Rise up, O God, and scatter your enemies. Let those who hate God run for their lives.

Has any other god dared to take a nation for himself out of another nation by means of trials, miraculous signs, wonders, war, a strong hand, a powerful arm, and terrifying acts? Yet that is what the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, right before your eyes.

Look! The Lord is about to destroy the earth and make it a vast wasteland. He devastates the surface of the earth and scatters the people.

Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Pay close attention to this. I will make you seem like God to Pharaoh, and your brother, Aaron, will be your prophet.Tell Aaron everything I command you, and Aaron must command Pharaoh to let the people of Israel leave his country.But I will make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn so I can multiply my miraculous signs and wonders in the land of Egypt.Even then Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you. So I will bring down my fist on Egypt. Then I will rescue my forces— my people, the Israelites— from the land of Egypt with great acts of judgment.When I raise my powerful hand and bring out the Israelites, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord.”So Moses and Aaron did just as the Lord had commanded them.Moses was eighty years old, and Aaron was eighty three when they made their demands to Pharaoh.Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,“ Pharaoh will demand,‘ Show me a miracle.’ When he does this, say to Aaron,‘ Take your staff and throw it down in front of Pharaoh, and it will become a serpent.’”So Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and did what the Lord had commanded them. Aaron threw down his staff before Pharaoh and his officials, and it became a serpent!Then Pharaoh called in his own wise men and sorcerers, and these Egyptian magicians did the same thing with their magic.They threw down their staffs, which also became serpents! But then Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.Pharaoh’s heart, however, remained hard. He still refused to listen, just as the Lord had predicted.Then the Lord said to Moses,“ Pharaoh’s heart is stubborn, and he still refuses to let the people go.So go to Pharaoh in the morning as he goes down to the river. Stand on the bank of the Nile and meet him there. Be sure to take along the staff that turned into a snake.

“ But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand forces him.So I will raise my hand and strike the Egyptians, performing all kinds of miracles among them. Then at last he will let you go.

They did not remember his miraculous signs in Egypt, his wonders on the plain of Zoan.For he turned their rivers into blood, so no one could drink from the streams.He sent vast swarms of flies to consume them and hordes of frogs to ruin them.He gave their crops to caterpillars; their harvest was consumed by locusts.He destroyed their grapevines with hail and shattered their sycamore figs with sleet.He abandoned their cattle to the hail, their livestock to bolts of lightning.He loosed on them his fierce anger— all his fury, rage, and hostility. He dispatched against them a band of destroying angels.He turned his anger against them; he did not spare the Egyptians’ lives but ravaged them with the plague.He killed the oldest son in each Egyptian family, the flower of youth throughout the land of Egypt.But he led his own people like a flock of sheep, guiding them safely through the wilderness.He kept them safe so they were not afraid; but the sea covered their enemies.He brought them to the border of his holy land, to this land of hills he had won for them.He drove out the nations before them; he gave them their inheritance by lot. He settled the tribes of Israel into their homes.But they kept testing and rebelling against God Most High. They did not obey his laws.They turned back and were as faithless as their parents. They were as undependable as a crooked bow.They angered God by building shrines to other gods; they made him jealous with their idols.When God heard them, he was very angry, and he completely rejected Israel.Then he abandoned his dwelling at Shiloh, the Tabernacle where he had lived among the people.He allowed the Ark of his might to be captured; he surrendered his glory into enemy hands.He gave his people over to be butchered by the sword, because he was so angry with his own people— his special possession.Their young men were killed by fire; their young women died before singing their wedding songs.Their priests were slaughtered, and their widows could not mourn their deaths.Then the Lord rose up as though waking from sleep, like a warrior aroused from a drunken stupor.He routed his enemies and sent them to eternal shame.But he rejected Joseph’s descendants; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.He chose instead the tribe of Judah, and Mount Zion, which he loved.There he built his sanctuary as high as the heavens, as solid and enduring as the earth.He chose his servant David, calling him from the sheep pens.He took David from tending the ewes and lambs and made him the shepherd of Jacob’s descendants— God’s own people, Israel.He cared for them with a true heart and led them with skillful hands.

I will count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me— also Philistia and Tyre, and even distant Ethiopia. They have all become citizens of Jerusalem!

They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians, and wonders in the land of Ham.The Lord blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied his commands to let his people go.He turned their water into blood, poisoning all the fish.Then frogs overran the land and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.When the Lord spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians, and gnats swarmed across Egypt.He sent them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed over the land.He ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the trees.He spoke, and hordes of locusts came— young locusts beyond number.They ate up everything green in the land, destroying all the crops in their fields.Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home, the pride and joy of each family.The Lord brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold; and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled.Egypt was glad when they were gone, for they feared them greatly.The Lord spread a cloud above them as a covering and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.They asked for meat, and he sent them quail; he satisfied their hunger with manna— bread from heaven.He split open a rock, and water gushed out to form a river through the dry wasteland.For he remembered his sacred promise to his servant Abraham.So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy, his chosen ones with rejoicing.He gave his people the lands of pagan nations, and they harvested crops that others had planted.All this happened so they would follow his decrees and obey his instructions. Praise the Lord!

Rebuke these enemy nations— these wild animals lurking in the reeds, this herd of bulls among the weaker calves. Make them bring bars of silver in humble tribute. Scatter the nations that delight in war.

Don’t kill them, for my people soon forget such lessons; stagger them with your power, and bring them to their knees, O Lord our shield.
