Psalms 105:26-31

Psalms 105

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

26He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

27They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28He sent darkness, and it became dark—yet they defied His words.

29He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.

30Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.

31He spoke, and insects swarmed—gnats throughout their country.
