Psalms 78:48

78:48 He rained hail down on their cattle, ¹ 

and hurled lightning bolts down on their livestock. ² 

Psalms 78:50

78:50 He sent his anger in full force; ³ 

he did not spare them from death;

he handed their lives over to destruction. ⁴ 

[78:48]  ¹ tn Heb “and he turned over to the hail their cattle.”

[78:48]  ² tn Heb “and their livestock to the flames.” “Flames” here refer to the lightning bolts that accompanied the storm.

[78:50]  ³ tn Heb “he leveled a path for his anger.” There were no obstacles to impede its progress; it moved swiftly and destructively.

[78:50]  ⁴ tn Or perhaps “[the] plague.”
