Psalm 78:44 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:44

And had turned their rivers into blood
The river Nile and its seven streams; this was the first of the plagues of Egypt, ( Exodus 7:20 Exodus 7:21 ) , and was a just retaliation for drowning the infants of the Israelites in their river, ( Exodus 1:22 ) , a like plague will be inflicted on spiritual Egypt, and with equal justice; see ( Revelation 11:8 ) ( 16:3-7 ) ,

and their floods, that they could not drink;
the rivulets that flowed from the Nile, and every spring or confluence of water; or rather by these rivers and floods are meant the canals and ditches, which, as Jarchi ^F5 observes, were made by the hands of men, from the banks of the river Nile, to water their fields with.

Psalm 78:44 In-Context

42 Jamás se acordaron de su poder,de cuando los rescató del opresor,

43 ni de sus señales milagrosas en Egipto,ni de sus portentos en la región de Zoán,

44 cuando convirtió en sangre los ríos egipciosy no pudieron ellos beber de sus arroyos;

45 cuando les envió tábanos que se los devoraban,y ranas que los destruían;

46 cuando entregó sus cosechas a los saltamontes,y sus sembrados a la langosta;
