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 No se acordaron de su mano, Del d铆a que los redimi贸 de angustia;
43 Cuando puso en Egipto sus se帽ales, Y sus maravillas en el campo de Zo谩n;
44 Y volvi贸 sus r铆os en sangre, Y sus corrientes, porque no bebiesen.
45 Envi贸 entre ellos una mistura de moscas que los com铆an, Y ranas que los destruyeron.
46 Di贸 tambi茅n al pulg贸n sus frutos, Y sus trabajos 谩 la langosta.
