Psalm 78

He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them,
and frogs, which destroyed them.
He gave their crops to the caterpillar,
and the fruit of their labour to the locust.
He destroyed their vines with hail,
and their sycomores with frost.
He gave over their cattle to the hail,
and their flocks to thunderbolts.
He let loose on them his fierce anger,
wrath, indignation, and distress,
a company of destroying angels.

I have tried to interpret "He" out of the scripture, but I cannot.

Swarms of flies, caterpillar, locust, hail and more still trouble us.

In today's troubles I perceive nature and randomness, not a purposeful and punishing God.

At the close of the psalm we read, "With upright heart he tended them,and guided them with skilful hand."

Can we have God in one place and not the other? I hope so.
