The Ten Plagues, as Rendered by the Psalmist and Wycliffe

This from Psalm 78:43-52

As he setted his signs in Egypt; and his great wonders in the field of Tanis.
And he turned the floods of them, and the rains of them, into blood; that they should not drink.
He sent a flesh fly into them, and it ate them; and he sent a paddock, and it lost them.
And he gave the fruits of them to rust; and he gave the travails of them to locusts.                            
And he killed the vines of them with hail; and the (syca)more trees of them with frost.
And he betook the beasts of them (un)to hail; and the possession(s) of them (un)to fire.
He sent into them the ire of his indignation; indignation, and ire, and tribulation, sendings-in by evil angels.
He made (a) way to the path of his ire, and he spared not from the death of their lives; and he closed together in death the beasts of them.
And he smote all the first engendered thing(s) in the land of Egypt [And he smote all the first begotten in the land of Egypt]; the first fruits of all the travail of them in the tabernacles of Ham.
And he took away his people as sheep; and he led them forth as a flock in desert.
