Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger ... - This verse is designed to describe the last, and the most dreadful of the plagues that came upon the Egyptians, the slaying of their first-born; and hence, there is such an accumulation of expressions: anger - fierce anger - wrath - indignation - trouble. All these expressions are designed to be emphatic; all these things were combined when the first-born were slain. There was no form of affliction that could surpass this; and in this trial all the expressions of the divine displeasure seemed to be exhausted. It was meant that this should be the last of the plagues; it was meant that the nation should be humbled, and should be made willing that the people of Israel should go. By sending evil angels among them - There is reference here undoubtedly to the slaying of the first-born in Egypt. Exo 11:4-5; Exo 12:29-30. This work is ascribed to the agency of a destroyer (Exo 12:23; compare Heb 11:28), and the allusion seems to be to a destroying angel, or to an angel employed and commissioned to accomplish such a work. Compare Sa2 24:16; Kg2 19:35. The idea here is not that the angel himself was evil or wicked, but that he was the messenger of evil or calamity; he was the instrument by which these afflictions were brought upon them.

Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78]
When these plagues rose to the highest pitch, Israel became free, and removed, being led by its God, into the Land of Promise; but it continued still to behave there just as it had done in the desert. The poet in Psa 78:49-51 brings the fifth Egyptian plague, the pestilence (Exo 9:1-7), and the tenth and last, the smiting of the first-born (מכּת בּכרות), Exo 11:1, together. Psa 78:49 sounds like Job 20:23 (cf. below Psa 78:64). מלאכי רעים are not wicked angels, against which view Hengstenberg refers to the scriptural thesis of Jacobus Ode in his work De Angelis, Deum ad puniendos malos homines mittere bonos angelos et ad castigandos pios usurpare malos, but angels that bring misfortune. The mode of construction belongs to the chapter of the genitival subordination of the adjective to the substantive, like אשׁת רע, Pro 6:24, cf. Sa1 28:7; Num 5:18, Num 5:24; Kg1 10:15; Jer 24:2, and the Arabic msjdu 'l-jâm‛, the mosque of the assembling one, i.e., the assembling (congregational) mosque, therefore: angels (not of the wicked ones = wicked angels, which it might signify elsewhere, but) of the evil ones = evil, misfortune-bringing angels (Ew. ֗287, a). The poet thus paraphrases the המּשׁחית that is collectively conceived in Exo 12:13, Exo 12:23; Heb 11:28. In Psa 78:50 the anger is conceived of as a stream of fire, in Psa 78:50 death as an executioner, and in 50c the pestilence as a foe. ראשׁית אונים (Gen 49:3; Deu 21:17) is that which had sprung for the first time from manly vigour (plur. intensivus). Egypt is called חם as in Ps 105 and Psa 111:1-10 according to Gen 10:6, and is also called by themselves in ancient Egyptian Kemi, Coptic Chmi, Kme (vid., Plutarch, De Iside et Osiride, ch. 33). When now these plagues which softened their Pharaoh went forth upon the Egyptians, God procured for His people a free departure, He guided flock-like (כּעדר like בּעדר, Jer 31:24, with Dag. implicitum), i.e., as a shepherd, the flock of His people (the favourite figure of the Psalms of Asaph) through the desert, - He led them safely, removing all terrors out of the way and drowning their enemies in the Red Sea, to His holy territory, to the mountain which (זה) His right hand had acquired, or according to the accents (cf. supra, p. 104): to the mountain there (זה), which, etc. It is not Zion that is meant, but, as in the primary passage Exo 15:16., in accordance with the parallelism (although this is not imperative) and the usage of the language, which according to Isa 11:9; Isa 57:13, is incontrovertible, the whole of the Holy Land with its mountains and valleys (cf. Deu 11:11). בּחבל נחלה is the poetical equivalent to בּנחלה, Num 34:2; Num 36:2, and frequently. The Beth is Beth essentiae (here in the same syntactical position as in Isa 48:10; Eze 20:41, and also Job 22:24 surely): He made them (the heathen, viz., as in Jos 23:4 their territories) fall to them (viz., as the expression implies, by lot, בגורל) as a line of inheritance, i.e., (as in Psa 105:11) as a portion measured out as an inheritance. It is only in Psa 78:56 (and not so early as Psa 78:41) that the narration passes over to the apostate conduct of the children of the generation of the desert, that is to say, of the Israel of Canaan. Instead of עדוריו from עדוּת, the word here is עדוריו from עדה (a derivative of עוּד, not יעד). Since the apostasy did not gain ground until after the death of Joshua and Eleazar, it is the Israel of the period of the Judges that we are to think of here. קשׁת רמיּה, Psa 78:57, is not: a bow of slackness, but: a bow of deceit; for the point of comparison, according to Hos 7:16, is its missing the mark: a bow that discharges its arrow in a wrong direction, that makes no sure shot. The verb רמה signifies not only to allow to hang down slack (cogn. רפה), but also, according to a similar conception to spe dejicere, to disappoint, deny. In the very act of turning towards God, or at least being inclined towards Him by His tokens of power and loving-kindness, they turned (Jer 2:21) like a vow that misses the mark and disappoints both aim and expectation. The expression in Psa 78:58 is like Deu 32:16, Deu 32:21. שׁמע refers to their prayer to the Ba(a4lim (Jdg 2:11). The word התעבּר, which occurs three times in this Psalm, is a word belonging to Deuteronomy (Deu 3:26). Psa 78:59 is purposely worded exactly like Psa 78:21. The divine purpose of love spurned by the children just as by the fathers, was obliged in this case, as in the former, to pass over into angry provocation.

Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
Evil angels - Whom God employed in producing these plagues.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
By sending evil angels - This is the first mention we have of evil angels. There is no mention of them in the account we have of the plagues of Egypt in the Book of Exodus, and what they were we cannot tell: but by what the psalmist says here of their operations, they were the sorest plague that God had sent; they were marks or the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble. Some think the destroying angel that slew all the first-born is what is here intended; but this is distinctly mentioned in Psa 78:61. An angel or messenger may be either animate or inanimate; a disembodied spirit or human being; any thing or being that is an instrument sent of God for the punishment or support of mankind.

³⁵ And it came to pass that night [03915], that the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] went out [03318], and smote [05221] in the camp [04264] of the Assyrians [0804] an hundred [03967] fourscore [08084] and five [02568] thousand [0505]: and when they arose early [07925] in the morning [01242], behold, they were all dead [04191] corpses [06297].

¹⁶ And when the angel [04397] stretched out [07971] his hand [03027] upon Jerusalem [03389] to destroy [07843] it, the LORD [03068] repented [05162] him of the evil [07451], and said [0559] to the angel [04397] that destroyed [07843] the people [05971], It is enough [07227]: stay [07503] now thine hand [03027]. And the angel [04397] of the LORD [03068] was by the threshingplace [01637] of Araunah [0728] the Jebusite [02983].

²⁸ Through faith [4102] he kept [4160] the passover [3957], and [2532] the sprinkling [4378] of blood [129], lest [3363] he that destroyed [3645] the firstborn [4416] should touch [2345] them [846].

²³ For the LORD [03068] will pass through [05674] to smite [05062] the Egyptians [04714]; and when he seeth [07200] the blood [01818] upon the lintel [04947], and on the two [08147] side posts [04201], the LORD [03068] will pass over [06452] the door [06607], and will not suffer [05414] the destroyer [07843] to come [0935] in unto your houses [01004] to smite [05062] you.

²⁹ And it came to pass, that at midnight [02677] [03915] the LORD [03068] smote [05221] all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714], from the firstborn [01060] of Pharaoh [06547] that sat [03427] on his throne [03678] unto the firstborn [01060] of the captive [07628] that was in the dungeon [01004] [0953]; and all the firstborn [01060] of cattle [0929].
³⁰ And Pharaoh [06547] rose up [06965] in the night [03915], he, and all his servants [05650], and all the Egyptians [04714]; and there was a great [01419] cry [06818] in Egypt [04714]; for there was not a house [01004] where there was not one dead [04191].

⁴ And Moses [04872] said [0559], Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068], About midnight [03915] [02676] will I go out [03318] into the midst [08432] of Egypt [04714]:
⁵ And all the firstborn [01060] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714] shall die [04191], from the firstborn [01060] of Pharaoh [06547] that sitteth [03427] upon his throne [03678], even unto the firstborn [01060] of the maidservant [08198] that is behind [0310] the mill [07347]; and all the firstborn [01060] of beasts [0929].

²¹ Therefore the LORD [03068] heard [08085] this, and was wroth [05674]: so a fire [0784] was kindled [05400] against Jacob [03290], and anger [0639] also came up [05927] against Israel [03478];

⁵⁹ When God [0430] heard [08085] this, he was wroth [05674], and greatly [03966] abhorred [03988] Israel [03478]:

²⁶ But the LORD [03068] was wroth [05674] with me for your sakes, and would not hear [08085] me: and the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto me, Let it suffice [07227] thee; speak [01696] no more [03254] unto me of this matter [01697].

¹¹ And the children [01121] of Israel [03478] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and served [05647] Baalim [01168]:

²¹ They have moved me to jealousy [07065] with that which is not [03808] God [0410]; they have provoked me to anger [03707] with their vanities [01892]: and I will move them to jealousy [07065] with those which are not a people [05971]; I will provoke them to anger [03707] with a foolish [05036] nation [01471].

¹⁶ They provoked him to jealousy [07065] with strange [02114] gods, with abominations [08441] provoked they him to anger [03707].

⁵⁸ For they provoked him to anger [03707] with their high places [01116], and moved him to jealousy [07065] with their graven images [06456].

²¹ Yet I had planted [05193] thee a noble vine [08321], wholly a right [0571] seed [02233]: how then art thou turned [02015] into the degenerate plant [05494] of a strange [05237] vine [01612] unto me?

¹⁶ They return [07725], but not to the most High [05920]: they are like a deceitful [07423] bow [07198]: their princes [08269] shall fall [05307] by the sword [02719] for the rage [02195] of their tongue [03956]: this [02097] shall be their derision [03933] in the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].

⁵⁷ But turned back [05472], and dealt unfaithfully [0898] like their fathers [01]: they were turned aside [02015] like a deceitful [07423] bow [07198].

⁴¹ Yea, they turned back [07725] and tempted [05254] God [0410], and limited [08428] the Holy One [06918] of Israel [03478].

⁵⁶ Yet they tempted [05254] and provoked [04784] the most high [05945] God [0430], and kept [08104] not his testimonies [05713]:

¹¹ Saying [0559], Unto thee will I give [05414] the land [0776] of Canaan [03667], the lot [02256] of your inheritance [05159]:

⁴ Behold [07200], I have divided [05307] unto you by lot these nations [01471] that remain [07604], to be an inheritance [05159] for your tribes [07626], from Jordan [03383], with all the nations [01471] that I have cut off [03772], even unto the great [01419] sea [03220] westward [03996] [08121].

²⁴ Then shalt thou lay up [07896] gold [01220] as [05921] dust [06083], and the gold of Ophir [0211] as the stones [06697] of the brooks [05158].

⁴¹ I will accept [07521] you with your sweet [05207] savour [07381], when I bring you out [03318] from the people [05971], and gather [06908] you out of the countries [0776] wherein ye have been scattered [06327]; and I will be sanctified [06942] in you before [05869] the heathen [01471].

¹⁰ Behold, I have refined [06884] thee, but not with silver [03701]; I have chosen [0977] thee in the furnace [03564] of affliction [06040].

² And they said [0559], The LORD [03068] commanded [06680] my lord [0113] to give [05414] the land [0776] for an inheritance [05159] by lot [01486] to the children [01121] of Israel [03478]: and my lord [0113] was commanded [06680] by the LORD [03068] to give [05414] the inheritance [05159] of Zelophehad [06765] our brother [0251] unto his daughters [01323].

² Command [06680] the children [01121] of Israel [03478], and say [0559] unto them, When ye come [0935] into the land [0776] of Canaan [03667]; (this is the land [0776] that shall fall [05307] unto you for an inheritance [05159], even the land [0776] of Canaan [03667] with the coasts [01367] thereof:)

¹¹ But the land [0776], whither ye go [05674] to possess [03423] it, is a land [0776] of hills [02022] and valleys [01237], and drinketh [08354] water [04325] of the rain [04306] of heaven [08064]:

¹³ When thou criest [02199], let thy companies [06899] deliver [05337] thee; but the wind [07307] shall carry them all away [05375]; vanity [01892] shall take [03947] them: but he that putteth his trust [02620] in me shall possess [05157] the land [0776], and shall inherit [03423] my holy [06944] mountain [02022];

⁹ They shall not hurt [07489] nor destroy [07843] in all my holy [06944] mountain [02022]: for the earth [0776] shall be full [04390] of the knowledge [01844] of the LORD [03068], as the waters [04325] cover [03680] the sea [03220].

¹⁶ Fear [0367] and dread [06343] shall fall [05307] upon them; by the greatness [01419] of thine arm [02220] they shall be as still [01826] as a stone [068]; till thy people [05971] pass over [05674], O LORD [03068], till the people [05971] pass over [05674], which [02098] thou hast purchased [07069].

²⁴ And there shall dwell [03427] in Judah [03063] itself, and in all the cities [05892] thereof together [03162], husbandmen [0406], and they that go forth [05265] with flocks [05739].

⁶ And the sons [01121] of Ham [02526]; Cush [03568], and Mizraim [04714], and Phut [06316], and Canaan [03667].

¹ Praise [01984] ye the LORD [03050]. I will praise [03034] the LORD [03068] with my whole heart [03824], in the assembly [05475] of the upright [03477], and in the congregation [05712].
² The works [04639] of the LORD [03068] are great [01419], sought out [01875] of all them that have pleasure [02656] therein.
³ His work [06467] is honourable [01935] and glorious [01926]: and his righteousness [06666] endureth [05975] for ever [05703].
⁴ He hath made [06213] his wonderful works [06381] to be remembered [02143]: the LORD [03068] is gracious [02587] and full of compassion [07349].
⁵ He hath given [05414] meat [02964] unto them that fear [03373] him: he will ever [05769] be mindful [02142] of his covenant [01285].
⁶ He hath shewed [05046] his people [05971] the power [03581] of his works [04639], that he may give [05414] them the heritage [05159] of the heathen [01471].
⁷ The works [04639] of his hands [03027] are verity [0571] and judgment [04941]; all his commandments [06490] are sure [0539].
⁸ They stand fast [05564] for ever [05703] and ever [05769], and are done [06213] in truth [0571] and uprightness [03477].
⁹ He sent [07971] redemption [06304] unto his people [05971]: he hath commanded [06680] his covenant [01285] for ever [05769]: holy [06918] and reverend [03372] is his name [08034].
¹⁰ The fear [03374] of the LORD [03068] is the beginning [07225] of wisdom [02451]: a good [02896] understanding [07922] have all they that do [06213] his commandments: his praise [08416] endureth [05975] for ever [05703].

¹⁷ But he shall acknowledge [05234] the son [01121] of the hated [08130] for the firstborn [01060], by giving [05414] him a double [08147] portion [06310] of all that he hath [04672]: for he is the beginning [07225] of his strength [0202]; the right [04941] of the firstborn [01062] is his.

³ Reuben [07205], thou art my firstborn [01060], my might [03581], and the beginning [07225] of my strength [0202], the excellency [03499] of dignity [07613], and the excellency [03499] of power [05794]:

⁵⁰ He made [06424] a way [05410] to his anger [0639]; he spared [02820] not their soul [05315] from death [04194], but gave [05462] their life [02416] over [05462] to the pestilence [01698];

¹³ And the blood [01818] shall be to you for a token [0226] upon the houses [01004] where ye are: and when I see [07200] the blood [01818], I will pass [06452] over you, and the plague [05063] shall not be upon you to destroy [04889] you, when I smite [05221] the land [0776] of Egypt [04714].

² One [0259] basket [01731] had very [03966] good [02896] figs [08384], even like the figs [08384] that are first ripe [01073]: and the other [0259] basket [01731] had very [03966] naughty [07451] figs [08384], which could not be eaten [0398], they were so bad [07455].

¹⁵ Beside that he had of the merchantmen [0582] [08446], and of the traffick [04536] of the spice merchants [07402], and of all the kings [04428] of Arabia [06153], and of the governors [06346] of the country [0776].

²⁴ And he shall cause the woman [0802] to drink [08248] the bitter [04751] water [04325] that causeth the curse [0779]: and the water [04325] that causeth the curse [0779] shall enter [0935] into her, and become bitter [04751].

¹⁸ And the priest [03548] shall set [05975] the woman [0802] before [06440] the LORD [03068], and uncover [06544] the woman's [0802] head [07218], and put [05414] the offering [04503] of memorial [02146] in her hands [03709], which is the jealousy [07068] offering [04503]: and the priest [03548] shall have in his hand [03027] the bitter [04751] water [04325] that causeth the curse [0779]:

⁷ Then said [0559] Saul [07586] unto his servants [05650], Seek [01245] me a woman [0802] that hath [01172] a familiar spirit [0178], that I may go [03212] to her, and enquire [01875] of her.

²⁴ To keep [08104] thee from the evil [07451] woman [0802], from the flattery [02513] of the tongue [03956] of a strange woman [05237].

⁶⁴ Their priests [03548] fell [05307] by the sword [02719]; and their widows [0490] made no lamentation [01058].

²³ When he is about to fill [04390] his belly [0990], God shall cast [07971] the fury [02740] of his wrath [0639] upon him, and shall rain [04305] it upon him while he is eating [03894].

⁴⁹ He cast [07971] upon them the fierceness [02740] of his anger [0639], wrath [05678], and indignation [02195], and trouble [06869], by sending [04917] evil [07451] angels [04397] among them.

¹ And the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Yet will I bring [0935] one [0259] plague [05061] more upon Pharaoh [06547], and upon Egypt [04714]; afterwards [0310] he will let you go [07971] hence: when he shall let you go [07971], he shall surely [01644] thrust you out [01644] hence altogether [03617].

¹ Then the LORD [03068] said [0559] unto Moses [04872], Go [0935] in unto Pharaoh [06547], and tell [01696] him, Thus saith [0559] the LORD [03068] God [0430] of the Hebrews [05680], Let my people [05971] go [07971], that they may serve [05647] me.
² For if thou refuse [03986] to let them go [07971], and wilt hold [02388] them still,
³ Behold, the hand [03027] of the LORD [03068] is [01961] upon thy cattle [04735] which is in the field [07704], upon the horses [05483], upon the asses [02543], upon the camels [01581], upon the oxen [01241], and upon the sheep [06629]: there shall be a very [03966] grievous [03515] murrain [01698].
⁴ And the LORD [03068] shall sever [06395] between the cattle [04735] of Israel [03478] and the cattle [04735] of Egypt [04714]: and there shall nothing [01697] die [04191] of all that is the children's [01121] of Israel [03478].
⁵ And the LORD [03068] appointed [07760] a set time [04150], saying [0559], To morrow [04279] the LORD [03068] shall do [06213] this thing [01697] in the land [0776].
⁶ And the LORD [03068] did [06213] that thing [01697] on the morrow [04283], and all the cattle [04735] of Egypt [04714] died [04191]: but of the cattle [04735] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478] died [04191] not one [0259].
⁷ And Pharaoh [06547] sent [07971], and, behold, there was not one [0259] of the cattle [04735] of the Israelites [03478] dead [04191]. And the heart [03820] of Pharaoh [06547] was hardened [03513], and he did not let the people [05971] go [07971].

⁴⁹ He cast [07971] upon them the fierceness [02740] of his anger [0639], wrath [05678], and indignation [02195], and trouble [06869], by sending [04917] evil [07451] angels [04397] among them.
⁵⁰ He made [06424] a way [05410] to his anger [0639]; he spared [02820] not their soul [05315] from death [04194], but gave [05462] their life [02416] over [05462] to the pestilence [01698];
⁵¹ And smote [05221] all the firstborn [01060] in Egypt [04714]; the chief [07225] of their strength [0202] in the tabernacles [0168] of Ham [02526]:

⁶¹ And delivered [05414] his strength [05797] into captivity [07628], and his glory [08597] into the enemy's [06862] hand [03027].
