Psalm 105:27

They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

25He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
26He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
