Psalm 105:28-36 lists the plagues. Some of them. But not in the order they happened.
Instead of the ten plagues of exodus, there are only seven (darkness, water to blood, frogs, flies/gnats, hail, locusts, firstborn). Seven strikes a chord, as does the fact that the summary begins in darkness (reversing the first day of creation) and ends with the death of firstborn sons (reversing the sixth day of creation). Psalm 105 tells the story of the plagues as a reversal of creation, a sevenfold judgment that leaves Egypt in darkness and in dust.
