This is just a translation mistake. Most versions say “destroying angels.” The context shows that this is talking about the angel of death that God sent to kill the firstborn of Egypt, and perhaps referencing also similar later events such as the angels of death which destroyed the Assyrian army while they slept in their tents while Hezekiah was king in Jerusalem. These angels were all acting on God’s instructions.
In the Bible all angels are obedient angels (see Hebrews 1:14).
He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by sending evil angels among them. (Psalm 78:49 KJV)
He cast on them the fierceness of His anger,Wrath, indignation, and trouble, By sending angels of destruction among them. (Psalm 78:49 NKJV)
The verse has been corrected in the NKJV.
