Psalm 78:12–28

¹²He worked wonders in the sight of their ancestors

in the land of Egypt, the territory of Zoan.^s

¹³He split the sea and brought them across;

the water stood firm like a wall.^t

¹⁴He led them with a cloud by day

and with a fiery light throughout the night.^u

¹⁵He split rocks in the wilderness

and gave them drink as abundant as the depths.^v

¹⁶He brought streams out of the stone

and made water flow down like rivers.^w

¹⁷But they continued to sin against him,

rebelling in the desert against the Most High.^x

¹⁸They deliberately^A tested God,

demanding the food they craved.^y

¹⁹They spoke against God, saying,

“Is God able to provide food in the wilderness?

²⁰Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out;

torrents overflowed.^z

But can he also provide bread

or furnish meat for his people?”^aa

²¹Therefore, the Lord heard and became furious;

then fire broke out against Jacob,

and anger flared up against Israel^ab

²²because they did not believe God

or rely on his salvation.^ac

²³He gave a command to the clouds above

and opened the doors of heaven.^ad

²⁴He rained manna for them to eat;

he gave them grain from heaven.^ae

²⁵People^B ate the bread of angels.^C

He sent them an abundant supply of food.^af

²⁶He made the east wind blow in the skies

and drove the south wind by his might.^ag

²⁷He rained meat on them like dust,

and winged birds like the sand of the seas.

²⁸He made them fall in the camp,

all around the tents.^a
