Psalm 78:18–31

18  And hthey tempted God in their heart

By asking meat for their lust.

19  Yea, they spake against God; they said,

iCan God †furnish a table in the wilderness?

20  Behold, jhe smote the rock, that kthe waters gushed out,

And the streams overflowed;

Can he give bread also?

Can he lprovide flesh for his people?

21  Therefore the Lord heard this, and mwas wroth:

So na fire was kindled against oJacob,

And anger also pcame up against oIsrael;

22  Because they qbelieved not in God,

And trusted not in his salvation:

23  Though he had commanded the clouds from above,

And ropened the doors of heaven,

24  And had srained down manna upon them to eat,

And had given them of tthe corn of heaven.

25  ||Man did eat uangels’ food:

He sent them meat wto the full.

26  He caused an east wind †to blow in the heaven:

And by his power he xbrought in the south wind.

27  He rained flesh also upon them yas dust,

And †feathered fowls like zas the sand of the sea:

28  aAnd he let it fall in the midst of their camp,

Round about their habitations.

29  bSo they did eat, and were well filled:

For he gave them their own cdesire;

30  They were not estranged from their clust.

But dwhile their meat was yet in their mouths,

31  The wrath of God ecame upon them,

And slew the ffattest of them,

And †smote down the ||chosen men of Israel.
