Psalm 78:12–28

^12aHe did wonders before their fathers

In the land of Egypt, in the ^bfield of Zoan.

¹³He ^asplit the sea and caused them to pass through,

And He made the waters stand ^bup like a heap.

¹⁴Then He led them with the cloud by ^aday

And all the night with a ^blight of fire.

¹⁵He was ^asplitting the rocks in the wilderness

And so gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths.

¹⁶He ^abrought forth streams also from the cliff face

And caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷Yet they still continued to sin against Him,

To ^arebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸And in their heart they ^aput God to the test

By asking for ^bfood according to their desire.

¹⁹Then they spoke against God;

They said, “^aCan God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰“Behold, He ^astruck the rock so that waters gushed out,

And streams were overflowing;

Can He give bread also?

Will He prepare ^1bmeat for His people?”

²¹Therefore Yahweh heard and ¹was ^afull of wrath;

And a fire was kindled against Jacob

And anger also mounted against Israel,

²²Because they ^adid not believe in God

And did not trust in His salvation.

²³Yet He commanded the skies above

And ^aopened the doors of heaven;

²⁴He ^arained down manna upon them to eat

And gave them ^bgrain from heaven.

²⁵Man ate the bread of ¹angels;

He sent them provision ^ato satisfy.

²⁶He ^aled forth the east wind in the heavens

And by His strength He guided the south wind.

²⁷Then He rained ¹meat upon them like the dust,

Even ^awinged fowl like the sand of the seas,

²⁸He caused them to fall in the midst of His camp,

All around His dwelling places.
