Psalm 78:12–28

^12mMarvelous things He did in the sight of their fathers,

In the land of Egypt, ⁿin the field of Zoan.

^13oHe divided the sea and caused them to pass through;

And ^pHe made the waters stand up like a heap.

^14qIn the daytime also He led them with the cloud,

And all the night with a light of fire.

^15rHe split the rocks in the wilderness,

And gave them drink in abundance like the depths.

¹⁶He also brought ^sstreams out of the rock,

And caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷But they sinned even more against Him

By ^trebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.

¹⁸And ^uthey tested God in their heart

By asking for the food of their fancy.

^19vYes, they spoke against God:

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

^20wBehold, He struck the rock,

So that the waters gushed out,

And the streams overflowed.

Can He give bread also?

Can He provide meat for His people?”

²¹Therefore the Lord heard this and ^xwas furious;

So a fire was kindled against Jacob,

And anger also came up against Israel,

²²Because they ^ydid not believe in God,

And did not trust in His salvation.

²³Yet He had commanded the clouds above,

^zAnd opened the doors of heaven,

^24aHad rained down manna on them to eat,

And given them of the ⁵bread of ^bheaven.

²⁵Men ate angels’ food;

He sent them food to ⁶the full.

^26cHe caused an east wind to blow in the heavens;

And by His power He brought in the south wind.

²⁷He also rained meat on them like the dust,

Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;

²⁸And He let them fall in the midst of their camp,

All around their dwellings.
