Psalm 78:19–33

19 vYes, they spoke against God:

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

20 wBehold, 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?”

21 Therefore the Lord heard this and xwas furious;

So a fire was kindled against Jacob,

And anger also came up against Israel,

22 Because they ydid not believe in God,

And did not trust in His salvation.

23 Yet He had commanded the clouds above,

zAnd opened the doors of heaven,

24 aHad rained down manna on them to eat,

And given them of the 5bread of bheaven.

25 Men ate angels’ food;

He sent them food to 6the full.

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

And by His power He brought in the south wind.

27 He also rained meat on them like the dust,

Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;

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

All around their dwellings.

29 dSo they ate and were well filled,

For He gave them their own desire.

30 They were not 7deprived of their craving;

But ewhile their food was still in their mouths,

31 The wrath of God came against them,

And slew the stoutest of them,

And struck down the choice men of Israel.

32 In spite of this fthey still sinned,

And gdid not believe in His wondrous works.

33 hTherefore their days He consumed in futility,

And their years in fear.
