Psalm 78:14–28

¹⁴He led them with a cloud by day

and with a light of fire all night.

¹⁵He split the rocks in the wilderness

and gave them drink as abundant as the seas.

¹⁶He brought streams from the stone

and made water flow down like rivers.

¹⁷But they continued to sin against Him,

rebelling in the desert against the Most High.

¹⁸They willfully tested God

by demanding the food they craved.

¹⁹They spoke against God, saying,

“Can God really prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰When He struck the rock, water gushed out

and torrents raged.

But can He also give bread

or supply His people with meat?”

²¹Therefore the LORD heard

and was filled with wrath;

so a fire was kindled against Jacob,

and His anger flared against Israel,

²²because they did not believe God

or rely on His salvation.

²³Yet He commanded the clouds above

and opened the doors of the heavens.

²⁴He rained down manna for them to eat;

He gave them grain from heaven.^c

²⁵Man ate the bread of angels;

He sent them food in abundance.

²⁶He stirred the east wind from the heavens

and drove the south wind by His might.

²⁷He rained meat on them like dust,

and winged birds like the sand of the sea.

²⁸He felled them in the midst of their camp,

all around their dwellings.
