Psalms

Psalm 78:26–29

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.

²⁹So they ate and were well filled,

for He gave them what they craved.
