Psalms 78:10-32

10They did not keep the covenant of God And refused to walk according to His law;

11And they forgot His [incredible] works And His miraculous wonders that He had shown them.

12He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan [where Pharaoh resided].

13He divided the [Red] Sea and allowed them to pass through it, And He made the waters stand up like [water behind] a dam.

14In the daytime He led them with a cloud And all the night with a light of fire.

15He split rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant [water to] drink like the ocean depths.

16He brought streams also from the rock [at Rephidim and Kadesh] And caused waters to run down like rivers.

17Yet they still continued to sin against Him By rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

18And in their hearts they put God to the test By asking for food according to their [selfish] appetite.

19Then they spoke against God; They said, “Can God prepare [food for] a table in the wilderness?

20Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out And the streams overflowed; Can He give bread also? Or will He provide meat for His people?”

21Therefore, when the Lord heard, He was full of wrath; A fire was kindled against Jacob, And His anger mounted up against Israel,

22Because they did not believe in God [they did not rely on Him, they did not adhere to Him], And they did not trust in His salvation (His power to save).

23Yet He commanded the clouds from above And opened the doors of heaven;

24And He rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them the grain of heaven.

25Man ate the bread of angels; God sent them provision in abundance.

26He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens And by His [unlimited] power He guided the south wind.

27He rained meat upon them like the dust, And winged birds (quail) like the sand of the seas.

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

29So they ate and were well filled, He gave them what they craved.

30Before they had satisfied their desire, And while their food was in their mouths,

31The wrath of God rose against them And killed some of the strongest of them, And subdued the choice young men of Israel.

32In spite of all this they still sinned, For they did not believe in His wonderful and extraordinary works.
