Context of Psalms 78:22
20Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people? 21Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel; Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation. 23Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven; 24And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven.
