Psalms 78:25-38

25ManH376 did eatH398 the breadH3899 of the mightyH47:He sentH7971 them foodH3899 to the full.26He caused the eastH6921 windH6921 to blow in the heavensH8064;And by his power he guided the southH8486 windH6921.27He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as the dustH6083,And wingedH3671 birdsH5775 as the sandH2344 of the seasH3220:28And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264,RoundH5439 about their habitations.29So they did eatH398, and were well filled;And he gave them their own desireH8378.30They were not estranged from that which they desiredH8378,Their foodH400 was yetH5750 in their mouthsH6310,31When the angerH639 of GodH430 wentH5927 up against them,And slewH2026 of the fattest of them,And smote down the youngH970 menH970 of IsraelH3478.32For all this they sinnedH2398 stillH5750,And believedH539 not in his wondrous works.33Therefore their daysH3117 did he consume in vanityH1892,And their yearsH8141 in terrorH928.34When he slewH2026 them, then they inquired after him;And they returnedH7725 and soughtH1875 GodH410 earnestlyH7836.35And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697,And the Most High GodH430 their redeemerH1350.36But they flattered him with their mouthH6310,And liedH3576 unto him with their tongueH3956.37For their heartH3820 was not right with him,Neither were they faithfulH539 in his covenantH1285.38But he, being merciful, forgave theiriniquityH5771, and destroyedH7843themnot:Yea, manyH7235 a time turnedH7725 he his angerH639 awayH7725,And did not stirH5782 up all his wrathH2534.
