Context of Psalms 78:22

20True, he did strike a rock, and water did gush out, and the streams did overflow. But can he also give us bread or provide us, his people, with meat?” 21When the Lord heard this, he became furious. His fire burned against Jacob and his anger flared up at Israel because they did not believe God or trust him to save them. 23In spite of that, he commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven. 24He rained manna down on them to eat and gave them grain from heaven.

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 22They believed not in God - After all the miracles they had seen, they were not convinced that there was a Supreme Being! and, consequently, they did not trust in his salvation - did not expect the glorious rest which he had promised them.
