Psalms 78:12-25

12 1He wrought wonders before their fathers In the land of Egypt, in the 2field of Zoan.13He 3divided the sea and caused them to pass through, And He made the waters stand 4up like a heap.14Then He led them with the cloud by 5day And all the night with a 6light of fire.15He 7split the rocks in the wilderness And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths.16He 8brought forth streams also from the rock And caused waters to run down like rivers.

17Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To 9rebel against the Most High in the desert.18And in their heart they 10put God to the test By asking 11food according to their desire.19Then they spoke against God; They said, “12Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?20Behold, He 13struck the rock so that waters gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He give bread also? Will He provide 14 15meat for His people?”

21Therefore the Lord heard and 16was 17full of wrath; And a fire was kindled against Jacob And anger also mounted against Israel,22Because they 18did not believe in God And did not trust in His salvation.23Yet He commanded the clouds above And 19opened the doors of heaven;24He 20rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them 21 22food from heaven.25Man did eat the bread of 23angels; He sent them 24food 25 26in abundance.
