Psalms 78:26-37

26He 1caused the eastH6921 windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavensH8064 And by His 2powerH5797 He directedH5090 the southH8486 windH8486.27When He rainedH4305 3meatH7607 upon them like the dustH6083, Even 4wingedH3671 fowlH5775 like the sandH2344 of the seasH3220,28Then He let them fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of 5their campH4264, RoundH5439 aboutH5439 their dwellingsH4908.29So they 6ateH398 and were wellH3966 filledH7646, And their desireH8378 He gaveH935 to them.307Before they had satisfiedH2114 their desireH8378, 8WhileH5750 their foodH400 was in their mouthsH6310,31The 9angerH639 of GodH430 roseH5927 against them And killedH2026 10some of their 11stoutestH4924 ones, And 12subduedH3766 the choiceH970 menH977 of IsraelH3478.32In spite of allH3605 thisH2088 they 13stillH5750 sinnedH2398 And 14did not believeH539 in His wonderfulH6381 worksH6381.33So He broughtH3615 15their daysH3117 to an endH3615 in 16futilityH1892 And their yearsH8141 in suddenH928 terrorH928.

34WhenH518 He killedH2026 them, then they 17soughtH1875 Him, And returnedH7725 and searchedH7836 18diligentlyH7836 for GodH410;35And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their 19rockH6697, And the MostH5945 HighH5945 GodH410 their 20RedeemerH1350.36But they 21deceivedH6601 Him with their mouthH6310 And 22liedH3576 to Him with their tongueH3956.37For their heartH3820 was not 23steadfastH3559 towardH5973 Him, NorH3808 were they faithfulH539 in His covenantH1285.
