Psalms 78:25-38

25Man ate the bread of 1angels; He sent them 2food 3 4in abundance.26He 5made the east wind blow in the sky And by His 6power He directed the south wind.27When He rained meat upon them like the dust, Even 7winged fowl like the sand of the seas,28He let them fall in the midst of 8their camp, All around their dwellings.29So they 9ate and were well filled, And He 10satisfied their longing.30 11Yet before they had abandoned their longing, 12While their food was in their mouths,31The 13anger of God rose against them And killed 14some of their 15strongest ones, And 16subdued the choice men of Israel.32In spite of all this they 17still sinned And 18did not believe in His wonderful works.33So He brought 19their days to an end in futility, And their years to an end in sudden terror.

34When He killed them, then they 20sought Him, And they returned and searched 21diligently for God;35And they remembered that God was their 22rock, And the Most High God their 23Redeemer.36But they 24flattered Him with their mouth And 25lied to Him with their tongue.37For their heart was not 26steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful with His covenant.38But He, being 27compassionate, 28 29forgave their wrongdoing and did not destroy them; And often He 30 31restrained His anger And did not stir up all His wrath.
