Psalms 78:25-38

25They ate the food of angels! God gave them all they could hold.

26He released the east wind in the heavens and guided the south wind by his mighty power.

27He rained down meat as thick as dust— birds as plentiful as the sand on the seashore!

28He caused the birds to fall within their camp and all around their tents.

29The people ate their fill. He gave them what they craved.

30But before they satisfied their craving, while the meat was yet in their mouths,

31the anger of God rose against them, and he killed their strongest men. He struck down the finest of Israel’s young men.

32But in spite of this, the people kept sinning. Despite his wonders, they refused to trust him.

33So he ended their lives in failure, their years in terror.

34When God began killing them, they finally sought him. They repented and took God seriously.

35Then they remembered that God was their rock, that God Most High was their redeemer.

36But all they gave him was lip service; they lied to him with their tongues.

37Their hearts were not loyal to him. They did not keep his covenant.

38Yet he was merciful and forgave their sins and did not destroy them all. Many times he held back his anger and did not unleash his fury!
