Psalms 78:26-37

26He caused an east windH6921 to blowH5265 in the heavenH8064: and by his powerH5797 he brought inH5090 the south windH8486.1

27He rainedH4305 fleshH7607 also upon them as dustH6083, and featheredH3671 fowlsH5775 like as the sandH2344 of the seaH3220:2

28And he let it fallH5307 in the midstH7130 of their campH4264, round aboutH5439 their habitationsH4908.

29So they did eatH398, and were wellH3966 filledH7646: for he gaveH935 them their own desireH8378;

30They were not estrangedH2114 from their lustH8378. But while their meatH400 was yet in their mouthsH6310,

31The wrathH639 of GodH430 cameH5927 upon them, and slewH2026 the fattestH4924 of them, and smote downH3766 the chosenH970 men of IsraelH3478.34

32For all this they sinnedH2398 still, and believedH539 not for his wondrous worksH6381.

33Therefore their daysH3117 did he consumeH3615 in vanityH1892, and their yearsH8141 in troubleH928.

34When he slewH2026 them, then they soughtH1875 him: and they returnedH7725 and enquired earlyH7836 after GodH410.

35And they rememberedH2142 that GodH430 was their rockH6697, and the highH5945 GodH410 their redeemerH1350.

36Nevertheless they did flatterH6601 him with their mouthH6310, and they liedH3576 unto him with their tonguesH3956.

37For their heartH3820 was not rightH3559 with him, neither were they stedfastH539 in his covenantH1285.
