Context of Psalms 78:22

20See, He struck the rock, waters gushed out, streams overflowed. But can He give bread? Will He provide meat for His people?” 21When Adonai heard, He was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, and fury also rose against Israel. For they did not believe in God or trust in His salvation. 23Yet He commanded the skies above and opened the doors of heaven, 24and rained down manna upon them to eat, and gave them grain of heaven.
