Psalms 78
12 Ref He did great works before the eyes of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.
13 Ref The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.
14 Ref In the daytime he was guiding them in the cloud, and all through the night with a light of fire.
15 Ref The rocks of the waste land were broken by his power, and he gave them drink as out of the deep waters.
16 Ref He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.
17 Ref And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;
18 Ref Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.
19 Ref They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?
20 Ref See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?
21 Ref So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;
22 Ref Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.
23 Ref And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;
24 Ref And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.
25 Ref Man took part in the food of strong ones; he sent them meat in full measure.
26 Ref He sent an east wind from heaven, driving on the south wind by his power.
27 Ref He sent down meat on them like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the sea,
28 And he let it come down into their resting-place, round about their tents.
29 Ref So they had food and were full; for he gave them their desire;
30 Ref But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,
31 Ref The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.
32 Ref For all this they went on sinning even more, and had no faith in his great wonders.
33 Ref So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.
