Psalm 78:17-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
17 Yet they sinned still more against him,
rebelling against the Most High in the desert.(A)
18 They tested God in their heart
by demanding the food they craved.(B)
19 They spoke against God, saying,
“Can God spread a table in the wilderness?(C)
20 Even though he struck the rock so that water gushed out
and torrents overflowed,
can he also give bread
or provide meat for his people?”(D)
Psalm 78:52-55
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
52 Then he led out his people like sheep
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.(A)
53 He led them in safety so that they were not afraid,
but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.(B)
54 And he brought them to his holy hill,
to the mountain that his right hand had won.(C)
55 He drove out nations before them;
he apportioned them for a possession
and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.(D)
