Psalm 78:17-25
New King James Version
Psalm 78:17-25
New King James Version
17 But they sinned even more against Him
By (A)rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.
18 And (B)they tested God in their heart
By asking for the food of their fancy.
19 (C)Yes, they spoke against God:
They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 (D)Behold, He struck the rock,
So that the waters gushed out,
And the streams overflowed.
Can He give bread also?
Can He provide meat for His people?”
21 Therefore the Lord heard this and (E)was furious;
So a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also came up against Israel,
22 Because they (F)did not believe in God,
And did not trust in His salvation.
23 Yet He had commanded the clouds above,
(G)And opened the doors of heaven,
24 (H)Had rained down manna on them to eat,
And given them of the [a]bread of (I)heaven.
25 Men ate angels’ food;
He sent them food to [b]the full.

Psalm 78:17-25
New International Version
17 But they continued to sin(A) against him,
rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test(B)
by demanding the food they craved.(C)
19 They spoke against God;(D)
they said, “Can God really
spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
and water gushed out,(E)
streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
Can he supply meat(F) for his people?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
his fire broke out(G) against Jacob,
and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
or trust(H) in his deliverance.
23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above
and opened the doors of the heavens;(I)
24 he rained down manna(J) for the people to eat,
he gave them the grain of heaven.
25 Human beings ate the bread of angels;
he sent them all the food they could eat.
