²² Cast your cares on the Lord
    and he will sustain you;^(A)
he will never let
    the righteous be shaken.^(B)

³ Trust in the Lord and do good;
    dwell in the land^(A) and enjoy safe pasture.^(B)

¹⁸ They willfully put God to the test^(A)
    by demanding the food they craved.^(B)
19 They spoke against God;^(C)
    they said, “Can God really
    spread a table in the wilderness?
²⁰ True, he struck the rock,
    and water gushed out,^(D)
    streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
    Can he supply meat^(E) for his people?”
²¹ When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
    his fire broke out^(F) against Jacob,
    and his wrath rose against Israel,
²² for they did not believe in God
    or trust^(G) in his deliverance.
²³ Yet he gave a command to the skies above
    and opened the doors of the heavens;^(H)
24 he rained down manna^(I) 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.
²⁶ He let loose the east wind^(J) from the heavens
    and by his power made the south wind blow.
²⁷ He rained meat down on them like dust,
    birds^(K) like sand on the seashore.
²⁸ He made them come down inside their camp,
    all around their tents.
²⁹ They ate till they were gorged—^(L)
    he had given them what they craved.
³⁰ But before they turned from what they craved,
    even while the food was still in their mouths,^(M)
31 God’s anger rose against them;
    he put to death the sturdiest^(N) among them,
    cutting down the young men of Israel.
