Psalm 78:11-22
World English Bible
11 They forgot his doings,
his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
12 He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers,
in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13 He split the sea, and caused them to pass through.
He made the waters stand as a heap.
14 In the daytime he also led them with a cloud,
and all night with a light of fire.
15 He split rocks in the wilderness,
and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
16 He brought streams also out of the rock,
and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 Yet they still went on to sin against him,
to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
18 They tempted God in their heart
by asking food according to their desire.
19 Yes, they spoke against God.
They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out,
and streams overflowed.
Can he give bread also?
Will he provide meat for his people?”
21 Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry.
A fire was kindled against Jacob,
anger also went up against Israel,
22 because they didn’t believe in God,
and didn’t trust in his salvation.

Psalm 78:11-22
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
11 And forgot His works and His wonders that He had shown them.
12 Marvelous things did He in the sight of their fathers in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan [where Pharaoh resided].
13 He divided the [Red] Sea and caused them to pass through it, and He made the waters stand like a heap.(A)
14 In the daytime also He led them with a [pillar of] cloud and all the night with a light of fire.(B)
15 He split rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink abundantly as out of the deep.
16 He brought streams also out of the rock [at Rephidim and Kadesh] and caused waters to run down like rivers.(C)
17 Yet they still went on to sin against Him by provoking and rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness (in the land of drought).
18 And they tempted God in their hearts by asking for food according to their [selfish] desire and appetite.
19 Yes, they spoke against God; they said, Can God furnish [the food for] a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, He did smite the rock so that waters gushed out and the streams overflowed; but can He give bread also? Can He provide flesh for His people?
21 Therefore, when the Lord heard, He was [full of] wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob, His anger mounted up against Israel,
22 Because in God they believed not [they relied not on Him, they adhered not to Him], and they trusted not in His salvation (His power to save).

New International Version
Psalm 78:11-22
New International Version
11 They forgot what he had done,(A)
the wonders he had shown them.
12 He did miracles(B) in the sight of their ancestors
in the land of Egypt,(C) in the region of Zoan.(D)
13 He divided the sea(E) and led them through;
he made the water stand up like a wall.(F)
14 He guided them with the cloud by day
and with light from the fire all night.(G)
15 He split the rocks(H) in the wilderness
and gave them water as abundant as the seas;
16 he brought streams out of a rocky crag
and made water flow down like rivers.
17 But they continued to sin(I) against him,
rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test(J)
by demanding the food they craved.(K)
19 They spoke against God;(L)
they said, “Can God really
spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
and water gushed out,(M)
streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
Can he supply meat(N) for his people?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
his fire broke out(O) against Jacob,
and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
or trust(P) in his deliverance.
