Psalm 78:18-31

English Standard Version

¹⁸They ^(A)tested God in their heart
    by demanding the food they craved.
¹⁹They spoke against God, saying,
    ^(B)“Can God ^(C)spread a table in the wilderness?
²⁰^(D)He struck the rock so that water gushed out
    and streams overflowed.
Can he also give bread
    or provide meat for his people?”

²¹Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath;
    ^(E)a fire was kindled against Jacob;
    his anger rose against Israel,
²²because they ^(F)did not believe in God
    and did not trust his saving power.
²³Yet he commanded the skies above
    and ^(G)opened the doors of heaven,
²⁴and he ^(H)rained down on them manna to eat
    and gave them ^(I)the grain of heaven.
²⁵Man ate of the bread of ^(J)the angels;
    he sent them food ^(K)in abundance.
²⁶He ^(L)caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,
    and by his power he led out the south wind;
²⁷he rained meat on them like ^(M)dust,
    winged birds like ^(N)the sand of the seas;
²⁸he ^(O)let them fall in the midst of their camp,
    all around their dwellings.
²⁹And they ^(P)ate and were well filled,
    for he gave them what they ^(Q)craved.
³⁰But before they had satisfied their craving,
    ^(R)while the food was still in their mouths,
³¹the anger of God rose against them,
    and he killed ^(S)the strongest of them
    and laid low ^(T)the young men of Israel.
