Psalm 78:15-27 English Standard Version (ESV)

15. He split rocks in the wildernessand gave them drink abundantly as from the deep.

16. He made streams come out of the rockand caused waters to flow down like rivers.

17. Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

18. They tested God in their heartby demanding the food they craved.

19. They spoke against God, saying, “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?

20. He struck the rock so that water gushed outand streams overflowed.Can he also give breador provide meat for his people?”

21. Therefore, when the Lord heard, he was full of wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob;his anger rose against Israel,

22. because they did not believe in Godand did not trust his saving power.

23. Yet he commanded the skies aboveand opened the doors of heaven,

24. and he rained down on them manna to eatand gave them the grain of heaven.

25. Man ate of the bread of the angels;he sent them food in abundance.

26. He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens,and by his power he led out the south wind;

27. he rained meat on them like dust,winged birds like the sand of the seas;
