Psalms 78:21-35 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

21. The Lord heard and grew angry;fire blazed up against Jacob;anger flared up against Israel.

22. For they did not believe in God,did not trust in his saving power.

23. So he commanded the clouds above;and opened the doors of heaven.

24. God rained manna upon them for food;grain from heaven he gave them.

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

26. He stirred up the east wind in the skies;by his might God brought on the south wind.

27. He rained meat upon them like dust,winged fowl like the sands of the sea,

28. They fell down in the midst of their camp,all round their dwellings.

29. They ate and were well filled;he gave them what they had craved.

30. But while they still wanted more,and the food was still in their mouths,

31. God’s anger flared up against them,and he made a slaughter of their strongest,laying low the youth of Israel.

32. In spite of all this they went on sinning,they did not believe in his wonders.

33. God ended their days abruptly,their years in sudden death.

34. When he slew them, they began to seek him;they again looked for God.

35. They remembered that God was their rock,God Most High, their redeemer.
