Psalm 78:17-25
New American Standard Bible
17 Yet they still continued to sin against Him,
To (A)rebel against the Most High in the desert.
18 And in their heart they (B)put God to the test
By asking for (C)food [a]that suited their taste.
19 Then they spoke against God;
They said, “(D)Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, He (E)struck the rock so that waters gushed out,
And streams were overflowing;
Can He also provide bread?
Will He prepare (F)meat for His people?”
21 Therefore the Lord heard and [b]was (G)full of wrath;
And a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also mounted against Israel,
22 Because they (H)did not believe in God
And did not trust in His salvation.
23 Yet He commanded the clouds above
And (I)opened the doors of heaven;
24 He (J)rained down manna upon them to eat,
And gave them [c](K)food from heaven.
25 Man ate the bread of [d]angels;
He sent them [e]food [f](L)in abundance.

New International Version
17 But they continued to sin(A) against him,
rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High.
18 They willfully put God to the test(B)
by demanding the food they craved.(C)
19 They spoke against God;(D)
they said, “Can God really
spread a table in the wilderness?
20 True, he struck the rock,
and water gushed out,(E)
streams flowed abundantly,
but can he also give us bread?
Can he supply meat(F) for his people?”
21 When the Lord heard them, he was furious;
his fire broke out(G) against Jacob,
and his wrath rose against Israel,
22 for they did not believe in God
or trust(H) in his deliverance.
23 Yet he gave a command to the skies above
and opened the doors of the heavens;(I)
24 he rained down manna(J) 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.
