Psalm 78:17-25
New American Standard Bible
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.

Psalm 78:17-25
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.
Psalm 78:17-25
King James Version
Psalm 78:17-25
King James Version
17 And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.
18 And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.
19 Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
20 Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?
21 Therefore the Lord heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
22 Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:
23 Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,
24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.
25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
