Psalm 78:14–26 | Liturgical Calendar

14

He divided the sea, and let them go through *

he made the waters to stand on an heap.

15

In the day-time also he led them with a cloud *

and all the night through with a light of fire.

16

He clave the hard rocks in the wilderness *

and gave them drink thereof, as it had been out of the great depth.

17

He brought waters out of the stony rock *

so that it gushed out like the rivers.

18

Yet for all this they sinned more against him *

and provoked the most Highest in the wilderness.

19

They tempted God in their hearts *

and required meat for their lust.

20

They spake against God also, saying *

Shall God prepare a table in the wilderness?

21

He smote the stony rock indeed, that the waters gushed out, and the streams flowed withal *

but can he give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?

22

When the Lord heard this, he was wroth *

so the fire was kindled in Jacob, and there came up heavy displeasure against Israel;

23

Because they believed not in God *

and put not their trust in his help.

24

So he commanded the clouds above *

and opened the doors of heaven.

25

He rained down manna also upon them for to eat *

and gave them food from heaven.

26

So man did eat angels’ food *

for he sent them meat enough.
