Psalms 78:11-18 in English

¹¹ And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.

¹² Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

¹⁵ He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

¹⁶ He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.

¹¹ Let the groaning of the prisoners come in before thee; according to the greatness of thine arm preserve the sons of the slain ones.

¹² Repay to our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, with which they have reproached thee, O Lord.

¹⁵ He split rocks open in the desert, giving to our ancestors plenty of water from deep inside the earth.

¹⁶ He caused a stream of water to flow from the rock; the water flowed like a river DOU.

¹⁷ But our ancestors continued to sin against God; in the desert they rebelled against the one who is greater than any other god.

¹⁸ By demanding that God give them the food that they desired, they tried to find out if he would always do what they requested him to do.
