Psalms 78:16-22 in English

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.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation.

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

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:

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

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:

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 meat for their lust.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; can he give bread also? will he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard, and was wroth: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation.

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.

¹⁹ They insulted God by saying, “We don't think he can supply food for us here in this desert!

²⁰ It is true that he struck the rock, with the result that water gushed/flowed out, but ◄can he also provide bread and meat for us, his people?/we doubt that he can also provide bread and meat for us, his people.►” RHQ

²¹ So, when Yahweh heard that, he became very angry, and he sent a fire to burn up some of his Israeli people. MTY, DOU

²² He did that because they did not trust in him, and they did not believe that he would rescue them.

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

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

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

²² because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

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

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

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore Yahweh heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

²² because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

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

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

¹⁸ They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

¹⁹ Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,

²² because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.

¹⁶ He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.

¹⁷ And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;

¹⁸ Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.

¹⁹ They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?

²⁰ See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

²¹ So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;

²² Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.

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

¹⁷ Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert;

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart, by asking meat for their lust;

¹⁹ And they spoke against God: they said, Is God able to prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; and fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel:

²² Because they believed not in God, and confided not in his salvation;

¹⁶ He made streams flow from the stone; water rushing down like rivers!

¹⁷ But they repeatedly sinned against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They deliberately provoked God by demanding the foods they longed for.

¹⁹ They insulted God by saying, “Can God provide food here in the desert?

²⁰ Yes, he can strike a rock so that water gushes out like flowing rivers, but can he give us bread? Can he supply his people with meat?”

²¹ When he heard this, the Lord became very angry, burning like fire against the descendants of Jacob, furious with the people of Israel,

²² for they didn't believe in God and didn't trust him to take care of them.

¹⁶ He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.

¹⁷ Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,

¹⁸ And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.

¹⁹ They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,

²² Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.

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 tried God in their heart by asking food for their craving.

¹⁹ Yea, they spoke against God; they said: 'Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, He smote the rock, that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; can He give bread also? or will He provide flesh for His people?'

²¹ Therefore the LORD heard, and was wroth; and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel;

²² Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in His salvation.

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

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:

¹⁶ And he brought forth running streams out of the rock, and caused water to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ But they repeated to sin yet more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their heart, by asking food for their desire.

¹⁹ Yea, they spoke against God: they said, Will God be able to set in order a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed: shall he also be able to give bread? or can he provide flesh for his people?

²¹ Therefore, when the Lord heard this, he became wroth: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also ascended against Israel,

²² Because they had not believed in God, and had not trusted in his salvation.

¹⁶ From the rock he brought flowing streams, And made water to run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet still they sinned against him, And provoked the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They tempted God in their hearts, By asking food for their delight.

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God, and said, “Can God spread a table in the wilderness?

²⁰ Behold! he smote the rock, and the water flowed, And streams gushed forth: Is he also able to give bread? Can he provide flesh for his people?”

²¹ When, therefore, the LORD heard this, he was wroth: So a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger arose against Israel.

²² Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his aid.

¹⁶ He brought streams out of the rock, and made water run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on sinning against him, they defied the Most High in the desert.

¹⁸ They wilfully challenged God, demanding the food that they longed for.

¹⁹ “Is God able,” such was their challenge, “to spread in the desert a table?

²⁰ From the rock that he struck there gushed water, and torrents that overflowed; but can he also give bread, or provide his people with meat?”

²¹ When the Lord heard this, he was furious, and fire was kindled on Jacob, anger flared up against Israel.

²² For they put no trust in God, no confidence in his help.

¹⁶ He brought streams out of the rock, and made water run down like rivers.

¹⁷ Yet they still went on sinning against him, they defied the Most High in the desert.

¹⁹ They spoke against God; they said, “Can God really lay out a table for us in the wilderness?

²⁰ See, when he struck the rock, waters gushed out and streams overflowed. But can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

²¹ When Yahweh heard this, he was angry; so his fire burned against Jacob, and his anger attacked Israel,

¹⁶ And he led water out of the stone; and he led forth waters as floods.

¹⁷ And they putted yet to do sin against him; they excited the high God into ire, in a place without water.

¹⁸ And they tempted God in their hearts; that they asked meats to their lives.

¹⁹ And they spake evil of God; they said, Whether God may make ready a board in desert?

²⁰ For he smote a stone, and waters flowed; and streams went out in abundance. Whether also he may give bread; either make ready a board to his people?

²¹ Therefore the Lord heard, and delayed; and fire was kindled in Jacob, and the ire of God ascended or went up on Israel.

²² For they believed not in God; neither hoped in his health.

¹⁶ And he led water out of the stone; and he led forth waters as floods. (Yea, he brought forth water out of that rock; and it came forth like a river.)

¹⁷ And they putted yet to do sin against him; they excited the high God into ire, in a place without water. (And still they sinned against him; they incited the Most High God to anger, in a place without water.)
