Psalms 78:22-46

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

²³And He commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven;

²⁴And He caused manna to rain upon them for food, and gave them of the corn of heaven.

²⁵Man did eat the bread of the mighty; He sent them provisions to the full.

²⁶He caused the east wind to set forth in heaven; and by His power He brought on the south wind.

²⁷He caused flesh also to rain upon them as the dust, and winged fowl as the sand of the seas;

²⁸And He let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their dwellings.

²⁹So they did eat, and were well filled; and He gave them that which they craved.

³⁰They were not estranged from their craving, their food was yet in their mouths,

³¹When the anger of God went up against them, and slew of the lustieth among them, and smote down the young men of Israel.

³²For all this they sinned still, and believed not in His wondrous works.

³³Therefore He ended their days as a breath, and their years in terror.

³⁴When He slew them, then they would inquire after Him, and turn back and seek God earnestly.

³⁵And they remembered that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their redeemer.

³⁶But they beguiled Him with their mouth, and lied unto Him with their tongue.

³⁷For their heart was not stedfast with Him, neither were they faithful in His covenant.

³⁸But He, being full of compassion, forgiveth iniquity, and destroyeth not; yea, many a time doth He turn His anger away, and doth not stir up all His wrath.

³⁹So He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

⁴⁰How oft did they rebel against Him in the wilderness, and grieve Him in the desert!

⁴¹And still again they tried God, and set bounds to the Holy One of Israel.

⁴²They remembered not His hand, nor the day when He redeemed them from the adversary.

⁴³How He set His signs in Egypt, and His wonders in the field of Zoan;

⁴⁴And turned their rivers into blood, so that they could not drink their streams.

⁴⁵He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.

⁴⁶He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust.
