Psalms [Praises] 78:17-23

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

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

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

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

²¹Therefore Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed·, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob Supplanter, anger also went up against Israel God prevails,

²²because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his yishu'ah ·salvation·.

²³Yet he enjoined the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.
