Psalms 78 — Context

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

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?

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;

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

And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;

And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.

Man took part in the food of strong ones; he sent them meat in full measure.
