Psalms 78:17-42

DouayRheims(i) 17 And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water. 18 And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires. 19 And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 20 Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people? 21 Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel. 22 Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation. 23 And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven. 24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven. 25 Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance. 26 He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind. 27 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea. 28 And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions. 29 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire: 30 they were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth: 31 And the wrath of God came upon them.

And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath. 39 And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not. 40 How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to wrath in the place without water? 41 And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of Israel. 42 They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
