He clave the rocks in the wilderness, and gave {them} drink as {out of} the great depths.

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.

They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:

That the generation to come might know {them, even} the children {which} should be born; {who} should arise and declare {them} to their children:

Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

He divided the sea, and caused them to pass through; and he made the waters to stand as an heap.

And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness.

And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation {that} set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God. {that...: Heb. that prepared not their heart}

Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, {in} the field of Zoan.

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

Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? {furnish: Heb. order}

In the daytime also he led them with a cloud, and all the night with a light of fire.

Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.

That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:

And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust.

And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven.

For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children:

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?

We will not hide {them} from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.

[Maschil of Asaph.] Give ear, O my people, {to} my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. {Maschil...: or, A Psalm for Asaph to give instruction}

The children of Ephraim, {being} armed, {and} carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. {carrying: Heb. throwing forth}

Therefore the LORD heard {this}, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;

Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full. {Man...: or, Every one did eat the bread of the mighty}

The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen {men} of Israel. {smote...: Heb. made to bow} {Chosen...: or, young men}

He rained flesh also upon them as dust, and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea: {feathered...: Heb. fowl of wing}

When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.

Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.

And he let {it} fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations.

For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.

They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat {was} yet in their mouths,

He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind. {to blow: Heb. to go}

So they did eat, and were well filled: for he gave them their own desire;
