Psalm 78:18 in context

  1. 16He brought streams also out of the rock,
    and caused waters to run down like rivers.
  2. 17Yet they still went on to sin against him,
    to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
  3. 18They tempted God in their heart
    by asking food according to their desire.
  4. 19Yes, they spoke against God.
    They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
  5. 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?”
