Psalms 78:16-20

Context

78:16 He caused streams to flow from the rock,

and made the water flow like rivers.

78:17 Yet they continued to sin against him,

and rebelled against the sovereign One 1  in the desert.

78:18 They willfully challenged God 2 

by asking for food to satisfy their appetite.

78:19 They insulted God, saying, 3 

“Is God really able to give us food 4  in the wilderness?

78:20 Yes, 5  he struck a rock and water flowed out,

streams gushed forth.

But can he also give us food?

Will he provide meat for his people?”

1 tn Heb “rebelling [against] the Most High.”

2 tn Heb “and they tested God in their heart.” The “heart” is viewed here as the center of their volition.

3 tn Heb “they spoke against God, they said.”

4 tn Heb “to arrange a table [for food].”

5 tn Heb “look.”
