Psalms 78:16-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 78
16He brought forth streams from the rock And made waters run down like rivers. 17Yet they still continued to sin against Him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert. 18And in their heart they put God to the test By asking for food that suited their taste. 19Then they spoke against God; They said, 'Can God prepare a table in the wilderness? 20Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out, And streams were overflowing; Can He also provide bread? Will He prepare meat for His people?' 21Therefore the Lord heard and was full of wrath; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also mounted against Israel, 22Because they did not believe in God And did not trust in His salvation.King James Version
Chapter 78
16He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers. 17And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the most High in the wilderness. 18And they tempted God in their heart by asking meat for their lust. 19Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 20Behold, 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? 21Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel; 22Because they believed not in God, and trusted not in his salvation:Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 78
16He brought streams out of the stone and made water flow down like rivers. 17But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High. 18They deliberately tested God, demanding the food they craved. 19They spoke against God, saying, "Is God able to provide food in the wilderness? 20Look! He struck the rock and water gushed out; torrents overflowed. But can he also provide bread or furnish meat for his people? " 21Therefore, the Lord heard and became furious; then fire broke out against Jacob, and anger flared up against Israel 22because they did not believe God or rely on his salvation.New Living Translation
17Yet they kept on sinning against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert.
18They stubbornly tested God in their hearts, demanding the foods they craved.
19They even spoke against God himself, saying, 'God can’t give us food in the wilderness.
20Yes, he can strike a rock so water gushes out, but he can’t give his people bread and meat.'
21When the Lord heard them, he was furious. The fire of his wrath burned against Jacob. Yes, his anger rose against Israel,
22for they did not believe God or trust him to care for them.

Chapter 78
16He made streams come out of the rock and caused waters to flow down like rivers. 17Yet they sinned still more against him, rebelling against the Most High in the desert. 18They tested God in their heart by demanding the food they craved. 19They spoke against God, saying, “Can God spread a table in the wilderness? 20He struck the rock so that water gushed out and streams overflowed. Can he also give bread or provide meat for his people?” 21Therefore, when the LORD heard, he was full of wrath; a fire was kindled against Jacob; his anger rose against Israel, 22because they did not believe in God and did not trust his saving power.New International Version
Chapter 78
16he brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers. 17But they continued to sin against him, rebelling in the wilderness against the Most High. 18They willfully put God to the test by demanding the food they craved. 19They spoke against God; they said, 'Can God really spread a table in the wilderness? 20True, he struck the rock, and water gushed out, streams flowed abundantly, but can he also give us bread? Can he supply meat for his people?' 21When the LORD heard them, he was furious; his fire broke out against Jacob, and his wrath rose against Israel, 22for they did not believe in God or trust in his deliverance.New King James Version
