Psalm 78:21-25

    [21] Therefore, when the LORD heard, he was full of wrath;

        a fire was kindled against Jacob;

        his anger rose against Israel, 

    [22] because they did not believe in God

        and did not trust his saving power. 

    [23] Yet he commanded the skies above

        and opened the doors of heaven, 

    [24] and he rained down on them manna to eat

        and gave them the grain of heaven. 

    [25] Man ate of the bread of the angels;

        he sent them food in abundance.
