Psalm 105:39-41 Part 1 of 2

The LORD spread a cloud above them as a covering 

    and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.

They asked for meat, and he sent them quail;

    he satisfied their hunger with manna--bread from heaven.

He split open a rock, and water gushed out

    to form a river through the dry wasteland.

 

The LORD spread a cloud above them as a covering and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.

He rained down meat as thick as dust--

    birds as plentiful as the sand on the seashore!

    He gave them what they craved.  (see verses 17-31)
