25 Man ate the food of the mighty ones.[a]
He sent them more than enough to eat.[b]
26 He brought the east wind through the sky,
and by his strength led forth the south wind.
27 He rained down meat on them like dust,
birds as numerous as the sand on the seashores.[c]

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 78:25 sn Because of the reference to “heaven” in the preceding verse, it is likely that mighty ones refers here to the angels of heaven. The LXX translates “angels” here, as do a number of modern translations (NEB, NIV, NRSV).
  2. Psalm 78:25 tn Heb “provision he sent to them to satisfaction.”
  3. Psalm 78:27 tn Heb “and like the sand of the seas winged birds.”
