​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?
²⁰Even though he struck the rock so that water gushed out
and torrents overflowed,
can he also give bread,
or provide meat for his people?”
⁵²Then he led out his people like sheep,
and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
⁵³He led them in safety, so that they were not afraid;
but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
⁵⁴And he brought them to his holy hill,
to the mountain that his right hand had won.
⁵⁵He drove out nations before them;
he apportioned them for a possession
and settled the tribes of Israel in their tents.
