Psalms 78:21

19 ^aYes, they spoke against God:
They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

20 ^aBehold, He struck the rock,
So that the waters gushed out,
And the streams overflowed.
Can He give bread also?
Can He provide meat for His people?”

21 Therefore the Lord heard this and ^awas furious;
So a fire was kindled against Jacob,
And anger also came up against Israel,

22 Because they ^adid not believe in God,
And did not trust in His salvation.

23 Yet He had commanded the clouds above,
^aAnd opened the doors of heaven,

24 ^aHad rained down manna on them to eat,
And given them of the¹ bread of ^bheaven.

Psalm 78:17-22

So they did not delight in God, resulting in a limitation to God's blessing them. And they suffered greatly when they could have had a great blessing. The idea is that, in their minds, they set a limit to the power of God; by lying to themselves, they convinced themselves that there was a boundary to His power that He could not pass or that there were things that He could not perform. There is, somewhere in the Scriptures, I do not remember where it is, but it is where it calls Satan a liar who has deceived himself. And that is what these people had become—liars who had deceived themselves.
