Pan de fuertes comió el hombre; les envió comida en abundancia.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 77:25

Verse 25. Man did eat angels' food ] ya lka µyryba µjl lechem abbirim achal ish, "Man did eat the bread of the mighty ones;" or, each person ate, &c. They ate such bread as could only be expected at the tables of the rich and great, the best, the most delicate food. How little did this gross people know of the sublime excellence of that which they called light bread, and which they said their soul loathed; Num. xxi. 5! It was a type of Jesus Christ for so says St. Paul: "They all ate the same spiritual meat, and drank the same spiritual drink," &c., 1 Cor. x. 3, 4. And our Lord calls himself "the bread that came down from heaven, that giveth life unto the world," John vi. 31-x25: but a Jew sees nothing but with the eyes of flesh. It is true their doctors or rabbins are full of allegories, mysteries, and conceits; but they are, in general, such as would disgrace the Cabinet des Fees, and would not be tolerated in the nursery. O, how thick a veil hangs over their gross and hardened hearts.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 9-39 - Sin dispirits men, and takes away the heart. Forgetfulness of God' works is the cause of disobedience to his laws. This narrative relate a struggle between God's goodness and man's badness. The Lord hears all our murmurings and distrusts, and is much displeased. Those that wil not believe the power of God's mercy, shall feel the fire of his indignation. Those cannot be said to trust in God's salvation as their happiness at last, who can not trust his providence in the way to it To all that by faith and prayer, ask, seek, and knock, these doors of heaven shall at any time be opened; and our distrust of God is a grea aggravation of our sins. He expressed his resentment of their provocation; not in denying what they sinfully lusted after, but in granting it to them. Lust is contented with nothing. Those that indulg their lust, will never be estranged from it. Those hearts are har indeed, that will neither be melted by the mercies of the Lord, no broken by his judgments. Those that sin still, must expect to be in trouble still. And the reason why we live with so little comfort, an to so little purpose, is, because we do not live by faith. Under thes rebukes they professed repentance, but they were not sincere, for the were not constant. In Israel's history we have a picture of our ow hearts and lives. God's patience, and warnings, and mercies, imbolde them to harden their hearts against his word. And the history of kingdoms is much the same. Judgments and mercies have been littl attended to, until the measure of their sins has been full. And highe advantages have not kept churches from declining from the commandment of God. Even true believers recollect, that for many a year they abuse the kindness of Providence. When they come to heaven, how will the admire the Lord's patience and mercy in bringing them to his kingdom!
