Presbyterian
SCRIPTURE

"But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert." — Psalms 106:14 (ASV)

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness - Margin, as in Hebrew, "lusted a lust." The reference is to their desire of better food than the manna.

And tempted God in the desert - Tried God, whether he "could" provide for them food and drink (Psalms 78:19–20).
