Verse 16 is found in chapter 78 of Psalms. Psalm 78 is an extensive historical and wisdom poem recounting Israel’s unfaithfulness and God’s patience. Its explicit purpose is to transmit divine works to future generations so they will not forget his commandments. The psalm recalls rebellion in the wilderness, unbelief, idolatry, and failure, but also divine compassion. The choice of David as shepherd at the end connects the history of the people with the responsibility of faithful leadership.

und ließ Bäche aus den Felsen fließen, daß sie hinabflossen wie Wasserströme.
Pues sacó de la peña corrientes, E hizo descender aguas como ríos.
Hizo brotar corrientes de la peña y bajar las aguas como ríos.
Du rocher il fit jaillir des sources, Et couler des eaux comme des fleuves.
Ed aveva fatto uscir de’ ruscelli della roccia, E colare acque, a guisa di fiumi.
Fez sair fontes da rocha, e fez correr as águas como rios.
他使水從磐石湧出, 叫水如江河下流。
