Psalms 104:16

And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.

And. The psalmist continues to mention the favours of God, till the Israelites entered the promised land, which the author of 1 Paralipomenon xvi., passes over. (Haydock) --- Bread. In time of famine, people are not strengthened with their food. (Eusebius) (Ezechiel 4:16., and 5:16.) --- God permitted, (Worthington) or caused the famine to rage.
