Contradiction with Matthew 7:11
This verse highlights God's willingness to give good things to those who ask Him, contradicting the idea of tempting God by doubt and distrust as seen in Psalms 78:18.
Matthew 7:11: If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Contradiction with James 1:5
This verse encourages believers to seek wisdom from God, who gives generously, contrasting the tempting and testing attitude towards God in Psalms 78:18.

Contradiction with Proverbs 3:5-6

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Contradiction with Philippians 4:19
This verse assures that God will supply every need, contrasting with the Israelites tempting God by questioning His ability and provision in Psalms 78:18.
Philippians 4:19: But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Contradiction with John 14:13-14
These verses assure believers of receiving whatever they ask in Jesus' name, which contrasts with the doubt and temptation towards God found in Psalms 78:18.

Paradox #1
Psalms 78:18 speaks about people testing God by demanding food they craved. The moral conflict here could be about human ingratitude and lack of faith—despite having their needs met, they still doubted and wanted more. This shows a conflict between trust and doubt, gratitude and greed.
