Psalms 78:29 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 78:29

Compare all

27 He also rained meat on them like the dust,
Feathered fowl like the sand of the seas;

28 And He let them fall in the midst of their camp,
All around their dwellings.

29 ^aSo they ate and were well filled,
For He gave them their own desire.

30 They were not¹ deprived of their craving;
But ^awhile their food was still in their mouths,

31 The wrath of God came against them,
And slew the stoutest of them,
And struck down the choice men of Israel.

32 In spite of this ^athey still sinned,
And ^bdid not believe in His wondrous works.

33 ^aTherefore their days He consumed in futility,
And their years in fear.

34 ^aWhen He slew them, then they sought Him;
And they returned and sought earnestly for God.

35 Then they remembered that ^aGod was their rock,
And the Most High God ^btheir Redeemer.

36 Nevertheless they ^aflattered Him with their mouth,
And they lied to Him with their tongue;

37 For their heart was not steadfast with Him,
Nor were they faithful in His covenant.

38 ^aBut He, being full of ^bcompassion, forgave their iniquity,
And did not destroy them.
Yes, many a time ^cHe turned His anger away,
And ^ddid not stir up all His wrath;

39 For ^aHe remembered ^bthat they were but flesh,
^cA breath that passes away and does not come again.

40 How often they ^aprovoked Him in the wilderness,
And grieved Him in the desert!

41 Yes, ^aagain and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.

42 They did not remember His¹ power:
The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,

43 When He worked His signs in Egypt,
And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
