Psalms 78:37 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 78:37

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;

44 ^aTurned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, that they could not drink.
