Psalms 78:56 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 78:56

54 And He brought them to His ^aholy border,
This mountain ^bwhich His right hand had acquired.

55 ^aHe also drove out the nations before them,
^bAllotted them an inheritance by¹ survey,
And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

56 ^aYet they tested and provoked the Most High God,
And did not keep His testimonies,

57 But ^aturned back and acted unfaithfully like their fathers;
They were turned aside ^blike a deceitful bow.

58 ^aFor they provoked Him to anger with their ^bhigh places,
And moved Him to jealousy with their carved images.

59 When God heard this, He was furious,
And greatly abhorred Israel,

60 ^aSo that He forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh,
The tent He had placed among men,

61 ^aAnd delivered His strength into captivity,
And His glory into the enemy’s hand.

62 ^aHe also gave His people over to the sword,
And was furious with His inheritance.

63 The fire consumed their young men,
And ^atheir maidens were not given in marriage.
