Salmos 78:34 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:34

When he slew them
Some of them, the spies particularly; or when he threatened to slay them, or was about to do it:

then they sought him;
that is, those who either survived the slain, or were threatened with destruction; these sought the Lord by prayer and supplication, that he would not destroy them; the Targum is,

``they repented and sought him;''

see ( Numbers 14:37 Numbers 14:39 Numbers 14:40 ) ,

and they returned;
from their evil ways, and by repentance, at least in show and appearance:

and inquired early after God;
but not earnestly, and with their whole hearts and spirits; the Targum is,

``they prayed before God;''

which is often done, by carnal professors, in trouble; see ( Isaiah 26:16 ) ( Hosea 5:15 ) .

Salmos 78:34 In-Context

32 A pesar de todo esto, todavía pecaron y no creyeron en sus maravillas.

33 El, pues, hizo terminar sus días en vanidad, y sus años en terror súbito.

34 Cuando los hería de muerte, entonces le buscaban, y se volvían y buscaban con diligencia a Dios;

35 se acordaban de que Dios era su roca, y el Dios Altísimo su Redentor.

36 Mas con su boca le engañaban, y con su lengua le mentían.
