Verse 36-38. See Psalms on "Psalms 78:36" for further information.
Verse 37. Their heart was not right with him. God pleases them when he replenishes themselves with food, not their heart with his graces; therefore they repay him with the mouth, and not with the heart. They are altogether mouth and tongue: but God is all heart and breast. They give words; God gives milk and perfect love. Love does not reach the inner nature of many men, it sticks in the entrance. Thomas Le Blanc.
Verse 37. Their heart was not right with him, neither were they steadfast, etc. This is the ever repeated complain, see Psalms 78:8 Psalms 78:22 . There is no permanence, no stability in the reformation which has been produced. Compare Hosea 6:4 . J. J. Stewart Perowne.
