Psalm 78:57 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:57

But turned back
From God and his worship, apostatized from the true religion, and turned to idols:

and dealt unfaithfully, like their fathers;
in the wilderness; see ( Psalms 78:8 Psalms 78:36 Psalms 78:37 ) ,

they were turned aside like a deceitful bow;
that promises well to carry the arrow right, but drops it at the feet of the archer; or carries it another way, so that it misses the mark, The Targum is,

``as a bow casting arrows;''

to the ground, and not to the mark; see ( Hosea 7:16 ) , or being too much stretched is suddenly broken, and kills the archer; or returns to its own nature; so Arama.

Psalm 78:57 In-Context

55 Ed aveva scacciate le nazioni d’innanzi a loro, E le aveva fatte loro scadere in sorte di eredità, Ed aveva stanziate le tribù d’Israele nelle loro stanze.
56 Ed avevano tentato, e provocato a sdegno l’Iddio altissimo, E non avevano osservate le sue testimonianze.
57 Anzi si erano tratti indietro, E si erano portati dislealmente, Come i lor padri; E si erano rivolti come un arco fallace;
58 E l’avevano provocato ad ira co’ loro alti luoghi, E commosso a gelosia colle loro sculture.
59 Iddio aveva udite queste cose, e se n’era gravemente adirato, Ed aveva grandemente disdegnato Israele.
