Psalms 78:35 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:35

And they remembered that God was their Rock
Who had delivered them out of the hands of their enemies, had strengthened them against them, and supported and protected them, as well as supplied them with all good things, of whom they had been greatly unmindful; but affliction was a means of refreshing their memory; see ( Deuteronomy 32:15 Deuteronomy 32:18 ) ,

and the high God their Redeemer;
who had redeemed them out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, with a high hand and a mighty arm, and thereby showed himself to be the most high God: between this and the following verse the Masorah puts this note,

``half of the book,''

i.e. half of the book of Psalms ends here.

Psalms 78:35 In-Context

33 So he brought their days to an end like a puff of smoke. He ended their years with terror.

34 Every time God killed some of them, the others would look to him. They gladly turned back to him again.

35 They remembered that God was their Rock. They remembered that God Most High had set them free.

36 But they didn't mean it when they praised him. They lied to him when they spoke.

37 Their hearts were not true to him. They weren't faithful to the covenant he had made with them.
