Psalm 78:18 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:18

And they tempted God in their heart
Which is desperately wicked, and from whence all impiety flows; they entertained hard thoughts of God; they inwardly fretted at their present circumstances, and secretly repined and murmured against God, and wished for things they should not; not being contented with what they had, and thankful for them, as they ought to have been:

by asking meat for their lust;
or, "for their soul"; such as their souls lusted after, and their sensitive appetites craved; for they were not satisfied with the bread they had, which was sufficient for their sustenance and support; they wanted food for pleasure and wantonness; to ask for daily bread is right, but to ask for more to consume on our lusts is wrong, ( James 4:3 ) .

Psalm 78:18 In-Context

16 da pedra fez sair regatose fluir água como um rio.

17 Mas contra ele continuaram a pecar,revoltando-se no deserto contra o Altíssimo.

18 Deliberadamente puseram Deus à prova,exigindo o que desejavam comer.

19 Duvidaram de Deus, dizendo:“Poderá Deus preparar uma mesa no deserto?

20 Sabemos que, quando ele feriu a rocha,a água brotou e jorrou em torrentes.Mas conseguirá também dar-nos de comer?Poderá suprir de carne o seu povo?”
