Tehillim 78:56 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 78:56

Yet they tempted and provoked the most high God
After the death of Joshua, and in the times of the judges, by worshipping and serving the gods of the nations, and forsaking the Lord their God, who had done such great things for them, ( Judges 2:11-14 ) ,

and kept not his testimonies;
the laws of God, which testified and declared his mind and will; nor observed his word and ordinances, which testified of his grace, and of the way of salvation by Jesus Christ.

Tehillim 78:56 In-Context

54 And He brought them to His gevul kadosh (His holy border), even to this Har, which His Yamin had purchased.

55 He cast out the Goyim also before them, and divided by measure a nachalah for them, and made the Shivtei Yisroel to dwell in their ohalim.

56 Yet they tested and provoked Elohim Elyon, and were not shomer over His edot;

57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their avot; they turned like a treacherous keshet.

58 For they provoked Him to anger with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their pesilim.
