Salmos 78:10-20

10 No guardaron el pacto de Dios, y rehusaron andar en su ley;
11 olvidaron sus obras, y los milagros que les había mostrado.
12 El hizo maravillas en presencia de sus padres, en la tierra de Egipto, en el campo de Zoán.
13 Dividió el mar y los hizo pasar, y contuvo las aguas como en un montón.
14 Después los guió de día con la nube, y toda la noche con un resplandor de fuego.
15 Partió las rocas en el desierto, y les dio agua tan abundante como las profundidades del océano;
16 hizo salir corrientes de la peña, e hizo descender aguas como ríos.
17 Pero aún siguieron pecando contra El, rebelándose contra el Altísimo en el desierto.
18 Y en sus corazones tentaron a Dios, pidiendo comida a su gusto.
19 Hablaron contra Dios, y dijeron: ¿Podrá Dios preparar mesa en el desierto?
20 He aquí, hirió la roca y brotaron aguas, y torrentes se desbordaron; ¿podrá también dar pan?, ¿proveerá carne para su pueblo?

Salmos 78:10-20 Meaning and Commentary

Maschil of Asaph. Or for "Asaph" {f}; a doctrinal and "instructive" psalm, as the word "Maschil" signifies; see Psalm 32:1, which was delivered to Asaph to be sung; the Targum is, "the understanding of the Holy Spirit by the hands of Asaph." Some think David was the penman of it; but from the latter part of it, in which mention is made of him, and of his government of the people of Israel, it looks as if it was wrote by another, and after his death, though not long after, since the account is carried on no further than his times; and therefore it is probable enough it was written by Asaph, the chief singer, that lived in that age: whoever was the penman of it, it is certain he was a prophet, and so was Asaph, who is called a seer, the same with a prophet, and who is said to prophesy, 2 Chronicles 29:30 and also that he represented Christ; for that the Messiah is the person that is introduced speaking in this psalm is clear from Matthew 13:34 and the whole may be considered as a discourse of his to the Jews of his time; giving them an history of the Israelites from their first coming out of Egypt to the times of David, and in it an account of the various benefits bestowed upon them, of their great ingratitude, and of the divine resentment; the design of which is to admonish and caution them against committing the like sins, lest they should be rejected of God, as their fathers were, and perish: some Jewish writers, as Arama observes, interpret this psalm of the children of Ephraim going out of Egypt before the time appointed.
