Listen to Psalm 78:57

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 Y echó las gentes de delante de ellos, Y repartióles una herencia con cuerdas; E hizo habitar en sus moradas á las tribus de Israel.
56 Mas tentaron y enojaron al Dios Altísimo, Y no guardaron sus testimonios;
57 Sino que se volvieron, y se rebelaron como sus padres: Volviéronse como arco engañoso.
58 Y enojáronlo con sus altos, Y provocáronlo á celo con sus esculturas.
59 Oyólo Dios, y enojóse, Y en gran manera aborreció á Israel.
