Psalms 78:29-37 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

29. They ate and were completely satisfied,for He gave them what they craved.

30. Before they had satisfied their desire,while the food was still in their mouths,

31. God’s anger flared up against them,and He killed some of their best men.He struck down Israel’s choice young men.

32. Despite all this, they kept sinningand did not believe His wonderful works.

33. He made their days end in futility,their years in sudden disaster.

34. When He killed some of them,the rest began to seek Him;they repented and searched for God.

35. They remembered that God was their rock,the Most High God, their Redeemer.

36. But they deceived Him with their mouths,they lied to Him with their tongues,

37. their hearts were insincere toward Him,and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
