Psalms 78:31-34

78:31 when the anger of God flared up against them.

He killed some of the strongest of them;

he brought the young men of Israel to their knees.

78:32 Despite all this, they continued to sin,

and did not trust him to do amazing things. ¹ 

78:33 So he caused them to die unsatisfied ² 

and filled with terror. ³ 

78:34 When he struck them down, ⁴  they sought his favor; ⁵ 

they turned back and longed for God.

[78:32]  ¹ tn Heb “and did not believe in his amazing deeds.”

[78:33]  ¹ tn Heb “and he ended in vanity their days.”

[78:33]  ² tn Heb “and their years in terror.”

[78:34]  ¹ tn Or “killed them,” that is, killed large numbers of them.

[78:34]  ² tn Heb “they sought him.”
