Psalms 78 — Context

Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.

But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.

They made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.

When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

So that he went away from the holy place in Shiloh, the tent which he had put among men;

And he let his strength be taken prisoner, and gave his glory into the hands of his hater.
