Psalms 78:12-14

_ _ A record of God’s dealings and the sins of the people is now made. The writer gives the history from the exode to the retreat from Kadesh; then contrasts their sins with their reasons for confidence, shown by a detail of God’s dealings in Egypt, and presents a summary of the subsequent history to David’s time.

_ _ Zoan — for Egypt, as its ancient capital (Numbers 13:22; Isaiah 19:11).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 78:9-39.
