Context of Psalms 78:35
33And he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror. 34When he slew them, then they sought him, and returned and sought early after God; And they remembered that God was their rock, and God, the Most High, their redeemer. 36But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied unto him with their tongue; 37For their heart was not firm toward him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
