Context of Psalms 78:30
28He caused them to fall right in the middle of their camp, all around their homes. 29They ate until they were stuffed; he gave them what they desired. They were not yet filled up, their food was still in their mouths, 31when 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. 32Despite all this, they continued to sin, and did not trust him to do amazing things.
