Context of Psalms 78:32
30They 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. Despite all this, they continued to sin, and did not trust him to do amazing things. 33So he caused them to die unsatisfied and filled with terror. 34When he struck them down, they sought his favor; they turned back and longed for God.

And believed not for his wondrous works - They did not trust in His wondrous works; or, those works did not have the effect of producing faith. See Psalm 78:22-23. The same thing occurred in the life of the Saviour. John 12:37.Read the comment
