Contextual Overview

9 The men of Ephraim had bows for weapons, but they ran away on the day of battle. 10 They didn't keep their agreement with God and refused to live by his teachings. 11 They forgot what he had done and the miracles he had shown them. 12 He did miracles while their ancestors watched, in the fields of Zoan in Egypt. 13 He divided the Red Sea and led them through. He made the water stand up like a wall. 14 He led them with a cloud by day and by the light of a fire by night. 15 He split the rocks in the desert and gave them more than enough water, as if from the deep ocean. 16 He brought streams out of the rock and caused water to flow down like rivers. 17 But the people continued to sin against him; in the desert they turned against God Most High. 18 They decided to test God by asking for the food they wanted.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

For their heart was not right with him,.... Neither prepared and ready to any good work, but reprobate thereunto; nor steady, fixed, and established, as a good man's heart is, trusting in the Lord; but wavering, fickle, and inconstant; nor true, faithful, and upright; but turning aside like a deceitful bow, as is afterwards said, Psalms 78:57,

neither were they steadfast in his covenant; which was made with them at Sinai, though they promised to be obedient, and to do all the Lord said unto them; but this covenant they broke, though he were an husband to them; see Exodus 24:7.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

For their heart was not right with him - Luther renders this, “Not fast with him.” The Hebrew word means “to fit, to prepare;” and the idea is, that the heart was not “adjusted” to such a profession, or did not “accord” with such a promise or pledge. It was a mere profession made by the lips, while the heart remained unaffected. See the notes at Psalms 78:8.

Neither were they stedfast in his covenant - In maintaining his covenant, or in adhering to it. Compare Psalms 25:14; Psalms 44:17. See also Psalms 78:8.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 78:37. Their heart was not right — When the heart is wrong, the life is wrong; and because their heart was not right with God, therefore they were not faithful in his covenant.
