SEV Biblia, Chapter 78:18

Y tentaron a Dios en su corazón, pidiendo comida al gusto de su alma.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 77:18

Verse 18. By asking meat for their lust. ] µpnl lenaphsham, "for their souls," i.e., for their lives; for they said in their hearts that the light bread, the manna, was not sufficient to sustain their natural force, and preserve their lives. It seems, however, from the expression, that they were wholly carnal; that they had no spirituality of mind; they were earthly, animal, and devilish.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 9-39 - Sin dispirits men, and takes away the heart. Forgetfulness of God' works is the cause of disobedience to his laws. This narrative relate a struggle between God's goodness and man's badness. The Lord hears all our murmurings and distrusts, and is much displeased. Those that wil not believe the power of God's mercy, shall feel the fire of his indignation. Those cannot be said to trust in God's salvation as their happiness at last, who can not trust his providence in the way to it To all that by faith and prayer, ask, seek, and knock, these doors of heaven shall at any time be opened; and our distrust of God is a grea aggravation of our sins. He expressed his resentment of their provocation; not in denying what they sinfully lusted after, but in granting it to them. Lust is contented with nothing. Those that indulg their lust, will never be estranged from it. Those hearts are har indeed, that will neither be melted by the mercies of the Lord, no broken by his judgments. Those that sin still, must expect to be in trouble still. And the reason why we live with so little comfort, an to so little purpose, is, because we do not live by faith. Under thes rebukes they professed repentance, but they were not sincere, for the were not constant. In Israel's history we have a picture of our ow hearts and lives. God's patience, and warnings, and mercies, imbolde them to harden their hearts against his word. And the history of kingdoms is much the same. Judgments and mercies have been littl attended to, until the measure of their sins has been full. And highe advantages have not kept churches from declining from the commandment of God. Even true believers recollect, that for many a year they abuse the kindness of Providence. When they come to heaven, how will the admire the Lord's patience and mercy in bringing them to his kingdom!
