Wesley's Notes for Psalms 78:58


78:57 Deceitful bow - Which either breaks when it is drawn, or shoots awry, and frustrates the archer's expectation.

78:59 Heard - Perceived or understood, it is spoken of God after the manner of men.

78:60 Shiloh - Which was placed in Shiloh. Among men - Whereby he insinuates both God's wonderful condescension, and their stupendous folly in despising so glorious a privilege.
