Psalms 78:43

But they provoked him with their counsel; in asking a king, whom he gave in his anger, and took away in his wrath, (<281311>Hosea 13:11), and with their idolatries which they devised, setting up the calves at Dan and Bethel; and by taking counsel of others, and not of the Lord; seeking for help from the Assyrians and Egyptians, and trusting in them, (<233001>Isaiah 30:1,2), all which was very provoking, and showed great ingratitude, after so many deliverances: or, “though they provoked him with their counsels” f1533; with their inventions, as in (<19A629>Psalm 106:29),…”

“How he had wrought his signs in Egypt - Margin, set. The Hebrew word means to set or place. The word signs here refers to miracles as signs or indications of God’s power and favor. The things which he did were of such a nature as to show that he was almighty, and at the same time to assure them of his disposition to protect them. And his wonders in the field of Zoan - The wonderful things which he did; the things suited to excite amazement, or astonishment.
