Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 17. - And they sinned yet more against him by provoking the Most High in the wilderness. The two provocations of a demand for bread (Exodus 16:3) and a demand for flesh (Numbers 11:4) are joined together in the present passage, as the two occasions of giving water are in vers. 15, 16. Only the second of these two provocations was subsequent to the (first) giving of water; but the psalmist does not allow himself to be bound by considerations of strict chronological accuracy. He is a poet, and not an historian; though at present he is treating of history.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(17) They sinned yet more and more.--This implies the discontent which had already shown itself before the miraculous supply of water.
