Psalms95:10

10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation , and said, It is a people that do err in their hearts : and they have not known my ways .

Or rather, with that generation which then lived, who were your Ancestors.

They do not onely sin through infirmity and the violence and surprizal of temptations, but their hearts are unsincere and inconstant, and given to backsliding, and therefore there is no hopes of their amendment. Compare Psal. 78. 8.

Or, they do not know, to wit, with a practical and useful knowledge, as that word commonly notes in Scripture. They did not rightly understand nor duly consider, nor seriously lay to heart. They remain ignorant after all my teachings and discoveries of my self to them.

Either 1. my laws or statutes, which are frequently called Gods ways. Or rather 2. my works, as it is expressed, v. 9. which also are commonly so called. They did not know, nor consider and remember, those great things which I had wrought for them and among them.
