What Does Psalms 78:43 Mean?
The recount of miracles resumes (it also appeared in verse 12). The focus is on God's 'signs'—acts that had meaning, that communicated something about God—and 'wonders'—acts that exceeded natural explanation. These were not secrets but public demonstrations performed 'in the field of Zoan' where they could be widely witnessed.
By rehearsing these again, the psalmist emphasizes that this is not new information. The people should have remembered. The sheer magnitude and multiplicity of signs should have created an unshakeable foundation of faith. Yet somehow, forgetfulness repeatedly overtook remembrance.
