Psalms 78:32-40

32Despite all this, they kept sinning and did not believe his wondrous works.

33He made their days end in futility, their years in sudden disaster.

34When he killed some of them, the rest began to seek him; they repented and searched for God.

35They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their Redeemer.

36But they deceived him with their mouths, they lied to him with their tongues,

37their hearts were insincere toward him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

38Yet he was compassionate; he atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often turned his anger aside and did not unleash all his wrath.

39He remembered that they were only flesh, a wind that passes and does not return.

40How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert.
