Psalms 78:32-40

32In spite of all this, they still sinned; despite his wonders, they did not believe.

33So he made their days vanish like a breath, and their years in terror.

34When he killed them, they sought him; they repented and sought God earnestly.

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

36But they flattered him with their mouths; they lied to him with their tongues.

37Their heart was not steadfast toward him; they were not faithful to his covenant.

38Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often and did not stir up all his wrath.

39He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.

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