Psalms 78:32-40

32In spite of all this they 1still sinned And 2did not believe in His wonderful works.33So He brought 3their days to an end in 4futility And their years in sudden terror.

34When He killed them, then they 5sought Him, And returned and searched 6diligently for God;35And they remembered that God was their 7rock, And the Most High God their 8Redeemer.36But they 9deceived Him with their mouth And 10lied to Him with their tongue.37For their heart was not 11steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful in His covenant.38But He, being 12compassionate, 13 14forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; And often He 15 16restrained His anger And did not arouse all His wrath.39Thus 17He remembered that they were but 18flesh, A 19 20wind that passes and does not return.

40How often they 21rebelled against Him in the wilderness And 22grieved Him in the 23desert!
