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 futility, And their years to an end in sudden terror.

34When He killed them, then they 4sought Him, And they returned and searched 5diligently for God;35And they remembered that God was their 6rock, And the Most High God their 7Redeemer.36But they 8flattered Him with their mouth And 9lied to Him with their tongue.37For their heart was not 10steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful with His covenant.38But He, being 11compassionate, 12 13forgave their wrongdoing and did not destroy them; And often He 14 15restrained His anger And did not stir up all His wrath.39So 16He remembered that they were only 17flesh, A 18 19wind that passes and does not return.

40How often they 20rebelled against Him in the wilderness And 21grieved Him in the 22desert!
