Psalms 78:32-40

32Despite all this, they continued to sin, and did not trust him to do amazing things.

33So he caused them to die unsatisfied and filled with terror.

34When he struck them down, they sought his favor; they turned back and longed for God.

35They remembered that God was their protector, and that the sovereign God was their deliverer.

36But they deceived him with their words, and lied to him.

37They were not really committed to him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

38Yet he is compassionate. He forgives sin and does not destroy. He often holds back his anger, and does not stir up his fury.

39He remembered that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return.

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