Psalms 78:32-42
-
32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
-
33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
-
34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
-
35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
-
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
-
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
-
38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
-
39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
-
40 How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
-
41 Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
-
42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy.
