Psalms 78:37-40
-
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!
