The King James Version Bible

Psalms 78:38-40

  1. 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.

  2. For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

  3. How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
