Psalms 78:37

When he killed them, then they inquired after him.

They returned and sought God earnestly.

They remembered that God was their rock,

the Most High God, their redeemer.

But they flattered him with their mouth,

and lied to him with their tongue.

But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them.

Yes, many times he turned his anger away,

and didn’t stir up all his wrath.

He remembered that they were but flesh,

a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.

How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness,

and grieved him in the desert!
