Psalms 78:36-46

³⁶But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue.

³⁷For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.

³⁸But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath.

³⁹And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

⁴⁰How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!

⁴¹And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

⁴²They remembered not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

⁴³How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

⁴⁴And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.

⁴⁵He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.

⁴⁶He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust.
