Psalms 78:37-43

³⁷For their hearts were not true to him, Nor were they steadfast in his covenant.

³⁸Yet, being full of compassion, he forgave their iniquity, And would not utterly destroy them; Often he restrained his indignation, And stirred not up all his anger.

³⁹He remembered that they were but flesh,—A breath, that passeth and cometh not back.

⁴⁰How often did they provoke him in the wilderness! How often did they anger him in the desert!

⁴¹Again and again they tempted God, And offended the Holy One of Israel.

⁴²They remembered not his hand, Nor the day when he delivered them from the enemy;

⁴³What signs he had wrought in Egypt, And what wonders in the fields of Zoan.
