Psalms 78:38-40

³⁸But 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.

³⁹He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.

⁴⁰How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!
