PSALMS 78:38-44

³⁸But 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.

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, that they could not drink.
