Psalms 78:36-40

But they flattered Him with their mouth And lied to Him with their tongue.

For their heart was not steadfast toward Him, Nor were they faithful with His covenant.

But He, being compassionate, forgave their wrongdoing and did not destroy them; And often He restrained His anger And did not stir up all His wrath.

So He remembered that they were only flesh, A wind that passes and does not return.

How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert!
