Psalm 78:38-40

Darby Translation

³⁸ But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed [them] not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury:

³⁹ And he remembered that they were flesh, a breath that passeth away and cometh not again.

⁴⁰ How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
