Psalm 78:37-39

American Standard Version

³⁷ For their heart was not ^[a]right with him,
Neither were they faithful in his covenant.
³⁸ But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not:
Yea, many a time turned he his anger away,
And did not stir up all his wrath.
³⁹ And he remembered that they were but flesh,
A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
