Psalm 78:37-39

International Children’s Bible

³⁷ Their hearts were not really loyal to God.
    They did not keep his agreement.
³⁸ Still God was merciful.
    He forgave their sins.
    He did not destroy them.
Many times he held back his anger.
    He did not stir up all his anger.
³⁹ He remembered that they were only human.
    They were like a wind that blows and does not come back.
