Psalm 78:37-39

Modern English Version

³⁷ for their heart was not devoted to Him,
    neither were they committed to His covenant.
³⁸ But He being full of compassion
    forgave their iniquity
    and did not destroy them.
He constantly restrained His anger,
    and did not stir up all His wrath;
³⁹ for He remembered that they were but flesh,
    like a wind that passes away and does not return.
