Psalm 78:38-40

GOD’S WORD Translation

³⁸ But he is compassionate.
He forgave their sin.
He did not destroy them.
He restrained his anger many times.
He did not display all of his fury.
³⁹ He remembered that they were only flesh and blood,
a breeze that blows and does not return.

⁴⁰ How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness!
How often they caused him grief in the desert!
