Psalm 78:37-39

International Standard Version

³⁷ For their hearts weren’t committed to him,
    and they weren’t faithful to his covenant.
³⁸ But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity
    and didn’t destroy them;
He restrained his anger
    and didn’t vent all his wrath.
³⁹ For he remembered that they were only flesh,
    a passing wind that doesn’t return.
