Psalm 78:37-39

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³⁷ Their heart was not steadfast toward him;
    they were not true to his covenant.
³⁸ Yet he, being compassionate,
    forgave their iniquity
    and did not destroy them;
often he restrained his anger
    and did not stir up all his wrath.^(A)
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,
    a wind that passes and does not come again.^(B)
