34 (A)When He slew them, then they sought Him;
And they returned and sought earnestly for God.
35 Then they remembered that (B)God was their rock,
And the Most High God (C)their Redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they (D)flattered Him with their mouth,
And they lied to Him with their tongue;
37 For their heart was not steadfast with Him,
Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
38 (E)But He, being full of (F)compassion, forgave their iniquity,
And did not destroy them.
Yes, many a time (G)He turned His anger away,
And (H)did not stir up all His wrath;
39 For (I)He remembered (J)that they were but flesh,
(K)A breath that passes away and does not come again.

34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek(A) him;
    they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock,(B)
    that God Most High was their Redeemer.(C)
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,(D)
    lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal(E) to him,
    they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he was merciful;(F)
    he forgave(G) their iniquities(H)
    and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger(I)
    and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,(J)
    a passing breeze(K) that does not return.
