Psalm 78:32-39
New American Standard Bible
32 In spite of all this they (A)still sinned
And (B)did not believe in His wonderful works.
33 So He brought (C)their days to an end in futility,
And their years to an end in sudden terror.
34 When He killed them, then they (D)sought Him,
And they returned and searched (E)diligently for God;
35 And they remembered that God was their (F)rock,
And the Most High God their (G)Redeemer.
36 But they (H)flattered Him with their mouth
And (I)lied to Him with their tongue.
37 For their heart was not (J)steadfast toward Him,
Nor were they faithful with His covenant.
38 But He, being (K)compassionate, [a](L)forgave their wrongdoing and did not destroy them;
And often He [b](M)restrained His anger
And did not stir up all His wrath.
39 So (N)He remembered that they were only (O)flesh,
A [c](P)wind that passes and does not return.

Psalm 78:32-39
New International Version
32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;(A)
in spite of his wonders,(B) they did not believe.(C)
33 So he ended their days in futility(D)
and their years in terror.
34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek(E) him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock,(F)
that God Most High was their Redeemer.(G)
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,(H)
lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal(I) to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he was merciful;(J)
he forgave(K) their iniquities(L)
and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger(M)
and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,(N)
a passing breeze(O) that does not return.
