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.
