Psalm 78:32-39

International Standard Version

³² In spite of all of this, they kept on sinning
    and didn’t believe in his marvelous deeds.
³³ So he made their days end in futility,
    and their years with sudden terror.
³⁴ When he struck them, they sought him;
    they repented, and eagerly sought God.
³⁵ Then they remembered that God was their rock,
    and the Most High God was their deliverer.
³⁶ But they deceived him with their mouths;
    they lied to him with their tongues.
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.
