Psalm 78:32-48

New King James Version

³² In spite of this ^(A)they still sinned,
And ^(B)did not believe in His wondrous works.
^33 (C)Therefore their days He consumed in futility,
And their years in fear.

^34 (D)When He slew them, then they sought Him;
And they returned and sought earnestly for God.
³⁵ Then they remembered that ^(E)God was their rock,
And the Most High God ^(F)their Redeemer.
³⁶ Nevertheless they ^(G)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 (H)But He, being full of ^(I)compassion, forgave their iniquity,
And did not destroy them.
Yes, many a time ^(J)He turned His anger away,
And ^(K)did not stir up all His wrath;
³⁹ For ^(L)He remembered ^(M)that they were but flesh,
^(N)A breath that passes away and does not come again.

⁴⁰ How often they ^(O)provoked^[a] Him in the wilderness,
And grieved Him in the desert!
⁴¹ Yes, ^(P)again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.
⁴² They did not remember His ^[b]power:
The day when He redeemed them from the enemy,
⁴³ When He worked His signs in Egypt,
And His wonders in the field of Zoan;
^44 (Q)Turned their rivers into blood,
And their streams, that they could not drink.
^45 (R)He sent swarms of flies among them, which devoured them,
And ^(S)frogs, which destroyed them.
⁴⁶ He also gave their crops to the caterpillar,
And their labor to the ^(T)locust.
^47 (U)He destroyed their vines with hail,
And their sycamore trees with frost.
⁴⁸ He also gave up their ^(V)cattle to the hail,
And their flocks to fiery ^[c]lightning.
