36 Nevertheless they (A)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 (B)But He, being full of (C)compassion, forgave their iniquity,
And did not destroy them.
Yes, many a time (D)He turned His anger away,
And (E)did not stir up all His wrath;
39 For (F)He remembered (G)that they were but flesh,
(H)A breath that passes away and does not come again.

40 How often they (I)provoked[a] Him in the wilderness,
And grieved Him in the desert!
41 Yes, (J)again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.
