Psalm 78:32-44

English Standard Version

³² In spite of all this, they ^(A)still sinned;
    ^(B)despite his wonders, they did not believe.
³³ So he made ^(C)their days ^(D)vanish like^[a] a breath,^[b]
    and their years in terror.
³⁴ When he killed them, they ^(E)sought him;
    they repented and sought God earnestly.
³⁵ They remembered that God was their ^(F)rock,
    the Most High God their ^(G)redeemer.
³⁶ But they ^(H)flattered him with their mouths;
    they ^(I)lied to him with their tongues.
³⁷ Their ^(J)heart was not ^(K)steadfast toward him;
    they were not faithful to his covenant.
³⁸ Yet he, being ^(L)compassionate,
    ^(M)atoned for their iniquity
    and did not destroy them;
he restrained his anger often
    and did not stir up all his wrath.
³⁹ He ^(N)remembered that they were but ^(O)flesh,
    ^(P)a wind that passes and comes not again.
⁴⁰ How often they ^(Q)rebelled against him in the wilderness
    and ^(R)grieved him in ^(S)the desert!
⁴¹ They ^(T)tested God again and again
    and provoked ^(U)the Holy One of Israel.
⁴² They ^(V)did not remember his power^[c]
    or the day when he redeemed them from the foe,
^43 (W)when he performed his ^(X)signs in Egypt
    and his ^(Y)marvels in ^(Z)the fields of Zoan.
⁴⁴ He ^(AA)turned their rivers to blood,
    so that they could not drink of their streams.
