Psalm 78:37-39
New American Standard Bible
37 For their heart was not (A)steadfast toward Him,
Nor were they faithful with His covenant.
38 But He, being (B)compassionate, [a](C)forgave their wrongdoing and did not destroy them;
And often He [b](D)restrained His anger
And did not stir up all His wrath.
39 So (E)He remembered that they were only (F)flesh,
A [c](G)wind that passes and does not return.

Psalm 78:37-39
Lexham English Bible
37 For their heart was not steadfast with him,
nor were they faithful to his covenant.
38 But he was compassionate; he pardoned[a] their guilt
and did not destroy them.
And many times he turned back his anger
and did not stir up all his wrath,
39 for he remembered that they were flesh,
a passing wind that does not return.
