Psalm 78:34-39
New International Version
34 Whenever God slew them, they would seek(A) him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
35 They remembered that God was their Rock,(B)
that God Most High was their Redeemer.(C)
36 But then they would flatter him with their mouths,(D)
lying to him with their tongues;
37 their hearts were not loyal(E) to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38 Yet he was merciful;(F)
he forgave(G) their iniquities(H)
and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger(I)
and did not stir up his full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh,(J)
a passing breeze(K) that does not return.
Psalm 78:34-39
King James Version
34 When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
35 And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38 But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39 For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
