Psalms 78:34

32 In spite of all this, they kept on sinning; despite His wonderful works, they did not believe.

33 So He ended their days in futility, and their years in sudden terror.

When He slew them, they would seek Him; they repented and searched for God.

35 And they remembered that God was their Rock, that God Most High was their Redeemer.

36 But they deceived Him with their mouths, and lied to Him with their tongues.
