Salmene 78,39

Mercy and compassionDeath and lossIdentity and self-worth

37 For deres hjerter var ikke standhaftige mot Ham,
Og de var ikke trofaste mot Hans pakt.

38 Men Han, som er barmhjertig, tilga deres misgjerning og ødela dem ikke;
Og ofte holdt Han tilbake sin vrede
Og lot ikke all sin harme bryte løs.

Så Han husket at de var bare kjød,
En forbigående vind som ikke vender tilbake.

40 Hvor ofte gjorde de opprør mot Ham i ørkenen,
Og bedrøvet Ham i ødemarken!

41 Gang på gang fristet de Gud,
Og plaget Israels Hellige.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
