Psalms 78 — Context

But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them; And often He restrained His anger And did not arouse all His wrath.

Thus He remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passes and does not return.

How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness And grieved Him in the desert!

Again and again they tempted God, And pained the Holy One of Israel.

They did not remember His power, The day when He redeemed them from the adversary,

When He performed His signs in Egypt And His marvels in the field of Zoan,

And turned their rivers to blood, And their streams, they could not drink.
