Psalm 78:36-38

International Children’s Bible

³⁶ But their words were false.
    Their tongues lied to him.
³⁷ Their hearts were not really loyal to God.
    They did not keep his agreement.
³⁸ Still God was merciful.
    He forgave their sins.
    He did not destroy them.
Many times he held back his anger.
    He did not stir up all his anger.
