Psalm 78:36-38

International Standard Version

³⁶ But they deceived him with their mouths;
    they lied to him with their tongues.
³⁷ For their hearts weren’t committed to him,
    and they weren’t faithful to his covenant.
³⁸ But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity
    and didn’t destroy them;
He restrained his anger
    and didn’t vent all his wrath.
