Psalm 78:36-38

Modern English Version

³⁶ Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouth,
    and they lied to Him with their tongues;
³⁷ for their heart was not devoted to Him,
    neither were they committed to His covenant.
³⁸ But He being full of compassion
    forgave their iniquity
    and did not destroy them.
He constantly restrained His anger,
    and did not stir up all His wrath;
