Psalm 78:39-41
New Catholic Bible
39 For he remembered that they were flesh,
like a breath of wind that does not return.
40 [a]How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness
and pained him in the wasteland.
41 Again and again they tested God’s patience,
provoking the Holy One of Israel.[b]

Nonetheless, the Lord went on to lead them to the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land.
- Psalm 78:41 Holy One of Israel: see note on Ps 71:22.
