Psalm 78:39-41

The Voice

³⁹ He was mindful that they were human, frail and fleeting,
    like a wind that touches one’s skin for a moment, then vanishes.
⁴⁰ Oh, how often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness
    and frustrated Him during their time in the desert!
⁴¹ Over and over again, they tested God’s patience
    and caused great pain for Israel’s Holy One.
