35 Then they remembered that ^aGod was their rock,
And the Most High God ^btheir Redeemer. ‡

36 Nevertheless they ^aflattered Him with their mouth,
And they lied to Him with their tongue; ‡

38 ^aBut He, being full of ^bcompassion, forgave their iniquity,
And did not destroy them.
Yes, many a time ^cHe turned His anger away,
And ^ddid not stir up all His wrath; ‡

39 For ^aHe remembered ^bthat they were but flesh,
^cA breath that passes away and does not come again. ‡
