Humans Can Be Fickle

▪︎ Ps 78:34-36, 37-38, 39-40; 41-43;
   (full text – Ps_78:34-43
      34When He killed them, then they sought Him,
            And returned and searched diligently for God;
      35And they remembered that God was their rock,
            And the Most High God their Redeemer.
      36But they deceived Him with their mouth
            And lied to Him with their tongue.
      37For their heart was not steadfast toward Him,
            Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
      38But He, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them;
            And often He restrained His anger
            And did not arouse all His wrath.
      39Thus He remembered that they were but flesh,
            A wind that passes and does not return.
      40How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness
            And grieved Him in the desert!
      41Again and again they tempted God,
            And pained the Holy One of Israel.
      42They did not remember His power,
            The day when He redeemed them from the adversary,
      43When He performed His signs in Egypt
            And His marvels in the field of Zoan,
