Psalms 78:39 in Context — Psalms 78

37 Pues sus corazones no eran rectos con él, ni estuvieron firmes en su pacto.

38 Empero él misericordioso, perdonaba la maldad, y no [los] destruía: y abundó para apartar su ira, y no despertó todo su enojo.

39 Y acordóse que eran carne; soplo que va y no vuelve.

40 ¡Cuántas veces lo ensañaron en el desierto, lo enojaron en la soledad!

41 Y volvían, y tentaban á Dios, y ponían límite al Santo de Israel.
