Psalms 78:38 in Context — Psalms 78
36 Mais ils le trompaient de la bouche, Et ils lui mentaient de la langue;
37 Leur cœur n’était pas ferme envers lui, Et ils n’étaient pas fidèles à son alliance.
38 Toutefois, dans sa miséricorde, il pardonne l’iniquité et ne détruit pas; Il retient souvent sa colère et ne se livre pas à toute sa fureur.
39 Il se souvint qu’ils n’étaient que chair, Un souffle qui s’en va et ne revient pas.
40 Que de fois ils se révoltèrent contre lui dans le désert! Que de fois ils l’irritèrent dans la solitude!
