Psalms 78:40 in Context — Psalms 78

38 Porém ele, sendo misericordioso, perdoava a maldade deles, e não os destruía; e muitas vezes desviou de mostrar sua ira, e não despertou todo o seu furor;

39 [Porque] se lembrou de que eles eram carne, e [como] o vento, que vai, e não volta mais.

40 Quantas vezes o provocaram no deserto, e o maltrataram na terra desabitada!

41 Pois voltavam a tentar a Deus, e perturbavam ao Santo de Israel.

42 Não se lembraram de sua mão, [nem] do dia em que os livrou do adversário.
