Psalms 78:31-41
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 78
31
The anger of God rose against them
And killed some of their strongest ones,
And subdued the choice men of Israel.
32
In spite of all this they still sinned
And did not believe in His wonderful works.
33
So He brought their days to an end in futility,
And their years
to an end
in sudden terror.
34
When He killed them, then they sought Him,
And they returned and searched diligently for God;
35
And they remembered that God was their rock,
And the Most High God their Redeemer.
36
But they flattered Him with their mouth
And lied to Him with their tongue.
37
For their heart was not steadfast toward Him,
Nor were they faithful with His covenant.
38
But He, being compassionate, forgave
their
wrongdoing and did not destroy
them;
And often He restrained His anger
And did not stir up all His wrath.
39
So He remembered that they were
only
flesh,
A wind that passes and does not return.
40
How often they rebelled against Him in the wilderness
And grieved Him in the desert!
41
Again and again they tempted God,
And pained the Holy One of Israel.
King James Version
Chapter 78
31
The wrath of God came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.
32
For all this they sinned still, and believed not for his wondrous works.
33
Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34
When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned and enquired early after God.
35
And they remembered that God was their rock, and the high God their redeemer.
36
Nevertheless they did flatter him with their mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues.
37
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.
38
But he, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yea, many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his wrath.
39
For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.
40
How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!
41
Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 78
31
God’s anger flared up against them,
and he killed some of their best men.
He struck down Israel’s fit young men.
32
Despite all this, they kept sinning
and did not believe his wondrous works.
33
He made their days end in futility,
their years in sudden disaster.
34
When he killed some of them,
the rest began to seek him;
they repented and searched for God.
35
They remembered that God was their rock,
the Most High God, their Redeemer.
36
But they deceived him with their mouths,
they lied to him with their tongues,
37
their hearts were insincere toward him,
and they were unfaithful to his covenant.
38
Yet he was compassionate;
he atoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them.
He often turned his anger aside
and did not unleash all his wrath.
39
He remembered that they were only flesh,
a wind that passes and does not return.
40
How often they rebelled against him
in the wilderness
and grieved him in the desert.
41
They constantly tested God
and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
New Living Translation
Chapter 78
31
the anger of God rose against them,
and he killed their strongest men.
He struck down the finest of Israel’s young men.
32
But in spite of this, the people kept sinning.
Despite his wonders, they refused to trust him.
33
So he ended their lives in failure,
their years in terror.
34
When God began killing them,
they finally sought him.
They repented and took God seriously.
35
Then they remembered that God was their rock,
that God Most High was their redeemer.
36
But all they gave him was lip service;
they lied to him with their tongues.
37
Their hearts were not loyal to him.
They did not keep his covenant.
38
Yet he was merciful and forgave their sins
and did not destroy them all.
Many times he held back his anger
and did not unleash his fury!
39
For he remembered that they were merely mortal,
gone like a breath of wind that never returns.
40
Oh, how often they rebelled against him in the wilderness
and grieved his heart in that dry wasteland.
41
Again and again they tested God’s patience
and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
English Standard Version
Chapter 78
31
the anger of God rose against them,
and he killed the strongest of them
and laid low the young men of Israel.
32
In spite of all this, they still sinned;
despite his wonders, they did not believe.
33
So he made their days vanish like a breath,
and their years in terror.
34
When he killed them, they sought him;
they repented and sought God earnestly.
35
They remembered that God was their rock,
the Most High God their redeemer.
36
But they flattered him with their mouths;
they lied to him with their tongues.
37
Their heart was not steadfast toward him;
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38
Yet he, being compassionate,
atoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them;
he restrained his anger often
and did not stir up all his wrath.
39
He remembered that they were but flesh,
a wind that passes and comes not again.
40
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness
and grieved him in the desert!
41
They tested God again and again
and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
New International Version
Chapter 78
31
God’s anger rose against them;
he put to death the sturdiest among them,
cutting down the young men of Israel.
32
In spite of all this, they kept on sinning;
in spite of his wonders, they did not believe.
33
So he ended their days in futility
and their years in terror.
34
Whenever God slew them, they would seek him;
they eagerly turned to him again.
35
They remembered that God was their Rock,
that God Most High was their Redeemer.
36
But then they would flatter him with their mouths,
lying to him with their tongues;
37
their hearts were not loyal to him,
they were not faithful to his covenant.
38
Yet he was merciful;
he forgave their iniquities
and did not destroy them.
Time after time he restrained his anger
and did not stir up his full wrath.
39
He remembered that they were but flesh,
a passing breeze that does not return.
40
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness
and grieved him in the wasteland!
41
Again and again they put God to the test;
they vexed the Holy One of Israel.
New King James Version
Chapter 78
31
The wrath of God came against them,
And slew the stoutest of them,
And struck down the choice
men
of Israel.
32
In spite of this they still sinned,
And did not believe in His wondrous works.
33
Therefore their days He consumed in futility,
And their years in fear.
34
When He slew them, then they sought Him;
And they returned and sought earnestly for God.
35
Then they remembered that God
was
their rock,
And the Most High God their Redeemer.
36
Nevertheless they flattered Him with their mouth,
And they lied to Him with their tongue;
37
For their heart was not steadfast with Him,
Nor were they faithful in His covenant.
38
But He,
being
full of compassion, forgave
their
iniquity,
And did not destroy
them.
Yes, many a time He turned His anger away,
And did not stir up all His wrath;
39
For He remembered that they
were but
flesh,
A breath that passes away and does not come again.
40
How often they provoked Him in the wilderness,
And
grieved Him in the desert!
41
Yes, again and again they tempted God,
And limited the Holy One of Israel.
