Psalms 78: 1 - 2, 34 - 38
|
| 1
|
Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth!
|
| 2
|
I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings from of old,
|
| 34
|
When he slew them, they sought for 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 true to his covenant.
|
| 38
|
Yet he, being compassionate, forgave their iniquity, and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often, and did not stir up all his wrath.
