Psalm 78:39
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
In context
37 Their hearts were disloyal to Him, and they were unfaithful to His covenant.
38 And yet He was compassionate; He forgave their iniquity and did not destroy them. He often restrained His anger and did not unleash His full wrath.
39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a passing breeze that does not return.
40 How often they disobeyed Him in the wilderness and grieved Him in the desert!
41 Again and again they tested God and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
