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 wildernessand grieved his heart in that dry wasteland.
41 Again and again they tested God’s patienceand provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42 They did not remember his powerand how he rescued them from their enemies.
43 They did not remember his miraculous signs in Egypt,his wonders on the plain of Zoan.
44 For he turned their rivers into blood,so no one could drink from the streams.
45 He sent vast swarms of flies to consume themand hordes of frogs to ruin them.
