Ps 106:1 |
Praise the LORD!
Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting. |
|
|
Ps 106:2 |
Who can speak of the mighty deeds of the LORD,
Or can show forth all His praise? |
|
|
Ps 106:3 |
How blessed are those who keep justice,
Who practice righteousness at all times! |
|
|
Ps 106:4 |
Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor toward Your people;
Visit me with Your salvation, |
|
|
Ps 106:5 |
That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones,
That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may glory with Your inheritance. |
|
|
Ps 106:6 |
We have sinned like our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly. |
|
|
Ps 106:7 |
Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses,
But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea. |
|
|
Ps 106:8 |
Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of His name,
That He might make His power known. |
|
|
Ps 106:9 |
Thus He rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up,
And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness. |
|
|
Ps 106:10 |
So He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. |
|
|
Ps 106:11 |
The waters covered their adversaries;
Not one of them was left. |
|
|
Ps 106:12 |
Then they believed His words;
They sang His praise. |
|
|
Ps 106:13 |
They quickly forgot His works;
They did not wait for His counsel, |
|
|
Ps 106:14 |
But craved intensely in the wilderness,
And tempted God in the desert. |
|
 |
Ps 106:15 |
So He gave them their request,
But sent a wasting disease among them. |
|
|
Ps 106:16 |
When they became envious of Moses in the camp,
And of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD, |
|
|
Ps 106:17 |
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
And engulfed the company of Abiram. |
|
|
Ps 106:18 |
And a fire blazed up in their company;
The flame consumed the wicked. |
|
|
Ps 106:19 |
They made a calf in Horeb
And worshiped a molten image. |
|
|
Ps 106:20 |
Thus they exchanged their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass. |
|
|
Ps 106:21 |
They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done great things in Egypt, |
|
|
Ps 106:22 |
Wonders in the land of Ham
And awesome things by the Red Sea. |
|
|
Ps 106:23 |
Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them. |
|
|
Ps 106:24 |
Then they despised the pleasant land;
They did not believe in His word, |
|
|
Ps 106:25 |
But grumbled in their tents;
They did not listen to the voice of the LORD. |
|
|
Ps 106:26 |
Therefore He swore to them
That He would cast them down in the wilderness, |
|
|
Ps 106:27 |
And that He would cast their seed among the nations
And scatter them in the lands. |
|
|
Ps 106:28 |
They joined themselves also to Baal-peor,
And ate sacrifices offered to the dead. |
|
|
Ps 106:29 |
Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,
And the plague broke out among them. |
|
|
Ps 106:30 |
Then Phinehas stood up and interposed,
And so the plague was stayed. |
|
|
Ps 106:31 |
And it was reckoned to him for righteousness,
To all generations forever. |
|
|
Ps 106:32 |
They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah,
So that it went hard with Moses on their account; |
|
|
Ps 106:33 |
Because they were rebellious against His Spirit,
He spoke rashly with his lips. |
|
|
Ps 106:34 |
They did not destroy the peoples,
As the LORD commanded them, |
|
|
Ps 106:35 |
But they mingled with the nations
And learned their practices, |
|
|
Ps 106:36 |
And served their idols,
Which became a snare to them. |
|
|
Ps 106:37 |
They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons, |
|
|
Ps 106:38 |
And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and their daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was polluted with the blood. |
|
|
Ps 106:39 |
Thus they became unclean in their practices,
And played the harlot in their deeds. |
|
|
Ps 106:40 |
Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against His people
And He abhorred His inheritance. |
|
|
Ps 106:41 |
Then He gave them into the hand of the nations,
And those who hated them ruled over them. |
|
|
Ps 106:42 |
Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were subdued under their power. |
|
|
Ps 106:43 |
Many times He would deliver them;
They, however, were rebellious in their counsel,
And so sank down in their iniquity. |
|
|
Ps 106:44 |
Nevertheless He looked upon their distress
When He heard their cry; |
|
|
Ps 106:45 |
And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness. |
|
|
Ps 106:46 |
He also made them objects of compassion
In the presence of all their captors. |
|
|
Ps 106:47 |
Save us, O LORD our God,
And gather us from among the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name
And glory in Your praise. |
|
|
Ps 106:48 |
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
And let all the people say, "Amen."
Praise the LORD! |
