Psalms 106

Israel's Rebelliousness and the LORD'S Deliverances.

1

 1Praise  2the LORD! Oh  agive thanks to the LORD, for He  bis good; For  cHis lovingkindness is everlasting.

2

Who can speak of the  amighty deeds of the LORD, Or can show forth all His praise?

3

How blessed are those who keep  1justice,  2Who  apractice righteousness at all times!

4

Remember me, O LORD, in Your  afavor  1toward Your people; Visit me with Your salvation,

5

That I may see the  aprosperity of Your chosen ones, That I may  brejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may  cglory with Your  1inheritance.

6

 aWe have sinned  1 blike our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

7

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your  1wonders; They  adid not remember  2Your abundant kindnesses, But  brebelled by the sea, at the  3Red Sea.

8

Nevertheless He saved them  afor the sake of His name, That He might  bmake His power known.

9

Thus He  arebuked the  1Red Sea and it  bdried up, And He  cled them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.

10

So He  asaved them from the  1hand of the one who hated them, And  bredeemed them from the  1hand of the enemy.

11

 aThe waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.

12

Then they  abelieved His words; They  bsang His praise.

13

They quickly  aforgot His works; They  bdid not wait for His counsel,

14

But  acraved intensely in the wilderness, And  1 btempted God in the desert.

15

So He  agave them their request, But  bsent a  1wasting disease among them.

16

When they became  aenvious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,

17

The  aearth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And engulfed the  1company of Abiram.

18

And a  afire blazed up in their  1company; The flame consumed the wicked.

19

They  amade a calf in Horeb And worshiped a molten image.

20

Thus they  aexchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass.

21

They  aforgot God their Savior, Who had done  bgreat things in Egypt,

22

 1 aWonders in the land of Ham And awesome things by the  2Red Sea.

23

Therefore  aHe said that He would destroy them, Had not  bMoses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him, To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

24

Then they  adespised the  bpleasant land; They  cdid not believe in His word,

25

But  agrumbled in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of the LORD.

26

Therefore He  1 aswore to them That He would cast them down in the wilderness,

27

And that He would  acast their seed among the nations And  bscatter them in the lands.

28

They  ajoined themselves also to  1Baal-peor, And ate  bsacrifices offered to the dead.

29

Thus they  aprovoked Him to anger with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.

30

Then Phinehas  astood up and interposed, And so the  bplague was stayed.

31

And it was  areckoned to him for righteousness, To all generations forever.

32

They also  aprovoked Him to wrath at the waters of  1Meribah, So that it  bwent hard with Moses on their account;

33

Because they  awere rebellious against  1His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.

34

They  adid not destroy the peoples, As  bthe LORD commanded them,

35

But  athey mingled with the nations And learned their  1practices,

36

And  aserved their idols,  bWhich became a snare to them.

37

They even  asacrificed their sons and their daughters to the  bdemons,

38

And shed  ainnocent blood, The blood of their  bsons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was  cpolluted with the blood.

39

Thus they became  aunclean in their  1practices, And  bplayed the harlot in their deeds.

40

Therefore the  aanger of the LORD was kindled against His people And He  babhorred His  1 cinheritance.

41

Then  aHe gave them into the hand of the  1nations, And those who hated them ruled over them.

42

Their enemies also  aoppressed them, And they were subdued under their  1power.

43

Many times He would  adeliver them; They, however, were rebellious in their  bcounsel, And so  csank down in their iniquity.

44

Nevertheless He looked upon their distress When He  aheard their cry;

45

And He  aremembered His covenant for their sake, And  1 brelented  caccording to the greatness of His lovingkindness.

46

He also made them  aobjects of compassion In the presence of all their captors.

47

 aSave us, O LORD our God, And  bgather us from among the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name And  1 cglory in Your praise.

48

 aBlessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen."  1Praise  2the LORD!
