Psalms Chapter 106
1 | Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. | 2 | Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? | 3 | Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. | 4 | Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; | 5 | That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance. | 6 | We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. | 7 | Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea. | 8 | Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. | 9 | He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. | 10 | And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. | 11 | And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. | 12 | Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. | 13 | They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: | 14 | But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. | 15 | And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. | 16 | They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. | 17 | The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. | 18 | And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. | 19 | They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. | 20 | Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. | 21 | They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; | 22 | Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. | 23 | Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. | 24 | Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: | 25 | But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. | 26 | Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: | 27 | To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. | 28 | They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. | 29 | Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. | 30 | Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. | 31 | And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. | 32 | They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: | 33 | Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. | 34 | They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: | 35 | But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. | 36 | And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. | 37 | Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, | 38 | And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. | 39 | Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. | 40 | Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. | 41 | And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. | 42 | Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. | 43 | Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. | 44 | Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: | 45 | And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. | 46 | He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. | 47 | Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. | 48 | Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD. |
