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