Psalms Chapter 106 (ESV)

undefined Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
undefined Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD, or declare all his praise?
undefined Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
undefined Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,
undefined that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
undefined Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
undefined Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
undefined Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his mighty power.
undefined He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry, and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
undefined So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
undefined And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left.
undefined Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.
undefined But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.
undefined But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;
undefined he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.
undefined When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,
undefined the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
undefined Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
undefined They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image.
undefined They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.
undefined They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
undefined wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
undefined Therefore he said he would destroy them — had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
undefined Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise.
undefined They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD.
undefined Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
undefined and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands.
undefined Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;
undefined they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
undefined Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stayed.
undefined And that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever.
undefined They angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account,
undefined for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke rashly with his lips.
undefined They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
undefined but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did.
undefined They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
undefined They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
undefined they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.
undefined Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds.
undefined Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;
undefined he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them.
undefined Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power.
undefined Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity.
undefined Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry.
undefined For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
undefined He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive.
undefined Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.
undefined Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD!
