Psalms Chapter 106 (NASB)
undefined
Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
undefined
Who can speak of the mighty deeds of the LORD, Or can show forth all His praise?
undefined
How blessed are those who keep justice, Who practice righteousness at all times!
undefined
Remember me, O LORD, in [Your] favor toward Your people; Visit me with Your salvation,
undefined
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.
undefined
We have sinned like our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.
undefined
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.
undefined
Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of His name, That He might make His power known.
undefined
Thus He rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up, And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.
undefined
So He saved them from the hand of the one who hated [them], And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
undefined
The waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.
undefined
Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.
undefined
They quickly forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,
undefined
But craved intensely in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.
undefined
So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them.
undefined
When they became envious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,
undefined
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram.
undefined
And a fire blazed up in their company; The flame consumed the wicked.
undefined
They made a calf in Horeb And worshiped a molten image.
undefined
Thus they exchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass.
undefined
They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
undefined
Wonders in the land of Ham [And] awesome things by the Red Sea.
undefined
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].
undefined
Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe in His word,
undefined
But grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
undefined
Therefore He swore to them That He would cast them down in the wilderness,
undefined
And that He would cast their seed among the nations And scatter them in the lands.
undefined
They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
undefined
Thus they provoked [Him] to anger with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.
undefined
Then Phinehas stood up and interposed, And so the plague was stayed.
undefined
And it was reckoned to him for righteousness, To all generations forever.
undefined
They also provoked [Him] to wrath at the waters of Meribah, So that it went hard with Moses on their account;
undefined
Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.
undefined
They did not destroy the peoples, As the LORD commanded them,
undefined
But they mingled with the nations And learned their practices,
undefined
And served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
undefined
They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons,
undefined
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.
undefined
Thus they became unclean in their practices, And played the harlot in their deeds.
undefined
Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against His people And He abhorred His inheritance.
undefined
Then He gave them into the hand of the nations, And those who hated them ruled over them.
undefined
Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their power.
undefined
Many times He would deliver them; They, however, were rebellious in their counsel, And [so] sank down in their iniquity.
undefined
Nevertheless He looked upon their distress When He heard their cry;
undefined
And He remembered His covenant for their sake, And relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness.
undefined
He also made them [objects] of compassion In the presence of all their captors.
undefined
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.
undefined
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, 'Amen.' Praise the LORD!
