106:1 |
Praise the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.
|
106:2 |
Who can utter the mighty doings of the LORD, or declare all his praise?
|
106:3 |
Happy are those who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times.
|
106:4 |
Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you deliver them;
|
106:5 |
that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory in your heritage.
|
106:6 |
Both we and our ancestors have sinned; we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly.
|
106:7 |
Our ancestors, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wonderful works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea.
|
106:8 |
Yet he saved them for his name's sake, so that he might make known his mighty power.
|
106:9 |
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry; he led them through the deep as through a desert.
|
106:10 |
So he saved them from the hand of the foe, and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.
|
106:11 |
The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left.
|
106:12 |
Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.
|
106:13 |
But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.
|
106:14 |
But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;
|
106:15 |
he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.
|
106:16 |
They were jealous of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
|
106:17 |
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the faction of Abiram.
|
106:18 |
Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
|
106:19 |
They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped a cast image.
|
106:20 |
They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.
|
106:21 |
They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
|
106:22 |
wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
|
106:23 |
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.
|
106:24 |
Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise.
|
106:25 |
They grumbled in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD.
|
106:26 |
Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
|
106:27 |
and would disperse their descendants among the nations, scattering them over the lands.
|
106:28 |
Then they attached themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;
|
106:29 |
they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
|
106:30 |
Then Phinehas stood up and interceded, and the plague was stopped.
|
106:31 |
And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever.
|
106:32 |
They angered the LORD at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;
|
106:33 |
for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke words that were rash.
|
106:34 |
They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
|
106:35 |
but they mingled with the nations and learned to do as they did.
|
106:36 |
They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
|
106:37 |
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
|
106:38 |
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.
|
106:39 |
Thus they became unclean by their acts, and prostituted themselves in their doings.
|
106:40 |
Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;
|
106:41 |
he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them.
|
106:42 |
Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power.
|
106:43 |
Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes, and were brought low through their iniquity.
|
106:44 |
Nevertheless he regarded their distress when he heard their cry.
|
106:45 |
For their sake he remembered his covenant, and showed compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
|
106:46 |
He caused them to be pitied by all who held them captive.
|
106:47 |
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.
|
106:48 |
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the LORD!
