Psalm 106 

Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is ^agood: for his mercy endureth for ever. ^{2 b}Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? ³ Blessed are they that ^ckeep judgment, and he that ^ddoeth righteousness at ^eall 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 f}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 ^gfor his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. ^{9 i}He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so ^hhe 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 ^jsent leanness into their soul.

^{16 k}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 l}They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. ²⁰ Thus ^mthey 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 n}Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen ^ostood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. ²⁴ Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they ^pbelieved 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 q}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, ^rso that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: ³³ Because they provoked his spirit, so that he ^sspake unadvisedly with his lips. ^{34 t}They did not destroy the nations, ^uconcerning whom the LORD commanded them: ^{35 v}But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. ³⁶ And ^wthey served their idols: which were a snare unto them. ³⁷ Yea, ^xthey 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 ^ythe 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 ^zhe 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 ^ahe heard their cry: ^{45 b}And he remembered for them his covenant, and ^crepented according to the multitude of his mercies. ^{46 d}He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. ⁴⁷ Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us ^efrom among the heathen, to give thanks ^funto 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.
