Psalm 106

1. 1

   Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, *
   for his mercy endures for ever.

2. 2

   Who can declare the mighty acts of the LORD *
   or show forth all his praise?

3. 3

   Happy are those who act with justice *
   and always do what is right!

4. 4

   Remember me, O LORD, with the favor you have for your people, *
   and visit me with your saving help;

5. 5

   That I may see the prosperity of your elect and be glad with the gladness of your people, *
   that I may glory with your inheritance.

6. 6

   We have sinned as our forebears did; *
   we have done wrong and dealt wickedly.

7. 7

   In Egypt they did not consider your marvelous works, nor remember the abundance of your love; *
   they defied the Most High at the Red Sea.

8. 8

   But he saved them for his Name's sake, *
   to make his power known.

9. 9

   He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, *
   and he led them through the deep as through a desert.

10. 10

    He saved them from the hand of those who hated them *
    and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11. 11

    The waters covered their oppressors; *
    not one of them was left.

12. 12

    Then they believed his words *
    and sang him songs of praise.

13. 13

    But they soon forgot his deeds *
    and did not wait for his counsel.

14. 14

    A craving seized them in the wilderness, *
    and they put God to the test in the desert.

15. 15

    He gave them what they asked, *
    but sent leanness into their soul.

16. 16

    They envied Moses in the camp, *
    and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

17. 17

    The earth opened and swallowed Dathan *
    and covered the company of Abiram.

18. 18

    Fire blazed up against their company, *
    and flames devoured the wicked.

19. 19

    Israel made a bull-calf at Horeb *
    and worshiped a molten image;

20. 20

    And so they exchanged their Glory *
    for the image of an ox that feeds on grass.

21. 21

    They forgot God their Savior, *
    who had done great things in Egypt,

22. 22

    Wonderful deeds in the land of Ham, *
    and fearful things at the Red Sea.

23. 23

    So he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, *
    to turn away his wrath from consuming them.

24. 24

    They refused the pleasant land *
    and would not believe his promise.

25. 25

    They grumbled in their tents *
    and would not listen to the voice of the LORD.

26. 26

    So he lifted his hand against them, *
    to overthrow them in the wilderness,

27. 27

    To cast out their seed among the nations, *
    and to scatter them throughout the lands.

28. 28

    They joined themselves to Baal-Peor *
    and ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

29. 29

    They provoked him to anger with their actions, *
    and a plague broke out among them.

30. 30

    Then Phinehas stood up and interceded, *
    and the plague came to an end.

31. 31

    This was reckoned to him as righteousness *
    throughout all generations for ever.

32. 32

    Again they provoked his anger at the waters of Meribah, *
    so that he punished Moses because of them;

33. 33

    For they so embittered his spirit *
    that he spoke rash words with his lips.

34. 34

    They did not destroy the peoples *
    as the LORD had commanded them.

35. 35

    They intermingled with the heathen *
    and learned their pagan ways,

36. 36

    So that they worshiped their idols, *
    which became a snare to them.

37. 37

    They sacrificed their sons *
    and their daughters to evil spirits.

38. 38

    They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, *
    which they offered to the idols of Canaan, and the land was defiled with blood.

39. 39

    Thus they were polluted by their actions *
    and went whoring in their evil deeds.

40. 40

    Therefore the wrath of the LORD was kindled against his people *
    and he abhorred his inheritance.

41. 41

    He gave them over to the hand of the heathen, *
    and those who hated them ruled over them.

42. 42

    Their enemies oppressed them, *
    and they were humbled under their hand.

43. 43

    Many a time did he deliver them, but they rebelled through their own devices, *
    and were brought down in their iniquity.

44. 44

    Nevertheless, he saw their distress, *
    when he heard their lamentation.

45. 45

    He remembered his covenant with them *
    and relented in accordance with his great mercy.

46. 46

    He caused them to be pitied *
    by those who held them captive.

47. 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.

48. 48

    Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting; *
    and let all the people say, "Amen!" Hallelujah!
