PSALM 106
1Praisea
ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth
for ever. 2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who
can shew forth all his praise? 3 Blessed are they that keep
judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all 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.
6We 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 for his name’s sake,
that he might make his mighty power to be known. 9 He rebuked the
Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he 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.
13They
soonb
forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: 14 But lustedc
exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. 15
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. 16
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
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. 20
Thus they 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 Therefore he said that he would destroy
them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his
wrath, lest he should destroy them. 24 Yea, they despised
the pleasantd land, they believed 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
overthrowe
them in the wilderness: 27 To overthrow their seed also among the
nations, and to scatter them in the lands. 28 They joined
themselves also unto Baalpeor, 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, so that it went ill with
Moses for their sakes: 33 Because they provoked his spirit, so
that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34They did
not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: 35
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. 36
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. 37
Yea, they 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 the 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 he 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 he heard their cry: 45
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the
multitude of his mercies. 46 He made them also to be pitied of all
those that carried them captives. 47 Save us, O LORD our God, and
gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto 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.
Praisef
ye the LORD.
