| 106:1 |
Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
|
| 106:2 |
Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise?
|
| 106:3 |
Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right.
|
| 106:4 |
Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them,
|
| 106:5 |
that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.
|
| 106:6 |
We have sinned, even as our fathers did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
|
| 106:7 |
When our fathers were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.
|
| 106:8 |
Yet he saved them for his name's sake, to make his mighty power known.
|
| 106:9 |
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.
|
| 106:10 |
He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.
|
| 106:11 |
The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
|
| 106:12 |
Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.
|
| 106:13 |
But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his counsel.
|
| 106:14 |
In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wasteland they put God to the test.
|
| 106:15 |
So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
|
| 106:16 |
In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD.
|
| 106:17 |
The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram.
|
| 106:18 |
Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked.
|
| 106:19 |
At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
|
| 106:20 |
They exchanged their Glory for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
|
| 106:21 |
They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,
|
| 106:22 |
miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
|
| 106:23 |
So he said he would destroy them-- had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them.
|
| 106:24 |
Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.
|
| 106:25 |
They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD.
|
| 106:26 |
So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the desert,
|
| 106:27 |
make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
|
| 106:28 |
They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
|
| 106:29 |
they provoked the LORD to anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
|
| 106:30 |
But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked.
|
| 106:31 |
This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
|
| 106:32 |
By the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them;
|
| 106:33 |
for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses' lips.
|
| 106:34 |
They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
|
| 106:35 |
but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
|
| 106:36 |
They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
|
| 106:37 |
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
|
| 106:38 |
They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood.
|
| 106:39 |
They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves.
|
| 106:40 |
Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance.
|
| 106:41 |
He handed them over to the nations, and their foes ruled over them.
|
| 106:42 |
Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power.
|
| 106:43 |
Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin.
|
| 106:44 |
But he took note of their distress when he heard their cry;
|
| 106:45 |
for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.
|
| 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 the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.
|
| 106:48 |
Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD. BOOK V Psalms 107-150
