Psalms
Pss.106
[1] Praise 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.
[6] 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 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.
[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 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 pleasant 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
overthrow 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 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, so
that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
[33] Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
unadvisedly with his lips.
[34] They 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. Praise ye the
LORD.
