Psalm 106

1
Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever. Begin Abide·
2
Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise? Begin Abide·
3
Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times. Begin Abide·
4
Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation, Begin Abide·
5
that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance. Begin Abide·
6
We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly. Begin Abide·
7
Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea. Begin Abide·
8
Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known. Begin Abide·
9
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert. Begin Abide·
10
He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. Begin Abide·
11
The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained. Begin Abide·
12
Then they believed His promises and sang His praise. Begin Abide·
13
Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel. Begin Abide·
14
They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert. Begin Abide·
15
So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them. Begin Abide·
16
In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD. Begin Abide·
17
The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram. Begin Abide·
18
Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked. Begin Abide·
19
At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped a molten image. Begin Abide·
20
They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox. Begin Abide·
21
They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt, Begin Abide·
22
wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. Begin Abide·
23
So He said He would destroy them—had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them. Begin Abide·
24
They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise. Begin Abide·
25
They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD. Begin Abide·
26
So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness, Begin Abide·
27
to disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. Begin Abide·
28
They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods. Begin Abide·
29
So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them. Begin Abide·
30
But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained. Begin Abide·
31
It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come. Begin Abide·
32
At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them. Begin Abide·
33
For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips. Begin Abide·
34
They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them, Begin Abide·
35
but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. Begin Abide·
36
They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. Begin Abide·
37
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. Begin Abide·
38
They shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. Begin Abide·
39
They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds. Begin Abide·
40
So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance. Begin Abide·
41
He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them. Begin Abide·
42
Their enemies oppressed them and subdued them under their hand. Begin Abide·
43
Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity. Begin Abide·
44
Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress. Begin Abide·
45
And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion. Begin Abide·
46
He made them objects of compassion to all who held them captive. Begin Abide·
47
Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise. Begin Abide·
48
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah! Begin Abide·
