Psalm 106
1¶ Halelu-JAH. O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever.
2Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can show forth all his praise?
3Happy are those that keep judgment and he that does righteousness at all times.
4Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou dost bear unto thy people; O visit me with thy saving health,
5that 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.
7Our fathers did not understand thy wonders in Egypt; they did not remember the multitude of thy mercies but rebelled by the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9He reprehended the Red Sea also, and it was dried up, so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.
13¶ They became rash. They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14They gave themselves over to lust in the wilderness and tempted God in the desert.
15And he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16Then they envied Moses in the camp and Aaron the saint of the Lord.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped the molten image.
20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eats grass.
21They forgot the God of their saving health, who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things upon the Red Sea.
23Therefore 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.
24And they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his word:
25But murmured in their tents and did not hearken unto the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness,
27to overthrow their seed also among the Gentiles, and to scatter them in the lands.
28They also joined themselves unto Baalpeor and ate the sacrifices for the dead.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions; and the plague broke in upon them.
30Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
31And that was counted unto him for righteousness from generation to generation for evermore.
32They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33Because they provoked his spirit to rebel, and he spoke it with his lips.
34¶ They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them:
35But were mingled among the Gentiles and learned their works.
36And they served their idols, which were a snare unto them.
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils
38and 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.
39Thus they were defiled with their own works and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41And he gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, and those that hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43He delivered them many times, but they rebelled at his counsel and were brought low for their iniquity.
44Nevertheless he would look upon their affliction and hear their cry
45and remember his covenant with them and repent according to the multitude of his mercies.
46He also caused those that carried them captives to have mercy upon them.
47Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the Gentiles, that we might lift up thy holy name, that we might glory in thy praise.
48Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting; and let all the people say, Amen. Halelu-JAH.

Israel’s Unfaithfulness to God
1Hallelujah!
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his faithful love endures forever.#1Ch 16:34,41; Ps 100:5
2Who can declare the Lord’s mighty acts
or proclaim all the praise due him?#Ps 145:4,12; 150:2

who practice righteousness at all times.#Ps 15:2
4Remember me, Lord,
when you show favor to your people.#Ps 119:132

5so that I may enjoy the prosperity
of your chosen ones,
rejoice in the joy of your nation,
and boast about your heritage.#Dt 32:9; Ps 105:6,43
6Both we and our ancestors have sinned;
we have done wrong and have acted wickedly.#Lv 26:40; Jr 3:25; 14:20
7Our ancestors in Egypt did not grasp
the significance of your wondrous works
or remember your many acts of faithful love;
instead, they rebelled by the sea — the Red Sea.#Ex 14:10–12; Ps 78:17
8Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,
to make his power known.#Ex 9:16; Ezk 20:9

not one of them remained.#Ex 14:27–28; 15:5; Ps 78:53
12Then they believed his promises

14They were seized with craving in the wilderness
and tested God in the desert.#Nm 11:4; Ps 78:18
15He gave them what they asked for,
but sent a wasting disease among them.#Nm 11:31; Ps 78:29
16In the camp they were envious of Moses
and of Aaron, the Lord’s holy one.#Nm 16:1–3
17The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan;
it covered the assembly of Abiram.#Nm 16:31–32; Dt 11:6
18Fire blazed throughout their assembly;
flames consumed the wicked.#Nm 16:35
19At Horeb they made a calf
and worshiped the cast metal image.#Ex 32:4; Dt 9:8; Ac 7:41
20They exchanged their glory#106:20 Alt Hb tradition reads his glory, or my glory#106:20 = God
for the image of a grass-eating ox.#Jr 2:11; Rm 1:23
21They forgot God their Savior,
who did great things in Egypt,#Dt 10:21; Ps 78:11
22wondrous works in the land of Ham,#106:22 = Egypt

if Moses his chosen one
had not stood before him in the breach
to turn his wrath away from destroying them.#Ex 32:10; Dt 9:14; Ezk 20:8
24They despised the pleasant land
and did not believe his promise.#Nm 14:31; Dt 9:23; Heb 3:19
25They grumbled in their tents
and did not listen to the Lord.#Nm 14:2; Dt 1:27
26So he raised his hand against them with an oath
that he would make them fall in the desert#Nm 14:28–35; Ezk 20:15; Heb 3:11
27and would disperse their descendants#106:27 Syr; MT reads would make their descendants fall
among the nations,
scattering them throughout the lands.#Lv 26:33; Dt 4:27; Ps 44:11
28They aligned themselves with Baal of Peor
and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.#106:28 Lit sacrifices for dead ones#Nm 25:3; Dt 4:3; Hs 9:10
29They angered the Lord with their deeds,
and a plague broke out against them.#Nm 25:4

and the plague was stopped.#Nm 25:7–8
31It was credited to him as righteousness
throughout all generations to come.#Gn 15:6; Nm 25:10–13
32They angered the Lord at the Waters of Meribah,
and Moses suffered#106:32 Lit and it was evil for Moses because of them,#Nm 20:2–13; Ps 81:7
33for they embittered his spirit,#106:33 Some Hb mss, LXX, Syr, Jer; other Hb mss read they rebelled against his Spirit
and he spoke rashly with his lips.#Ps 78:40; Is 63:10
34They did not destroy the peoples
as the Lord had commanded them#Dt 7:2,16; Jdg 1:21,27–36

and adopted their ways.#Jdg 3:5–6

which became a snare to them.#Dt 7:16; Jdg 2:12
37They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.#Lv 17:7; Dt 32:17
38They shed innocent blood —
the blood of their sons and daughters
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
so the land became polluted with blood.#Nm 35:33; Is 24:5
39They defiled themselves by their actions
and prostituted themselves by their deeds.#Lv 18:24; Ezk 20:18,30–31
40Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against his people,
and he abhorred his own inheritance.#Dt 32:19; Ps 78:59
41He handed them over to the nations;
those who hated them ruled over them.#Jdg 2:14; Neh 9:27
42Their enemies oppressed them,
and they were subdued under their power.#Jdg 4:3; 10:12
43He rescued them many times,
but they continued to rebel deliberately
and were beaten down by their iniquity.#Jdg 2:16–18; Ps 81:12
44When he heard their cry,
he took note of their distress,#Jdg 3:3; 6:7; 10:10
45remembered his covenant with them,
and relented according to the abundance
of his faithful love.#Lv 26:42; Ps 105:8
46He caused them to be pitied
before all their captors.#1Kg 8:50; 2Ch 30:9; Ezr 9:9
47Save us, Lord our God,
and gather us from the nations,
so that we may give thanks to your holy name
and rejoice in your praise.#Ps 107:3; 147:2

from everlasting to everlasting.#Ps 41:13; 72:18; 89:52
