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.

Psalms 106

1 Chron 16.34. Praise the Lord!
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures for ever!
2Who can utter the mighty doings of the Lord,
or show forth all his praise?
3Blessed are they who observe justice,
who do righteousness at all times!
4Remember me, O Lord, when thou showest favor to thy people;
help me when thou deliverest them;
5that I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation,
that I may glory with thy heritage.
6Both we and our fathers have sinned;
we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider thy wonderful works;
they did not remember the abundance of thy steadfast love,
but rebelled against the Most High#106.7 Cn Compare 78.17, 56: Heb at the sea
at the Red Sea.
8Yet he saved them for his name's sake,
that he might make known his mighty power.
9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry;
and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
10So he saved them from the hand of the foe,
and delivered them from the power of the enemy.
11And the waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left.
12Then they believed his words;
they sang his praise.
13But they soon forgot his works;
they did not wait for his counsel.
14But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness,
and put God to the test in the desert;
15he gave them what they asked,
but sent a wasting disease among them.
16When men in the camp were jealous of Moses
and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,
17the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18Fire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb
and worshiped a molten image.
20They exchanged the glory of God
for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They forgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and terrible things by the Red Sea.
23Therefore he said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
24Then they despised the pleasant land,
having no faith in his promise.
25They murmured in their tents,
and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
27and would disperse#106.27 Syr Compare Ezek 20.23: Heb cause to fall their descendants among the nations,
scattering them over the lands.
28Then they attached themselves to the Baal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;
29they provoked the Lord to anger with their doings,
and a plague broke out among them.
30Then Phinehas stood up and interposed,
and the plague was stayed.
31And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness
from generation to generation for ever.
32They angered him at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account;
33for they made his spirit bitter,
and he spoke words that were rash.
34They did not destroy the peoples,
as the Lord commanded them,
35but they mingled with the nations
and learned to do as they did.
36They served their idols,
which became a snare to them.
37They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to the demons;
38they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
and the land was polluted with blood.
39Thus they became unclean by their acts,
and played the harlot in their doings.
40Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,
and he abhorred his heritage;
41he gave them into the hand of the nations,
so that those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their power.
43Many times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their purposes,
and were brought low through their iniquity.
44Nevertheless he regarded their distress,
when he heard their cry.
45He remembered for their sake his covenant,
and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
46He caused them to be pitied
by all those who held them captive.
47 #
1 Chron 16.35-36. Save us, O Lord our God,
and gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to thy holy name
and glory in thy praise.
48Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
And let all the people say, “Amen!”
Praise the Lord!
