Psalms 106
106
1Ch 16:34–36
1Praise the Lord!
Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,
for His mercy endures forever.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 Who can recount the mighty acts of the Lord
or declare all His praise?
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 Blessed are those who keep justice
and who do righteousness at all times.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 Remember me, O Lord, when You give favor to Your people;
visit me with Your deliverance,
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 that I may see the goodness over Your chosen ones,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
that I may glory with Your inheritance.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 We have sinned with our fathers;
we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedly.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 Our fathers did not consider
Your wonders in Egypt;
they did not remember the greatness of Your mercy,
but rebelled against Him at the sea, by the Red Sea.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,
that He might make His mighty power known.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was driedup,
so He led them through the depths as through the wilderness.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 The waters covered their enemies;
there was not one of them 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 lusted exceedingly in the wilderness
and tested God in the desert.
15He gave them their request,
but He sent a wasting disease on them.
16They envied in the camp Moses
and Aaron, the holy priest of the Lord.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan
and engulfed those led by Abiram.
18A fire broke out among their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19They made a calf at Horeb,
and worshipped the molded image.
20Thus they changed the glory of God
for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They forgot God, their Deliverer,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and marvelous deeds by the Red Sea.
23Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
had not Moses, His chosen one,
stood before Him to intercede,
to turn away His wrath from destroying them.
24Then they despised the pleasant land;
they did not believe His promise,
25but they grumbled in their tents,
and did not listen to the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore He lifted up His hand against them
and swore to overthrow them in the wilderness,
27and to overthrow their offspring among the nations,
and to scatter them in the lands.
28They joined themselves to Baal of Peor
and ate the sacrifices given for the dead.
29Thus they provoked Him to anger with their acts,
and a plague broke out upon them.
30Then Phinehas stood up and interceded,
and so the plague ceased.
31That was counted unto him for righteousness
unto all generations forever.
32They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah,
so that Moses suffered because of them,
33because they provoked his temper,
so that he spoke impulsively with his lips.
34They did not destroy the nations
as the Lord commanded them,
35but they mixed among the nations
and learned their deeds;
36they served their idols,
which were a snare to them.
37Yes, they sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons,
38and poured out innocent blood,
even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was polluted with blood.
39Thus were they defiled by their acts
and acted like whores with these actions.
40Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,
and He abhorred His own inheritance.
41He gave them into the hand of the nations,
and those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies also oppressed them,
and Israel was brought into subjection under their powerful hand.
43Many times He delivered them,
but they were rebellious against Him with their counsel,
and were afflicted for their iniquity.
44Nevertheless, He regarded their affliction,
when He heard their cry:
45and He remembered on their behalf His covenant
and relented according to the greatness of His mercies.
46He made them pitied
among all those who held them captive.
47Save us, O Lord our God,
and gather us from among the nations,
to give thanks unto Your holy name
and to boast in Your praise.
48Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting,
and let all the people say, “Amen!”
Praise the Lord!

Psalm 106
1Hallelujah!
Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
because his mercy endures forever.
2Who can speak about all the mighty things the Lord has done?
Who can announce all the things for which he is worthy of praise?
3Blessed are those who defend justice
and do what is right at all times.
4Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people.
Come to help me with your salvation
5so that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones,
find joy in our people’s happiness,
and brag with the people who belong to you.
6We have sinned, and so did our ancestors.
We have done wrong.
We are guilty.
7When our ancestors were in Egypt,
they gave no thought to your miracles.
They did not remember your numerous acts of mercy,
so they rebelled at the sea, the Red Sea.
8He saved them because of his reputation
so that he could make his mighty power known.
9He angrily commanded the Red Sea, and it dried up.
He led them through deep water as though it were a desert.
10He rescued them from the power of the one who hated them.
He rescued them from the enemy.
11Water covered their adversaries.
Not one Egyptian survived.
12Then our ancestors believed what he said.
They sang his praise.
13They quickly forgot what he did.
They did not wait for his advice.
14They had an unreasonable desire ⌞for food⌟ in the wilderness.
In the desert they tested God.
15He gave them what they asked for.
He ⌞also⌟ gave them a degenerative disease.
16In the camp certain men became envious of Moses.
They also became envious of Aaron, the Lord’s holy one.
17The ground split open and swallowed Dathan.
It buried Abiram’s followers.
18A fire broke out among their followers.
Flames burned up wicked people.
19At Mount Horeb they made ⌞a statue of⌟ a calf.
They worshiped an idol made of metal.
20They traded their glorious God #106:20 Or “their glory.”
for the statue of a bull that eats grass.
21They forgot God, their savior,
the one who did spectacular things in Egypt,
22miracles in the land of Ham,
and terrifying things at the Red Sea.
23God said he was going to destroy them,
but Moses, his chosen one, stood in his way
to prevent him from exterminating them.
24They refused ⌞to enter⌟ the pleasant land.
They did not believe what he said.
25They complained in their tents.
They did not obey the Lord.
26Raising his hand, he swore
that he would kill them in the wilderness,
27kill their descendants among the nations,
and scatter them throughout various lands.
28They joined in worshiping the god Baal while they were at Peor,
and they ate what was sacrificed to the dead.
29They infuriated God by what they did,
and a plague broke out among them.
30Then Phinehas stood between God and the people,
and the plague was stopped.
31Because of this, Phinehas was considered righteous forever,
throughout every generation.
32They made God angry by the water at Meribah.
Things turned out badly for Moses because of what they did,
33since they made him bitter so that he spoke recklessly.
34They did not destroy the people as the Lord had told them.
35Instead, they intermarried with other nations.
They learned to do what other nations did,
36and they worshiped their idols,
which became a trap for them.
37They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.
38They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their own sons and daughters
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.
The land became polluted with blood.
39They became filthy because of what they did.
They behaved like prostitutes.
40The Lord burned with anger against his own people.
He was disgusted with those who belonged to him.
41He handed them over to other nations,
and those who hated them ruled them.
42Their enemies oppressed them
and made them subject to their power.
43He rescued them many times,
but they continued to plot rebellion against him
and to sink deeper because of their sin.
44He saw that they were suffering
when he heard their cry for help.
45He remembered his promise #106:45 Or “covenant.” to them.
In keeping with his rich mercy, he changed his plans.
46He let them find compassion
from all those who held them captive.
47Rescue us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations
so that we may give thanks to your holy name
and make your praise our glory.
48Thanks be to the Lord God of Israel
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say amen.
Hallelujah!
