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.

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!

Psalm 106
106
1Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good:
For his mercy endureth for ever.
2Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD?
Who can shew forth all his praise?
3Blessed are they that keep judgment,
And he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people:
O visit me with thy salvation;
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.
6We have sinned with our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7Our 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.
8Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake,
That he might make his mighty power to be known.
9He rebuked 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 believed they his words;
They sang his praise.
13They soon forgat his works;
They waited not for his counsel:
14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
And tempted God in the desert.
15And he gave them their request;
But sent leanness into their soul.
16They envied Moses also 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 eateth grass.
21They forgat God their saviour,
Which had done great things in Egypt;
22Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
And terrible things by 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.
24Yea, they despised the pleasant land,
They believed not his word:
25But murmured in their tents,
And hearkened not 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 nations,
And to scatter them in the lands.
28They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor,
And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions:
And the plague brake in upon them.
30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment:
And so the plague was stayed.
31And that was counted unto him for righteousness
Unto all generations 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,
So that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34They did not destroy the nations,
Concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
35But were mingled among
the heathen, and learned their works.
36And they served their idols: Which were a snare unto them.
37Yea, 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 were they 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 heathen;
And they that hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43Many times did he deliver them;
But they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
44Nevertheless he regarded their affliction,
When he heard their cry:
45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
47Save 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.
48Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting:
And let all the people say, Amen.
Praise ye the LORD.
