Psalms 106

Adonai Still Faithful to Israel
1Halleluyah! Praise Adonai, for He is good, for His lovingkindness endures forever.
2Who can speak of Adonai’s mighty acts or declare His praise?
3Blessed are those who maintain justice, who do what is right at all times.
4Remember me, Adonai, when You show favor to Your people. Visit me with Your salvation,
5so I may behold the prosperity of Your chosen ones, exult in the joy of Your nation, and give praise with Your inheritance.
6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly.
7Our fathers in Egypt did not ponder Your wonders. Nor did they remember Your abundant lovingkindness, but rebelled by the sea— at the Sea of Reeds.
8Yet He saved them for His Name’s sake, to make His mighty power known.
9He rebuked the Sea of Reeds and it dried up, and He led them through the depths as through a wilderness.
10So He saved them from the hand of those who hated them, redeemed them from the enemy’s hand.
11The waters covered their adversaries— not one of them was left.
12Then they believed His words. They were singing His praise.
13How quickly they forgot His works, and would not wait for His counsel!
14In the wilderness they craved ravenously, in the desert they tested God.
15So He gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them.
16Then they envied Moses in the camp, and also Aaron, the holy one of Adonai.
17The earth opened up, swallowed Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18Also a fire blazed in their company, a flame consumed the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped a molten image.
20Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a grass-eating ox.
21They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt—
22miracles in the land of Ham, awesome things by the Sea of Reeds.
23So He commanded their extermination, had not Moses, His chosen one, stood in the breach before Him, to turn His wrath from destroying them.
24Then they scorned the pleasing land— they did not trust in His word.
25Instead, they grumbled in their tents. They would not listen to Adonai’s voice.
26Therefore He swore to them that He would make them fall in the desert,
27and disperse their offspring among the nations, and scatter them through the lands.
28Then they yoked themselves to Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of dead things.
29So they provoked Him with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
30But Phinehas stood up and intervened, so the plague was stopped.
31It was credited to him as righteousness, from generation to generation forever.
32By the waters of Meribah they angered Him, and trouble came on Moses because of them.
33For they embittered his spirit and he spoke rashly with his lips.
34They did not destroy the peoples, as Adonai had commanded them.
35Instead they mingled with the nations and learned their practices.
36They worshipped their idols, which became a snare to them.
37They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38They shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and their daughters, sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. So the land was desecrated with blood.
39So they defiled themselves by their deeds, and prostituted themselves by their practices.
40Therefore the anger of Adonai was kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.
41He handed them to the nations— those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies oppressed them, so they were subdued under their hand.
43Many times He delivered them, but they kept rebelling deliberately, and so sank low into their iniquity.
44Yet He saw their distress, when He heard their cry,
45remembered His covenant to them, and relented in the greatness of His mercy.
46He caused them to be pitied in the presence of all their captors.
47Save us, Adonai our God, and gather us from the nations, so we may praise Your holy Name and triumph in Your praise.
48Blessed be Adonai, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen!” Halleluyah!

Psalms 106
106
1Praise the Lord!
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!
His faithful love endures forever.
2Who can list the glorious miracles of the Lord?
Who can ever praise him enough?
3There is joy for those who deal justly with others
and always do what is right.
4Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people;
come near and rescue me.
5Let me share in the prosperity of your chosen ones.
Let me rejoice in the joy of your people;
let me praise you with those who are your heritage.
6Like our ancestors, we have sinned.
We have done wrong! We have acted wickedly!
7Our ancestors in Egypt
were not impressed by the Lord’s miraculous deeds.
They soon forgot his many acts of kindness to them.
Instead, they rebelled against him at the Red Sea.#106:7 Hebrew at the sea, the sea of reeds.
8Even so, he saved them—
to defend the honor of his name
and to demonstrate his mighty power.
9He commanded the Red Sea#106:9 Hebrew sea of reeds; also in 106:22. to dry up.
He led Israel across the sea as if it were a desert.
10So he rescued them from their enemies
and redeemed them from their foes.
11Then the water returned and covered their enemies;
not one of them survived.
12Then his people believed his promises.
Then they sang his praise.
13Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done!
They wouldn’t wait for his counsel!
14In the wilderness their desires ran wild,
testing God’s patience in that dry wasteland.
15So he gave them what they asked for,
but he sent a plague along with it.
16The people in the camp were jealous of Moses
and envious of Aaron, the Lord’s holy priest.
17Because of this, the earth opened up;
it swallowed Dathan
and buried Abiram and the other rebels.
18Fire fell upon their followers;
a flame consumed the wicked.
19The people made a calf at Mount Sinai#106:19 Hebrew at Horeb, another name for Sinai.;
they bowed before an image made of gold.
20They traded their glorious God
for a statue of a grass-eating bull.
21They forgot God, their savior,
who had done such great things in Egypt—
22such wonderful things in the land of Ham,
such awesome deeds at the Red Sea.
23So he declared he would destroy them.
But Moses, his chosen one, stepped between the Lord and the people.
He begged him to turn from his anger and not destroy them.
24The people refused to enter the pleasant land,
for they wouldn’t believe his promise to care for them.
25Instead, they grumbled in their tents
and refused to obey the Lord.
26Therefore, he solemnly swore
that he would kill them in the wilderness,
27that he would scatter their descendants#106:27 As in Syriac version; Hebrew reads he would cause their descendants to fall. among the nations,
exiling them to distant lands.
28Then our ancestors joined in the worship of Baal at Peor;
they even ate sacrifices offered to the dead!
29They angered the Lord with all these things,
so a plague broke out among them.
30But Phinehas had the courage to intervene,
and the plague was stopped.
31So he has been regarded as a righteous man
ever since that time.
32At Meribah, too, they angered the Lord,
causing Moses serious trouble.
33They made Moses angry,#106:33 Hebrew They embittered his spirit.
and he spoke foolishly.
34Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land,
as the Lord had commanded them.
35Instead, they mingled among the pagans
and adopted their evil customs.
36They worshiped their idols,
which led to their downfall.
37They even sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to the demons.
38They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters.
By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan,
they polluted the land with murder.
39They defiled themselves by their evil deeds,
and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight.
40That is why the Lord’s anger burned against his people,
and he abhorred his own special possession.
41He handed them over to pagan nations,
and they were ruled by those who hated them.
42Their enemies crushed them
and brought them under their cruel power.
43Again and again he rescued them,
but they chose to rebel against him,
and they were finally destroyed by their sin.
44Even so, he pitied them in their distress
and listened to their cries.
45He remembered his covenant with them
and relented because of his unfailing love.
46He even caused their captors
to treat them with kindness.
47Save us, O Lord our God!
Gather us back from among the nations,
so we can thank your holy name
and rejoice and praise you.
48Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,
who lives from everlasting to everlasting!
Let all the people say, “Amen!”
Praise the Lord!
