Psalms 106
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

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!
