Psalms 106

1 Ref Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

2 Ref Who is able to give an account of the great acts of the Lord, or to make clear all his praise?

3 Ref Happy are they whose decisions are upright, and he who does righteousness at all times.

4 Ref Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;

5 Ref So that I may see the well-being of the people of your selection, and have a part in the joy of your nation, and take pride in your heritage.

6 Ref We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.

7 Ref Our fathers did not give thought to your wonders in Egypt; they did not keep in memory the great number of your mercies, but gave you cause for wrath at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

8 Ref But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.

9 Ref By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.

10 Ref And he took them safely out of the hands of their haters, and kept them from the attacks of those who were against them.

11 Ref And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.

12 Ref Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.

13 Ref But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

14 Ref They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.

15 Ref And he gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease into their souls.

16 Ref They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.

17 Ref The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.

18 Ref And a fire was lighted among their tents; the sinners were burned up by the flames.

19 Ref They made a young ox in Horeb, and gave worship to an image of gold.

20 Ref And their glory was changed into the image of an ox, whose food is grass.

21 Ref They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

22 Ref Works of wonder in the land of Ham, and things of fear by the Red Sea.

23 Ref And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.

24 Ref They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;

25 Ref Talking against him secretly in their tents, they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord.

26 Ref So he made an oath against them, to put an end to them in the waste land:

27 Ref That their children might be mixed among the nations, and sent away into other lands.

28 Ref And they were joined to Baal-peor, and took part in the offerings to the dead.

29 Ref So they made him angry by their behaviour; and he sent disease on them.

30 Ref Then Phinehas got up, and made prayer for them; and the disease went no farther.

31 Ref And all the generations coming after him kept the memory of his righteousness for ever.

32 Ref They made God angry again at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled because of them;

33 Ref For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things.

34 Ref They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said;

35 Ref But they were joined to the nations, learning their works.

36 Ref And they gave worship to images; which were a danger to them:

37 Ref They even made offerings of their sons and their daughters to evil spirits,

38 Ref And gave the blood of their sons and their daughters who had done no wrong, offering them to the images of Canaan; and the land was made unclean with blood.

39 Ref So they became unclean through their works, going after their evil desires.

40 Ref Then the wrath of the Lord was burning against his people, and he was angry with his heritage.

41 Ref And he gave them into the hands of the nations; and they were ruled by their haters.

42 Ref By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.

43 Ref Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.

44 Ref But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

45 Ref And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.

46 Ref He put pity into the hearts of those who made them prisoners.

47 Ref Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.

48 Ref Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.
