Psalms

106:1		Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
106:2		Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?
106:3		Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
106:4		Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
106:5		That 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.
106:6		We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
106:7		Our 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.
106:8		Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
106:9		He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
106:10		And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
106:11		And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
106:12		Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
106:13		They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
106:14		But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
106:15		And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
106:16		They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
106:17		The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
106:18		And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
106:19		They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
106:20		Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
106:21		They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
106:22		Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
106:23		Therefore 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.
106:24		Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
106:25		But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
106:26		Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
106:27		To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
106:28		They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
106:29		Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
106:30		Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
106:31		And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
106:32		They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
106:33		Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
106:34		They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
106:35		But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
106:36		And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
106:37		Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
106:38		And 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.
106:39		Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
106:40		Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
106:41		And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
106:42		Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
106:43		Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
106:44		Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
106:45		And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
106:46		He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
106:47		Save 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.
106:48		Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
