Psalm 106

Psalm CVI.

Praise ye the Lord.

^aO give thanks unto the Lord; ^bfor he is good:

^cFor 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 ^edoeth righteousness ^fat all times.

^4gRemember 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 ^hthy chosen,

That I may rejoice in the gladness of ⁱthy nation,

That I may glory with thine inheritance.

⁶We have ^ksinned ^lwith our fathers,

^kmWe have committed iniquity, ^knwe have done wickedly.

⁷Our fathers ^ounderstood not thy wonders in Egypt;

They ^premembered not the multitude of thy mercies;

But ^qprovoked him at the sea, even at ^rthe Red sea.

⁸Nevertheless he saved them ^sfor his name’s sake,

That he ^tmight make his mighty power to be known.

^9uHe ^wrebuked the Red sea also, and it was ^xdried up:

So ^yhe led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

¹⁰And ^zhe saved them from the hand of him that hated them,

And ^aredeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹And ^bthe waters covered their enemies:

^cThere was not one of them left.

¹²Then ^dbelieved they his words;

They ^dsang his praise.

^13eThey soon forgat his works;

They ^fwaited not for his counsel:

^14gBut lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,

And ^htempted God in ⁱthe desert.

¹⁵And ^jhe gave them their request;

But sent ^kleanness into their soul.

^16lThey envied Moses also in the camp,

And ^mAaron the saint of the Lord.

¹⁷ⁿThe earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,

And ^ocovered ⁿthe company of Abiram.

¹⁸And ^pa fire was kindled in their company;

^qThe flame burnt up ^rthe wicked.

^19sThey made a calf ^tin Horeb,

And worshipped the molten image.

²⁰Thus ^uthey changed their glory

Into ^xthe similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

²¹They ^yforgat God their saviour,

Which had done ^zgreat things in Egypt;

²²Wondrous works in the land ^aof Ham,

And ^zterrible things by ^bthe Red sea.

^23cTherefore ^dhe said that he would destroy them,

Had not Moses ^ehis chosen stood before him ^fin the breach,

To turn away his wrath, ^glest he should destroy them.

²⁴Yea, ^hthey despised the pleasant land,

They ⁱbelieved not his word:

^25kBut ^lmurmured in their tents,

And hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.

²⁶Therefore ^mhe lifted up his hand against them,

To overthrow them in the wilderness:

²⁷To overthrow their seed also among the nations,

And to ⁿscatter them in the lands.

²⁸They ^ojoined themselves also unto ^pBaal-peor,

And ^qate the sacrifices of ^rthe dead.

²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with ^stheir inventions:

And the plague brake in upon them.

³⁰Then ^tstood up Phinehas, and ^uexecuted judgment:

And so ^tthe plague was stayed.

³¹And ^wthat was counted unto him for righteousness

Unto all generations for evermore.

^32xThey ^yangered him also at the waters of strife,

^zSo that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

³³Because they ^aprovoked his spirit,

^bSo that he ^cspake unadvisedly with his lips.

^34dThey did not destroy the nations,

Concerning whom ^ethe Lord commanded them:

^35fBut were mingled among the heathen,

And learned their works.

³⁶And ^gthey served their idols:

^hWhich were a snare unto them.

³⁷Yea, ⁱthey sacrificed their sons

And their daughters unto ^kdevils,

³⁸And shed innocent blood,

Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,

ⁱWhom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan:

And ^lthe land was polluted with blood.

³⁹Thus were they ^mdefiled with their own works,

And ^mnwent a whoring with ^otheir own inventions.

⁴⁰Therefore ^pwas the wrath of the Lord kindled against ^qhis people,

Insomuch that he abhorred ^qhis own inheritance.

⁴¹And ^phe gave them into ^rthe hand of the heathen;

And they that hated them ruled over them.

⁴²Their enemies also ^soppressed them,

And they were ^tbrought into subjection under their hand.

^43uMany times did he deliver them;

But they ^aprovoked him ^wwith their counsel,

And were brought low for their iniquity.

⁴⁴Nevertheless he regarded ^xtheir affliction,

When ^yhe heard their ^zcry:

⁴⁵And he ^aremembered for them his covenant,

And ^brepented ^caccording to the multitude of his mercies.

^46dHe made them also ^eto be pitied

Of all those that carried them captives.

^47fSave us, O Lord our God,

And ^ggather us from among the heathen,

To give thanks unto thy holy name,

And to triumph in thy praise.

^48hBlessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting:

And let ⁱall the people say, ^kAmen.

Praise ye the Lord.
