Psalm 106:12–14

12 Then they believed his promises

and sang his praise.

13 But they soon forgot what he had done

and did not wait for his plan to unfold.

14 In the desert they gave in to their craving;

in the wilderness they put God to the test.

12 Then believed they his words;

They sang his praise.

13 They soon forgat his works;

They waited not for his counsel:

14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,

And tempted God in the desert.

12 Then his people believed his promises.

Then they sang his praise.

13 Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done!

They wouldn’t wait for his counsel!

14 In the wilderness their desires ran wild,

testing God’s patience in that dry wasteland.

12 Then they believed His words;

They sang His praise.

13 They soon forgot His works;

They did not wait for His counsel,

14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,

And tested God in the desert.

12 Then the people believed what the Lord said,

and they sang praises to him.

13 But they quickly forgot what he had done;

they did not wait for his advice.

14 They became greedy for food in the desert,

and they tested God there.

12 Then believed they his words;

They sang his praise.

13 They soon forgat his works;

They waited not for his counsel,

14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,

And tempted God in the desert.

12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

13 They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel: 14 And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted •God in the desert.

12 Then our ancestors believed what he said. 

They sang his praise. 

13 They quickly forgot what he did. 

They did not wait for his advice. 

14 They had an unreasonable desire ⸤for food⸥ in the wilderness. 

In the desert they tested God. 

12 Then they believed His promises

and sang His praise.

13 They soon forgot His works

and would not wait for His counsel.

14 They were seized with craving in the wilderness

and tested God in the desert.

12 Then they believed his words;

they sang his praise.

13 But they soon forgot his works;

they did not wait for his counsel.

14 But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness

and put God to the test in the desert;

12 Then they believed his words;

they sang his praise.

13 They quickly forgot his works;

they did not wait for his counsel.

14 And they craved intensely in the wilderness,

and tested God in the desert.

12 Then his people believed his promises

and sang praise to him.

13 But they soon forgot what he had done.

They didn’t wait for his advice.

14 In the desert they longed for food.

In that dry and empty land they put God to the test.

12 Then they believed His words;

They sang His praise.

13 They quickly forgot His works;

They did not wait for His counsel,

14 But craved intensely in the wilderness,

And tempted God in the desert.
