Psalm 106:1–18

Give Thanks to the Lord, for He Is Good

106ⁱPraise the Lord!

^jOh give thanks to the Lord, ^kfor he is good,

^lfor his steadfast love endures forever!

²Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord,

or declare all his praise?

³Blessed are they who observe justice,

who ^mdo righteousness at all times!

⁴ⁿRemember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people;

help me when you save them,¹

⁵that I may look upon the prosperity of your ^ochosen ones,

that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,

that I may glory with your inheritance.

^6pBoth we and ^qour fathers have sinned;

we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.

⁷Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,

did not consider your wondrous works;

they ^rdid not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,

but ^srebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

⁸Yet he saved them ^tfor his name’s sake,

^uthat he might make known his mighty power.

⁹He ^vrebuked the Red Sea, and it ^wbecame dry,

and he ^xled them through the deep as through a desert.

¹⁰So he ^ysaved them from the hand of the foe

and ^zredeemed them from the power of the enemy.

¹¹And ^athe waters covered their adversaries;

not one of them was left.

¹²Then ^bthey believed his words;

they ^csang his praise.

¹³But they soon ^dforgot his works;

they did not wait for ^ehis counsel.

¹⁴But they had ^fa wanton craving in the wilderness,

and ^gput God to the test in the desert;

¹⁵he ^hgave them what they asked,

but sent ⁱa wasting disease among them.

¹⁶When men in the camp ^jwere jealous of Moses

and Aaron, ^kthe holy one of the Lord,

^17lthe earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,

and covered the company of Abiram.

^18mFire also broke out in their company;

the flame burned up the wicked.
