Psalm 106:1–18

Israel’s Rebelliousness and the Lord’s Deliverances.

¹¹Praise ²the Lord!

Oh ^agive thanks to the Lord, for He ^bis good;

For ^cHis lovingkindness is everlasting.

²Who can speak of the ^amighty deeds of the Lord,

Or can show forth all His praise?

³How blessed are those who keep ¹justice,

²Who ^apractice righteousness at all times!

⁴Remember me, O Lord, in Your ^afavor ¹toward Your people;

Visit me with Your salvation,

⁵That I may see the ^aprosperity of Your chosen ones,

That I may ^brejoice in the gladness of Your nation,

That I may ^cglory with Your ¹inheritance.

^6aWe have sinned ^1blike our fathers,

We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

⁷Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your ¹wonders;

They ^adid not remember ²Your abundant kindnesses,

But ^brebelled by the sea, at the ³Red Sea.

⁸Nevertheless He saved them ^afor the sake of His name,

That He might ^bmake His power known.

⁹Thus He ^arebuked the ¹Red Sea and it ^bdried up,

And He ^cled them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.

¹⁰So He ^asaved them from the ¹hand of the one who hated them,

And ^bredeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

^11aThe waters covered their adversaries;

Not one of them was left.

¹²Then they ^abelieved His words;

They ^bsang His praise.

¹³They quickly ^aforgot His works;

They ^bdid not wait for His counsel,

¹⁴But ^acraved intensely in the wilderness,

And ^1btempted God in the desert.

¹⁵So He ^agave them their request,

But ^bsent a ¹wasting disease among them.

¹⁶When they became ^aenvious of Moses in the camp,

And of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,

¹⁷The ^aearth opened and swallowed up Dathan,

And engulfed the ¹company of Abiram.

¹⁸And a ^afire blazed up in their ¹company;

The flame consumed the wicked.
