Psalm 106:39–48

Thus they became unclean by their acts,

and played the whore in their deeds.

Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,

and he abhorred his heritage;

he gave them into the hand of the nations,

so that those who hated them ruled over them.

Their enemies oppressed them,

and they were brought into subjection under their power.

Many times he delivered them,

but they were rebellious in their purposes

and were brought low through their iniquity.

Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,

when he heard their cry.

For their sake he remembered his covenant,

and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

He caused them to be pitied

by all those who held them captive.

Save us, O Lord our God,

and gather us from among the nations,

that we may give thanks to your holy name

and glory in your praise.

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting!

And let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord!

They defiled themselves by what they did;

by their deeds they prostituted themselves.

Therefore the Lord was angry with his people

and abhorred his inheritance.

He gave them into the hands of the nations,

and their foes ruled over them.

Their enemies oppressed them

and subjected them to their power.

Many times he delivered them,

but they were bent on rebellion

and they wasted away in their sin.

Yet he took note of their distress

when he heard their cry;

for their sake he remembered his covenant

and out of his great love he relented.

He caused all who held them captive

to show them mercy.

Save us, Lord our God,

and gather us from the nations,

that we may give thanks to your holy name

and glory in your praise.

Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.

Let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord.

They defiled themselves by their actions

and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against his people,

and he abhorred his own inheritance.

He handed them over to the nations;

those who hated them ruled over them.

Their enemies oppressed them,

and they were subdued under their power.

He rescued them many times,

but they continued to rebel deliberately

and were beaten down by their iniquity.

When he heard their cry,

he took note of their distress,

remembered his covenant with them,

and relented according to the abundance

of his faithful love.

He caused them to be pitied

before all their captors.

Save us, Lord our God,

and gather us from the nations,

so that we may give thanks to your holy name

and rejoice in your praise.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.

Let all the people say, “Amen!”

Hallelujah!

They defiled themselves by their evil deeds,

and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight.

That is why the Lord’s anger burned against his people,

and he abhorred his own special possession.

He handed them over to pagan nations,

and they were ruled by those who hated them.

Their enemies crushed them

and brought them under their cruel power.

Again and again he rescued them,

but they chose to rebel against him,

and they were finally destroyed by their sin.

Even so, he pitied them in their distress

and listened to their cries.

He remembered his covenant with them

and relented because of his unfailing love.

He even caused their captors

to treat them with kindness.

Save us, O Lord our God!

Gather us back from among the nations,

so we can thank your holy name

and rejoice and praise you.

Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,

who lives from everlasting to everlasting!

Let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the Lord!

And they became unclean by their works,

and were unfaithful in their deeds.

So Yahweh’s anger burned against his people,

and he abhorred his inheritance.

Then he gave them into the hand of the nations,

and those who hated them ruled over them.

And their enemies oppressed them,

and they were subdued under their hand.

Many times he delivered them,

but they rebelled in their counsel,

and were brought low by their iniquity.

Yet he looked upon their distress

when he heard their cry.

And he remembered his covenant with them,

and relented based on the abundance of his loyal love.

And he let them find compassion

before all their captors.

Save us, O Yahweh our God,

and gather us from the nations,

so that we may give thanks to your holy name

and boast in your praise.

Blessed is Yahweh, the God of Israel,

from everlasting and to everlasting.

And let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise Yah.

Thus were they defiled with their own works,

And went a whoring with their own inventions.

Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people,

Insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen;

And they that hated them ruled over them.

Their enemies also oppressed them,

And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Many times did he deliver them;

But they provoked him with their counsel,

And were brought low for their iniquity.

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction,

When he heard their cry:

And he remembered for them his covenant,

And repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

He made them also to be pitied

Of all those that carried them captives.

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.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting:

And let all the people say, Amen.

Praise ye the Lord.
