106:1
Praise[H1984] ye the LORD[H3050]. O give thanks[H3034] unto the LORD[H3068]; for he is good[H2896]: for his mercy[H2617] endureth for ever[H5769].
106:2
Who can utter[H4448] the mighty acts[H1369] of the LORD[H3068]? who can shew forth[H8085] all his praise[H8416]?
106:3
Blessed[H835] are they that keep[H8104] judgment[H4941], and he that doeth[H6213] righteousness[H6666] at all times[H6256].
106:4
Remember[H2142] me, O LORD[H3068], with the favour[H7522] that thou bearest unto thy people[H5971]: O visit[H6485] me with thy salvation[H3444];
106:5
That I may see[H7200] the good[H2896] of thy chosen[H972], that I may rejoice[H8055] in the gladness[H8057] of thy nation[H1471], that I may glory[H1984] with thine inheritance[H5159].
106:6
We have sinned[H2398] with our fathers[H1], we have committed iniquity[H5753], we have done wickedly[H7561].
106:7
Our fathers[H1] understood[H7919] not thy wonders[H6381] in Egypt[H4714]; they remembered[H2142] not the multitude[H7230] of thy mercies[H2617]; but provoked[H4784] him at the sea[H3220], even at the Red[H5488] sea.
106:8
Nevertheless he saved[H3467] them for his name's[H8034] sake, that he might make his mighty power[H1369] to be known[H3045].
106:9
He rebuked[H1605] the Red[H5488] sea[H3220] also, and it was dried up[H2717]: so he led[H3212] them through the depths[H8415], as through the wilderness[H4057].
106:10
And he saved[H3467] them from the hand[H3027] of him that hated[H8130] them, and redeemed[H1350] them from the hand of the enemy[H341].
106:11
And the waters[H4325] covered[H3680] their enemies[H6862]: there was not one[H259] of them left[H3498].
106:12
Then believed[H539] they his words[H1697]; they sang[H7891] his praise[H8416].
106:13
They soon[H4116] forgat[H7911] his works[H4639]; they waited[H2442] not for his counsel[H6098]:
106:14
But lusted[H183] exceedingly[H8378] in the wilderness[H4057], and tempted[H5254] God[H410] in the desert[H3452].
106:15
And he gave[H5414] them their request[H7596]; but sent[H7971] leanness[H7332] into their soul[H5315].
106:16
They envied[H7065] Moses[H4872] also in the camp[H4264], and Aaron[H175] the saint[H6918] of the LORD[H3068].
106:17
The earth[H776] opened[H6605] and swallowed up[H1104] Dathan[H1885], and covered[H3680] the company[H5712] of Abiram[H48].
106:18
And a fire[H784] was kindled[H1197] in their company[H5712]; the flame[H3852] burned up[H3857] the wicked[H7563].
106:19
They made[H6213] a calf[H5695] in Horeb[H2722], and worshipped[H7812] the molten image[H4541].
106:20
Thus they changed[H4171] their glory[H3519] into the similitude[H8403] of an ox[H7794] that eateth[H398] grass[H6212].
106:21
They forgat[H7911] God[H410] their saviour[H3467], which had done[H6213] great things[H1419] in Egypt[H4714];
106:22
Wondrous works[H6381] in the land[H776] of Ham[H2526], and terrible things[H3372] by the Red[H5488] sea[H3220].
106:23
Therefore he said[H559] that he would destroy[H8045] them, had not[H3884] Moses[H4872] his chosen[H972] stood[H5975] before[H6440] him in the breach[H6556], to turn away[H7725] his wrath[H2534], lest he should destroy[H7843] them.
106:24
Yea, they despised[H3988] the pleasant[H2532] land[H776], they believed[H539] not his word[H1697]:
106:25
But murmured[H7279] in their tents[H168], and hearkened[H8085] not unto the voice[H6963] of the LORD[H3068].
106:26
Therefore he lifted up[H5375] his hand[H3027] against them, to overthrow[H5307] them in the wilderness[H4057]:
106:27
To overthrow[H5307] their seed[H2233] also among the nations[H1471], and to scatter[H2219] them in the lands[H776].
106:28
They joined[H6775] themselves also unto Baalpeor[H1187], and ate[H398] the sacrifices[H2077] of the dead[H4191].
106:29
Thus they provoked him to anger[H3707] with their inventions[H4611]: and the plague[H4046] brake in[H6555] upon them.
106:30
Then stood up[H5975] Phinehas[H6372], and executed judgment[H6419]: and so the plague[H4046] was stayed[H6113].
106:31
And that was counted[H2803] unto him for[H5704] righteousness[H6666] unto all[H1755] generations[H1755] for evermore[H5769].
106:32
They angered[H7107] him also at the waters[H4325] of strife[H4808], so that it went ill[H3415] with Moses[H4872] for their sakes:
106:33
Because they provoked[H4784] his spirit[H7307], so that he spake unadvisedly[H981] with his lips[H8193].
106:34
They did not destroy[H8045] the nations[H5971], concerning whom the LORD[H3068] commanded[H559] them:
106:35
But were mingled[H6148] among the heathen[H1471], and learned[H3925] their works[H4639].
106:36
And they served[H5647] their idols[H6091]: which were a snare[H4170] unto them.
106:37
Yea, they sacrificed[H2076] their sons[H1121] and their daughters[H1323] unto devils[H7700],
106:38
And shed[H8210] innocent[H5355] blood[H1818], even the blood of their sons[H1121] and of their daughters[H1323], whom they sacrificed[H2076] unto the idols[H6091] of Canaan[H3667]: and the land[H776] was polluted[H2610] with blood.
106:39
Thus were they defiled[H2930] with their own works[H4639], and went a whoring[H2181] with their own inventions[H4611].
106:40
Therefore was the wrath[H639] of the LORD[H3068] kindled[H2734] against his people[H5971], insomuch that he abhorred[H8581] his own inheritance[H5159].
106:41
And he gave[H5414] them into the hand[H3027] of the heathen[H1471]; and they that hated[H8130] them ruled[H4910] over them.
106:42
Their enemies[H341] also oppressed[H3905] them, and they were brought into subjection[H3665] under their hand[H3027].
106:43
Many[H7227] times[H6471] did he deliver[H5337] them; but they provoked[H4784] him with their counsel[H6098], and were brought low[H4355] for their iniquity[H5771].
106:44
Nevertheless he regarded[H7200] their affliction[H6862], when he heard[H8085] their cry[H7440]:
106:45
And he remembered[H2142] for them his covenant[H1285], and repented[H5162] according to the multitude[H7230] of his mercies[H2617].
106:46
He made[H5414] them also to be pitied[H7356] of[H6440] all those that carried them captives[H7617].
106:47
Save[H3467] us, O LORD[H3068] our God[H430], and gather[H6908] us from among the heathen[H1471], to give thanks[H3034] unto thy holy[H6944] name[H8034], and to triumph[H7623] in thy praise[H8416].
106:48
Blessed[H1288] be the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel[H3478] from everlasting[H5769] to everlasting: and let all the people[H5971] say[H559], Amen[H543]. Praise[H1984] ye the LORD.
