106:1  Praise the Lord! Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
106:2  Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can declare all His praise?
106:3  Blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times!
106:4  Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation,
106:5  That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance.
106:6  We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, We have done wickedly.
106:7  Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.
106:8  Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, That He might make His mighty power known.
106:9  He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; So He led them through the depths, As through the wilderness.
106:10  He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
106:11  The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.
106:12  Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.
106:13  They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,
106:14  But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tested God in the desert.
106:15  And He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.
106:16  When they envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron the saint of the Lord,
106:17  The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan, And covered the faction of Abiram.
106:18  A fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.
106:19  They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped the molded image.
106:20  Thus they changed their glory Into the image of an ox that eats grass.
106:21  They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
106:22  Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Awesome things by the Red Sea.
106:23  Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them.
106:24  Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word,
106:25  But complained in their tents, And did not heed the voice of the Lord.
106:26  Therefore He raised His hand in an oath against them, To overthrow them in the wilderness,
106:27  To overthrow their descendants among the nations, And to scatter them in the lands.
106:28  They joined themselves also to Baal of Peor, And ate sacrifices made to the dead.
106:29  Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.
106:30  Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, And the plague was stopped.
106:31  And that was accounted to him for righteousness To all generations forevermore.
106:32  They angered Him also at the waters of strife, So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;
106:33  Because they rebelled against His Spirit, So that he spoke rashly with his lips.
106:34  They did not destroy the peoples, Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,
106:35  But they mingled with the Gentiles And learned their works;
106:36  They served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
106:37  They even sacrificed their sons And their daughters to demons,
106:38  And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
106:39  Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds.
106:40  Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people, So that He abhorred His own inheritance.
106:41  And He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, And those who hated them ruled over them.
106:42  Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
106:43  Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, And were brought low for their iniquity.
106:44  Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, When He heard their cry;
106:45  And for their sake He remembered His covenant, And relented according to the multitude of His mercies.
106:46  He also made them to be pitied By all those who carried them away captive.
106:47  Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.
106:48  Blessed be the Lord God of Israel From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord!
