106:1  Praise ye the Lord! O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
106:2  Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? Who can show forth all His praise?
106:3  Blessed are they that keep judgment and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
106:4  Remember me, O Lord, with the favor which Thou bearest unto Thy people; O visit me with Thy salvation,
106:5  that I may see the good of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.
106:6  We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
106:7  Our fathers understood not Thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies, but provoked Thee at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
106:8  Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
106:9  He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so He led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
106:10  And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
106:11  And the waters covered their enemies; there was not one of them left.
106:12  Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.
106:13  They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel,
106:14  but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
106:15  And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
106:16  They also envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord.
106:17  The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
106:18  And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
106:19  They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped the molten image.
106:20  Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
106:21  They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
106:22  wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearsome things by the Red Sea.
106:23  Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn away His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
106:24  Yea, they despised the pleasant land; they believed not His word,
106:25  but murmured in their tents and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
106:26  Therefore He lifted up His hand against them to overthrow them in the wilderness,
106:27  to overthrow their seed also among the nations and to scatter them in the lands.
106:28  They joined themselves also with Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices to the dead.
106:29  Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions, and the plague broke in upon them.
106:30  Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
106:31  And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
106:32  They angered Him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes,
106:33  because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
106:34  They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them;
106:35  but they mingled among the heathen and learned their works,
106:36  and they served their idols, which were a snare unto them.
106:37  Yea, they sacrificed their sons and daughters unto devils,
106:38  and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
106:39  Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own schemes.
106:40  Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His own inheritance.
106:41  And He gave them into the hand of the heathen, and they that 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 did He deliver them, but they provoked Him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
106:44  Nevertheless He regarded their affliction when He heard their cry,
106:45  and He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.
106:46  He made them also to be pitied by all those that carried them captive.
106:47  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.
106:48  Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting, and let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise ye the Lord!
