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, or shew 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 favour that thou bearest unto thy people; O visit me with thy salvation:
106:5  That I may see the prosperity 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 were rebellious 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 a 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 adversaries: there was not one of them left.
106:12  Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
106:13  They soon forgat 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 envied Moses also 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 worshipped a molten image.
106:20  Thus they changed their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
106:21  They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
106:22  Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible 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 unto them, that he would overthrow them in the wilderness:
106:27  And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
106:28  They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
106:29  Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; and the plague brake 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 Meribah, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
106:33  Because they were rebellious against his spirit, and he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
106:34  They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them;
106:35  But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works:
106:36  And they served their idols; which became a snare unto them:
106:37  Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
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 works, and went a whoring in their doings.
106:40  Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.
106:41  And he gave them into the hand of the nations; 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 were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
106:44  Nevertheless he regarded their distress, 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 of all those that carried them captives.
106:47  Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
106:48  Blessed be the LORD, the God or Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
