Psalm 106:1-48 WEB

[1] Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. [2] Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise? [3] Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times. [4] Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation, [5] that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance. [6] We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly. [7] Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea. [8] Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known. [9] He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert. [10] He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. [11] The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left. [12] Then they believed his words. They sang his praise. [13] They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel, [14] but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland. [15] He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul. [16] They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint. [17] The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. [18] A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked. [19] They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image. [20] Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass. [21] They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, [22] wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea. [23] Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them. [24] Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word, [25] but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice. [26] Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness, [27] that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands. [28] They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. [29] Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them. [30] Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped. [31] That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come. [32] They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes; [33] because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips. [34] They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them, [35] but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works. [36] They served their idols, which became a snare to them. [37] Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. [38] They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood. [39] Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds. [40] Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance. [41] He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them. [42] Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand. [43] He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity. [44] Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry. [45] He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses. [46] He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive. [47] Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise! [48] Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah!
