Psalm 106:1-48 NET

[1] Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, and his loyal love endures. [2] Who can adequately recount the LORD's mighty acts, or relate all his praiseworthy deeds? [3] How blessed are those who promote justice, and do what is right all the time. [4] Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people. Pay attention to me, when you deliver, [5] so I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, rejoice along with your nation, and boast along with the people who belong to you. [6] We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, we have done evil. [7] Our ancestors in Egypt failed to appreciate your miraculous deeds. They failed to remember your many acts of loyal love, and they rebelled at the sea, by the Red Sea. [8] Yet he delivered them for the sake of his reputation, that he might reveal his power. [9] He shouted at the Red Sea and it dried up; he led them through the deep water as if it were a desert. [10] He delivered them from the power of the one who hated them, and rescued them from the power of the enemy. [11] The water covered their enemies; not even one of them survived. [12] They believed his promises; they sang praises to him. [13] They quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions. [14] In the wilderness they had an insatiable craving for meat; they challenged God in the wastelands. [15] He granted their request, then struck them with a disease. [16] In the camp they resented Moses, and Aaron, the LORD's holy priest. [17] The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it engulfed the group led by Abiram. [18] Fire burned their group; the flames scorched the wicked. [19] They made an image of a calf at Horeb, and worshiped a metal idol. [20] They traded their majestic God for the image of an ox that eats grass. [21] They rejected the God who delivered them, the one who performed great deeds in Egypt, [22] amazing feats in the land of Ham, mighty acts by the Red Sea. [23] He threatened to destroy them, but Moses, his chosen one, interceded with him and turned back his destructive anger. [24] They rejected the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise. [25] They grumbled in their tents; they did not obey the LORD. [26] So he made a solemn vow that he would make them die in the wilderness, [27] make their descendants die among the nations, and scatter them among foreign lands. [28] They worshiped Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead. [29] They made the LORD angry by their actions, and a plague broke out among them. [30] Phinehas took a stand and intervened, and the plague subsided. [31] This was credited to Phinehas as a righteous act for all generations to come. [32] They made him angry by the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them, [33] for they aroused his temper, and he spoke rashly. [34] They did not destroy the nations, as the LORD had commanded them to do. [35] They mixed in with the nations and learned their ways. [36] They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. [37] They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons. [38] They shed innocent blood-the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted by bloodshed. [39] They were defiled by their deeds, and unfaithful in their actions. [40] So the LORD was angry with his people and despised the people who belonged to him. [41] He handed them over to the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them. [42] Their enemies oppressed them; they were subject to their authority. [43] Many times he delivered them, but they had a rebellious attitude, and degraded themselves by their sin. [44] Yet he took notice of their distress, when he heard their cry for help. [45] He remembered his covenant with them, and relented because of his great loyal love. [46] He caused all their conquerors to have pity on them. [47] Deliver us, O LORD, our God. Gather us from among the nations. Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds. [48] The LORD God of Israel deserves praise, in the future and forevermore. Let all the people say, "We agree! Praise the LORD!"
