Psalm 106:1-48 LSB

[1] Praise Yah! Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever. [2] Who can speak of the mighty deeds of Yahweh, Or can make all His praise to be heard? [3] How blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times! [4] Remember me, O Yahweh, in Your favor toward Your people; Visit me with Your salvation, [5] That I may see the goodness of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may boast with Your inheritance. [6] We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly. [7] Our fathers in Egypt did not consider Your wondrous deeds; They did not remember Your abundant lovingkindnesses, But they rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea. [8] Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, That He might make His might known. [9] Thus He rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up, And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness. [10] So He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. [11] The waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left. [12] Then they believed His words; They sang His praise. [13] They quickly forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel, [14] But craved intensely in the wilderness, And put God to the test in the wasteland. [15] So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease against their lives. [16] Then they became envious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of Yahweh, [17] The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered up the company of Abiram. [18] And a fire burned up in their company; The flame consumed the wicked. [19] They made a calf in Horeb And worshiped a molten image. [20] Thus they exchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass. [21] They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt, [22] Wondrous deeds in the land of Ham And awesome things by the Red Sea. [23] Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him, To turn away His wrath from eradicating them. [24] Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe in His word, [25] But grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of Yahweh. [26] So He swore to them To make them fall in the wilderness, [27] And to make their seed fall among the nations And to scatter them in the lands. [28] They then joined themselves to Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead. [29] Thus they provoked Him to anger with their actions, And the plague broke out among them. [30] Then Phinehas stood up and interceded, And so the plague was checked. [31] And it was counted to him for righteousness, From generation to generation forever. [32] They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, So that it went badly with Moses on their account; [33] Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips. [34] They did not destroy the peoples, As Yahweh commanded them, [35] But they mingled with the nations And learned their works, [36] And served their idols, Which became a snare to them. [37] They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons, [38] And they shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with the blood. [39] Thus they became unclean in their works, And played the harlot in their actions. [40] So the anger of Yahweh was kindled against His people And He abhorred His inheritance. [41] Then He gave them into the hand of the nations, And those who hated them ruled over them. [42] Their enemies oppressed them, And they were subdued under their hand. [43] Many times He would deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And so they sank down in their iniquity. [44] Nevertheless He looked upon their distress When He heard their cry of lamentation; [45] And He remembered for them His covenant, And relented according to the abundance of His lovingkindness. [46] He also made them objects of compassion In the presence of all their captors. [47] Save us, O Yahweh our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name And revel in Your praise. [48] Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah!
