Psalm 106:1-48 BSB

[1] Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever. [2] Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise? [3] Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times. [4] Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation, [5] that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance. [6] We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly. [7] Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea. [8] Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known. [9] He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert. [10] He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. [11] The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained. [12] Then they believed His promises and sang His praise. [13] Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel. [14] They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert. [15] So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them. [16] In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD. [17] The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram. [18] Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked. [19] At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped a molten image. [20] They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox. [21] They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt, [22] wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. [23] So He said He would destroy them—had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them. [24] They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise. [25] They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD. [26] So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness, [27] to disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. [28] They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods. [29] So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them. [30] But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained. [31] It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come. [32] At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them. [33] For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips. [34] They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them, [35] but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. [36] They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. [37] They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. [38] They shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. [39] They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds. [40] So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance. [41] He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them. [42] Their enemies oppressed them and subdued them under their hand. [43] Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity. [44] Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress. [45] And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion. [46] He made them objects of compassion to all who held them captive. [47] Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise. [48] Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!
