Psalm 106:1-48 MEV

[1] Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever. [2] Who can recount the mighty acts of the LORD or declare all His praise? [3] Blessed are those who keep justice and who do righteousness at all times. [4] Remember me, O LORD, when You give favor to Your people; visit me with Your deliverance, [5] that I may see the goodness over Your chosen ones, 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 did not consider Your wonders in Egypt; they did not remember the greatness of Your mercy, but rebelled against Him at the sea, by 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, and it was dried up, so He led them through the depths as through the wilderness. [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 enemies; there was not one of them left. [12] Then they believed His words; they sang His praise. [13] But they soon forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel, [14] but they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness and tested God in the desert. [15] He gave them their request, but He sent a wasting disease on them. [16] They envied in the camp Moses and Aaron, the holy priest of the LORD. [17] The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and engulfed those led by Abiram. [18] A fire broke out among their company; the flame burned up the wicked. [19] They made a calf at Horeb, and worshipped the molded image. [20] Thus they changed the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass. [21] They forgot God, their Deliverer, who had done great things in Egypt, [22] wondrous works in the land of Ham, and marvelous deeds by the Red Sea. [23] Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses, His chosen one, stood before Him to intercede, to turn away His wrath from destroying them. [24] Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise, [25] but they grumbled in their tents, and did not listen to the voice of the LORD. [26] Therefore He lifted up His hand against them and swore to overthrow them in the wilderness, [27] and to overthrow their offspring among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. [28] They joined themselves to Baal of Peor and ate the sacrifices given for the dead. [29] Thus they provoked Him to anger with their acts, and a plague broke out upon them. [30] Then Phinehas stood up and interceded, and so the plague ceased. [31] That was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations forever. [32] They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses suffered because of them, [33] because they provoked his temper, so that he spoke impulsively with his lips. [34] They did not destroy the nations as the LORD commanded them, [35] but they mixed among the nations and learned their deeds; [36] they served their idols, which were a snare to them. [37] Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, [38] and poured out innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. [39] Thus were they defiled by their acts and acted like whores with these actions. [40] Therefore the wrath of the LORD was kindled against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance. [41] He gave them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them. [42] Their enemies also oppressed them, and Israel was brought into subjection under their powerful hand. [43] Many times He delivered them, but they were rebellious against Him with their counsel, and were afflicted for their iniquity. [44] Nevertheless, He regarded their affliction, when He heard their cry: [45] and He remembered on their behalf His covenant and relented according to the greatness of His mercies. [46] He made them pitied among all those who held them captive. [47] Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto Your holy name and to boast in Your praise. [48] Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, and let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD!
