PS-106:1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for
[he is] good:
for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
PS-106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can
show forth all
his praise?
PS-106:3 Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that
doeth
righteousness at all times.
PS-106:4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest
unto] thy
people: O visit me with thy salvation;
PS-106:5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may
rejoice in the
gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
PS-106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed
iniquity, we have
done wickedly.
PS-106:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they
remembered not
the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked [him] at the sea,
[even] at the Red
sea.
PS-106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he
might make
his mighty power to be known.
PS-106:9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he
led them
through the depths, as through the wilderness.
PS-106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated
[them], and
redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
PS-106:11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not
one of them
left.
PS-106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
PS-106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his
counsel:
PS-106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted
God in the
desert.
PS-106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into
their soul.
PS-106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the
saint of the
LORD.
PS-106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered
the company of
Abiram.
PS-106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame
burned up the
wicked.
PS-106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten
image.
PS-106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of
an ox that
eateth grass.
PS-106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great
things in Egypt;
PS-106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible
things by the Red
sea.
PS-106:23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not
Moses his
chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath,
lest he should
destroy [them].
PS-106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed
not his word:
PS-106:25 But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto
the voice of
the LORD.
PS-106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to
overthrow them in
the wilderness:
PS-106:27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to
scatter them
in the lands.
PS-106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the
sacrifices of
the dead.
PS-106:29 Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their
inventions: and the
plague brake in upon them.
PS-106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and
[so] the plague
was stayed.
PS-106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto
all generations
for evermore.
PS-106:32 They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so
that it went ill
with Moses for their sakes:
PS-106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake
unadvisedly with
his lips.
PS-106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the
LORD commanded
them:
PS-106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their
works.
PS-106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto
them.
PS-106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters
unto devils,
PS-106:38 And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their
sons and of their
daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and
the land was
polluted with blood.
PS-106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went
a whoring with
their own inventions.
PS-106:40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against
his people,
insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
PS-106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and
they that hated
them ruled over them.
PS-106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were
brought into
subjection under their hand.
PS-106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked
[him] with their
counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
PS-106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he
heard their cry:
PS-106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented
according to
the multitude of his mercies.
PS-106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that
carried them
captives.
PS-106:47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the
heathen, to
give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.
PS-106:48 Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting
to everlasting:
and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
