NASB95 Psalms 106 Chapter
106:1
Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
106:2
Who can speak of the mighty deeds of the Lord, Or can show forth all His praise?
106:3
How blessed are those who keep justice, Who practice righteousness at all times!
106:4
Remember me, O Lord, in Your favor toward Your people; Visit me with Your salvation,
106:5
That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance.
106:6
We have sinned like our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.
106:7
Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses, But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
106:8
Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of His name, That He might make His power known.
106:9
Thus He rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up, And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.
106:10
So He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
106:11
The waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.
106:12
Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.
106:13
They quickly forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,
106:14
But craved intensely in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.
106:15
So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them.
106:16
When they became envious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,
106:17
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram.
106:18
And a fire blazed up in their company; The flame consumed the wicked.
106:19
They made a calf in Horeb And worshiped a molten image.
106:20
Thus they exchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass.
106:21
They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
106:22
Wonders in the land of Ham And awesome things by the Red Sea.
106:23
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 destroying them.
106:24
Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe in His word,
106:25
But grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of the Lord.
106:26
Therefore He swore to them That He would cast them down in the wilderness,
106:27
And that He would cast their seed among the nations And scatter them in the lands.
106:28
They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
106:29
Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.
106:30
Then Phinehas stood up and interposed, And so the plague was stayed.
106:31
And it was reckoned to him for righteousness, To all generations forever.
106:32
They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, So that it went hard with Moses on their account;
106:33
Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.
106:34
They did not destroy the peoples, As the Lord commanded them,
106:35
But they mingled with the nations And learned their practices,
106:36
And served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
106:37
They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons,
106:38
And 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.
106:39
Thus they became unclean in their practices, And played the harlot in their deeds.
106:40
Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against His people And He abhorred His inheritance.
106:41
Then He gave them into the hand of the nations, And those who hated them ruled over them.
106:42
Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their power.
106:43
Many times He would deliver them; They, however, were rebellious in their counsel, And so sank down in their iniquity.
106:44
Nevertheless He looked upon their distress When He heard their cry;
106:45
And He remembered His covenant for their sake, And relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness.
106:46
He also made them objects of compassion In the presence of all their captors.
106:47
Save us, O Lord our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name And glory in Your praise.
106:48
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the Lord!
