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