Psalms 106 — King James Version

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