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