Israel’s Unfaithfulness to God
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:1 -

Hallelujah!

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;

his faithful love endures forever.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:2 -

Who can declare the LORD’s mighty acts

or proclaim all the praise due him?

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:3 -

How happy are those who uphold justice,

who practice righteousness at all times.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:4 -

Remember me, LORD,

when you show favor to your people.

Come to me with your salvation

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:5 -

so that I may enjoy the prosperity

of your chosen ones,

rejoice in the joy of your nation,

and boast about your heritage.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:6 -

Both we and our ancestors have sinned;

we have done wrong and have acted wickedly.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:7 -

Our ancestors in Egypt did not grasp

the significance of your wondrous works

or remember your many acts of faithful love;

instead, they rebelled by the sea ​— ​the Red Sea.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:8 -

Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,

to make his power known.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:9 -

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up;

he led them through the depths as through a desert.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:10 -

He saved them from the power of the adversary;

he redeemed them from the power of the enemy.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:11 -

Water covered their foes;

not one of them remained.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:12 -

Then they believed his promises

and sang his praise.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:13 -

They soon forgot his works

and would not wait for his counsel.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:14 -

They were seized with craving in the wilderness

and tested God in the desert.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:15 -

He gave them what they asked for,

but sent a wasting disease among them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:16 -

In the camp they were envious of Moses

and of Aaron, the LORD’s holy one.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:17 -

The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan;

it covered the assembly of Abiram.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:18 -

Fire blazed throughout their assembly;

flames consumed the wicked.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:19 -

At Horeb they made a calf

and worshiped the cast metal image.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:20 -

They exchanged their glory[fn][fn]

for the image of a grass-eating ox.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:21 -

They forgot God their Savior,

who did great things in Egypt,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:22 -

wondrous works in the land of Ham,[fn]

awe-inspiring acts at the Red Sea.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:23 -

So he said he would have destroyed them —

if Moses his chosen one

had not stood before him in the breach

to turn his wrath away from destroying them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:24 -

They despised the pleasant land

and did not believe his promise.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:25 -

They grumbled in their tents

and did not listen to the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:26 -

So he raised his hand against them with an oath

that he would make them fall in the desert

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:27 -

and would disperse their descendants[fn]

among the nations,

scattering them throughout the lands.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:28 -

They aligned themselves with Baal of Peor

and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:29 -

They angered the LORD with their deeds,

and a plague broke out against them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:30 -

But Phinehas stood up and intervened,

and the plague was stopped.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:31 -

It was credited to him as righteousness

throughout all generations to come.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:32 -

They angered the LORD at the Waters of Meribah,

and Moses suffered[fn] because of them,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:33 -

for they embittered his spirit,[fn]

and he spoke rashly with his lips.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:34 -

They did not destroy the peoples

as the LORD had commanded them

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:35 -

but mingled with the nations

and adopted their ways.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:36 -

They served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:37 -

They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:38 -

They shed innocent blood —

the blood of their sons and daughters

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;

so the land became polluted with blood.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:39 -

They defiled themselves by their actions

and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:40 -

Therefore the LORD’s anger burned against his people,

and he abhorred his own inheritance.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:41 -

He handed them over to the nations;

those who hated them ruled over them.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:42 -

Their enemies oppressed them,

and they were subdued under their power.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:43 -

He rescued them many times,

but they continued to rebel deliberately

and were beaten down by their iniquity.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:44 -

When he heard their cry,

he took note of their distress,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:45 -

remembered his covenant with them,

and relented according to the abundance

of his faithful love.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:46 -

He caused them to be pitied

before all their captors.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:47 -

Save us, LORD our God,

and gather us from the nations,

so that we may give thanks to your holy name

and rejoice in your praise.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:48 -

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.

Let all the people say, “Amen! ”

Hallelujah!
