Psalm 106 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Israel's Rebelliousness and the LORD'S Deliverances.

Psa 106:1

Psa 106:1Praise the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures for ever!

Psa 106:2

Psa 106:2Who can utter the mighty doings of the LORD, or show forth all his praise?

Psa 106:3

Psa 106:3Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!

Psa 106:4

Psa 106:4Remember me, O LORD, when thou showest favor to thy people; help me when thou deliverest them;

Psa 106:5

Psa 106:5that I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thy heritage.

Psa 106:6

Psa 106:6Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

Psa 106:7

Psa 106:7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider thy wonderful works; they did not remember the abundance of thy steadfast love, but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea.

Psa 106:8

Psa 106:8Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his mighty power.

Psa 106:9

Psa 106:9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry; and he led them through the deep as through a desert.

Psa 106:10

Psa 106:10So he saved them from the hand of the foe, and delivered them from the power of the enemy.

Psa 106:11

Psa 106:11And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left.

Psa 106:12

Psa 106:12Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.

Psa 106:13

Psa 106:13But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.

Psa 106:14

Psa 106:14But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;

Psa 106:15

Psa 106:15he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.

Psa 106:16

Psa 106:16When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,

Psa 106:17

Psa 106:17the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abi'ram.

Psa 106:18

Psa 106:18Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

Psa 106:19

Psa 106:19They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a molten image.

Psa 106:20

Psa 106:20They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.

Psa 106:21

Psa 106:21They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

Psa 106:22

Psa 106:22wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red Sea.

Psa 106:23

Psa 106:23Therefore he said he would destroy them--had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.

Psa 106:24

Psa 106:24Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise.

Psa 106:25

Psa 106:25They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD.

Psa 106:26

Psa 106:26Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness,

Psa 106:27

Psa 106:27and would disperse their descendants among the nations, scattering them over the lands.

Psa 106:28

Psa 106:28Then they attached themselves to the Ba'al of Pe'or, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;

Psa 106:29

Psa 106:29they provoked the LORD to anger with their doings, and a plague broke out among them.

Psa 106:30

Psa 106:30Then Phin'ehas stood up and interposed, and the plague was stayed.

Psa 106:31

Psa 106:31And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness from generation to generation for ever.

Psa 106:32

Psa 106:32They angered him at the waters of Mer'ibah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;

Psa 106:33

Psa 106:33for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke words that were rash.

Psa 106:34

Psa 106:34They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,

Psa 106:35

Psa 106:35but they mingled with the nations and learned to do as they did.

Psa 106:36

Psa 106:36They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

Psa 106:37

Psa 106:37They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;

Psa 106:38

Psa 106:38they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.

Psa 106:39

Psa 106:39Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the harlot in their doings.

Psa 106:40

Psa 106:40Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;

Psa 106:41

Psa 106:41he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them.

Psa 106:42

Psa 106:42Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power.

Psa 106:43

Psa 106:43Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes, and were brought low through their iniquity.

Psa 106:44

Psa 106:44Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

Psa 106:45

Psa 106:45He remembered for their sake his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

Psa 106:46

Psa 106:46He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive.

Psa 106:47

Psa 106:47Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to thy holy name and glory in thy praise.

Psa 106:48

Psa 106:48Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD!
