PSALMS 106

Give Thanks to the LORD, for He Is Good

[1] Praise the LORD!

Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever!

[2] Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD,

or declare all his praise?

[3] Blessed are they who observe justice,

who do righteousness at all times!

[4] Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people;

help me when you save them,

[5] that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones,

that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,

that I may glory with your inheritance.

[6] Both we and our fathers have sinned;

we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.

[7] Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,

did not consider your wondrous works;

they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,

but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

[8] Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,

that he might make known his mighty power.

[9] He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry,

and he led them through the deep as through a desert.

[10] So he saved them from the hand of the foe

and redeemed them from the power of the enemy.

[11] And the waters covered their adversaries;

not one of them was left.

[12] Then they believed his words;

they sang his praise.

[13] But they soon forgot his works;

they did not wait for his counsel.

[14] But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness,

and put God to the test in the desert;

[15] he gave them what they asked,

but sent a wasting disease among them.

[16] When men in the camp were jealous of Moses

and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,

[17] the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,

and covered the company of Abiram.

[18] Fire also broke out in their company;

the flame burned up the wicked.

[19] They made a calf in Horeb

and worshiped a metal image.

[20] They exchanged the glory of God

for the image of an ox that eats grass.

[21] They forgot God, their Savior,

who had done great things in Egypt,

[22] wondrous works in the land of Ham,

and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

[23] Therefore 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.

[24] Then they despised the pleasant land,

having no faith in his promise.

[25] They murmured in their tents,

and did not obey the voice of the LORD.

[26] Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them

that he would make them fall in the wilderness,

[27] and would make their offspring fall among the nations,

scattering them among the lands.

[28] Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor,

and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;

[29] they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds,

and a plague broke out among them.

[30] Then Phinehas stood up and intervened,

and the plague was stayed.

[31] And that was counted to him as righteousness

from generation to generation forever.

[32] They angered him at the waters of Meribah,

and it went ill with Moses on their account,

[33] for they made his spirit bitter,

and he spoke rashly with his lips.

[34] They did not destroy the peoples,

as the LORD commanded them,

[35] but they mixed with the nations

and learned to do as they did.

[36] They served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

[37] They sacrificed their sons

and their daughters to the demons;

[38] they 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.

[39] Thus they became unclean by their acts,

and played the whore in their deeds.

[40] Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people,

and he abhorred his heritage;

[41] he gave them into the hand of the nations,

so that those who hated them ruled over them.

[42] Their enemies oppressed them,

and they were brought into subjection under their power.

[43] Many times he delivered them,

but they were rebellious in their purposes

and were brought low through their iniquity.

[44] Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,

when he heard their cry.

[45] For their sake he remembered his covenant,

and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

[46] He caused them to be pitied

by all those who held them captive.

[47] Save us, O LORD our God,

and gather us from among the nations,

that we may give thanks to your holy name

and glory in your praise.

[48] Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting!

And let all the people say, “Amen!”

Praise the LORD! (ESV)
