Psalms 106
King James Version

1 Praise ye the Lord.

O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.​

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord?
who can shew forth all his praise?​
3 Blessed are they that keep judgment,
and he that doeth righteousness at all times.​

4
Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people:
O visit me with thy salvation;​
5 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.​

6 We have sinned with our fathers,
we have committed iniquity,
we have done wickedly.​
7 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.​

8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake,
that he might make his mighty power to be known.​
9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up:
so he led them through the depths,
as through the wilderness.​
10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them,
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.​
11 And the waters covered their enemies:
there was not one of them left.​
12 Then believed they his words;
they sang his praise.​

13 They soon forgat his works;
they waited not for his counsel:​
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
and tempted God in the desert.​
15 And he gave them their request;
but sent leanness into their soul.​

16 They envied Moses also in the camp,
and Aaron the saint of the Lord.​
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan
and covered the company of Abiram.​
18 And a fire was kindled in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.​

19 They made a calf in Horeb,
and worshipped the molten image.​
20 Thus they changed their glory
into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.​
21 They forgat God their saviour,
which had done great things in Egypt;​
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and terrible things by the Red sea.​
23 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.​

24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land,
they believed not his word:​
25 But murmured in their tents,
and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.​
26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them,
to overthrow them in the wilderness:​
27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations,
and to scatter them in the lands.​

28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead.​
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions:
and the plague brake in upon them.​
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment:
and so the plague was stayed.​
31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness
unto all generations for evermore.​

32 They angered him also at the waters of strife,
so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:​
33 Because they provoked his spirit,
so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.​

34 They did not destroy the nations,
concerning whom the Lord commanded them:​
35 But were mingled among the heathen,
and learned their works.​
36 And they served their idols:
which were a snare unto them.​
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons
and their daughters unto devils,​
38 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.​
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works,
and went a whoring with their own inventions.​

40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people,
insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.​
41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen;
and they that hated them ruled over them.​
42 Their enemies also oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their hand.​
43 Many times did he deliver them;
but they provoked him with their counsel,
and were brought low for their iniquity.​

44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction,
when he heard their cry:​
45 And he remembered for them his covenant,
and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.​
46 He made them also to be pitied
of all those that carried them captives.​

47 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.​

48 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
from everlasting to everlasting:
and let all the people say, Amen.

Praise ye the Lord.
