106:1	Praise the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;for his steadfast love endures for ever!
106:2	Who can utter the mighty doings of the LORD, or show forth all his praise?
106:3	Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
106:4	Remember me, O LORD, when thou showest favor to thy people;help me when thou deliverest them;
106:5	that 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.
106:6	Both we and our fathers have sinned;we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
106:7	Our 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.
106:8	Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his mighty power.
106:9	He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry;and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
106:10	So he saved them from the hand of the foe, and delivered them from the power of the enemy.
106:11	And the waters covered their adversaries;not one of them was left.
106:12	Then they believed his words;they sang his praise.
106:13	But they soon forgot his works;they did not wait for his counsel.
106:14	But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;
106:15	he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.
106:16	When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,
106:17	the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abi'ram.
106:18	Fire also broke out in their company;the flame burned up the wicked.
106:19	They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a molten image.
106:20	They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.
106:21	They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
106:22	wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red Sea.
106:23	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.
106:24	Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise.
106:25	They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD.
106:26	Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
106:27	and would disperse their descendants among the nations, scattering them over the lands.
106:28	Then they attached themselves to the Ba'al of Pe'or, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;
106:29	they provoked the LORD to anger with their doings, and a plague broke out among them.
106:30	Then Phin'ehas stood up and interposed, and the plague was stayed.
106:31	And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness from generation to generation for ever.
106:32	They angered him at the waters of Mer'ibah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;
106:33	for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke words that were rash.
106:34	They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
106:35	but they mingled with the nations and learned to do as they did.
106:36	They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
106:37	They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
106:38	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.
106:39	Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the harlot in their doings.
106:40	Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;
106:41	he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them.
106:42	Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power.
106:43	Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes, and were brought low through their iniquity.
106:44	Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
106:45	He remembered for their sake his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
106:46	He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive.
106:47	Save 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.
106:48	Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, 'Amen!' Praise the LORD!
