CHAPTER 106

1
Hallelujah!
Give thanks
to the LORD,
for
He is good;
His loving devotion endures forever.
2
Who
can describe
the mighty acts
of the LORD
or fully proclaim
His praise?
3
Blessed are
those who uphold
justice,
who practice
righteousness
at all
times.
4
Remember me,
O LORD,
in Your favor
to Your people.
Visit me
with Your salvation,
5
that I may see
the prosperity
of Your chosen ones,
and rejoice
in the gladness
of Your nation,
and give glory
with
Your inheritance.
6
We have sinned
like
our fathers;
we have done wrong
and acted wickedly.
7
Our fathers
in Egypt
did not
grasp
Your wonders
or remember
Your abundant
kindness;
but they rebelled
by
the sea,
there at the Red
Sea.
8
Yet He saved them
for the sake of
His name,
to make His power
known.
9
He rebuked
the Red
Sea,
and it dried up;
He led them
through the depths
as through a desert.
10
He saved them
from the hand
that hated them,
and redeemed them
from the hand
of the enemy.
11
The waters
covered
their foes;
not
one
of them
remained.
12
Then they believed
His promises
and sang
His praise.
13
Yet they soon
forgot
His works
and failed
to wait
for His counsel.
14
They craved
intensely
in the wilderness
and tested
God
in the desert.
15
So He granted
their request,
but sent
a wasting disease
upon them.
16
In the camp
they envied
Moses
and Aaron,
the holy one
of the LORD.
17
The earth
opened up
and swallowed
Dathan;
it covered
the assembly
of Abiram.
18
Then fire
blazed
through their company;
flames
consumed
the wicked.
19
At Horeb
they made
a calf
and worshiped
a molten image.
20
They exchanged
their Glory
for the image
of an ox
that eats
grass.
21
They forgot
God
their Savior,
who did
great
things in Egypt,
22
wondrous works
in the land
of Ham,
and awesome deeds
by
the Red
Sea.
23
So He said
He would destroy them—
had not
Moses
His chosen one
stood
before Him
in the breach
to divert
His wrath
from destroying them.
24
They despised
the pleasant
land;
they did not
believe
His promise.
25
They grumbled
in their tents
and did not
listen
to the voice
of the LORD.
26
So He raised
His hand
and swore
to cast them down
in the wilderness,
27
to disperse
their offspring
among the nations
and scatter them
throughout the lands.
28
They yoked themselves
to
Baal of Peor
and ate
sacrifices
offered to lifeless gods.
29
So they provoked the LORD to anger
with their deeds,
and a plague
broke out
among them.
30
But Phinehas
stood
and intervened,
and the plague
was restrained.
31
It was credited
to him
as righteousness
for endless
generations
to come.
32
At the waters
of Meribah
they angered
the LORD,
and trouble came
to Moses
because of them.
33
For
they rebelled against
His Spirit,
and Moses spoke rashly
with his lips.
34
They did not
destroy
the peoples
as
the LORD
had commanded
them,
35
but they mingled
with the nations
and adopted
their customs.
36
They worshiped
their idols,
which became
a snare to them.
37
They sacrificed
their sons
and
their daughters
to demons.
38
They shed
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
They defiled themselves
by their actions
and prostituted themselves
by their deeds.
40
So the anger
of the LORD
was kindled
against His people,
and He abhorred
His own inheritance.
41
He delivered them
into the hand
of the nations,
and those who hated them
ruled
over them.
42
Their enemies
oppressed them,
and subdued them
under
their hand.
43
Many
times
He rescued them,
but they
were bent
on rebellion
and sank down
in their iniquity.
44
Nevertheless He heard
their cry;
He took note
of their distress.
45
And He remembered
His covenant
with them,
and relented
by the abundance
of His loving devotion.
46
He made
them
objects of compassion
to
all
who held them captive.
47
Save us,
O LORD
our God,
and gather
us from
the nations,
that we may give thanks
to Your holy
name,
that we may glory
in Your praise.
48
Blessed be
the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
from
everlasting
to
everlasting.
Let all
the people
say,
“Amen!”
Hallelujah!
