Psalms:106
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Hallelujah .
Oh give thanks unto the Lord ;
for he is good :
for to eternity endureth his kindness .
*
Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord ?
who can publish all his praise ?
*
Happy are those that observe justice ,
that execute righteousness at all times .
*
Remember me ,
O Lord ,
when thou favorest thy people :
oh visit me with thy salvation ;
*
That I may look on the happiness of thy elect ,
that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation ,
that I may glorify myself with thy inheritance .
*
We have sinned together with our fathers ,
we have committed iniquity ,
we have done wickedly .
*
Our fathers did not reflect on thy wonders in Egypt :
they remembered not the multitude of thy kindnesses ;
but rebelled at the sea ,
even at the Red Sea .
*
Nevertheless he saved them for the sake of his name ,
to make known his might .
*
He rebuked the Red Sea also ,
and it was dried up ;
and he led them through the depths ,
as through the wilderness .
*
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them ,
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy .
*
And the waters covered their adversaries :
not one of them was left .
*
Then believed they in his words ,
they sang his praise .
*
Speedily they forgot his works ,
they waited not for his counsel ;
*
And they felt a lustful longing in the wilderness ,
and tempted God in the desert .
*
And he gave them what they had asked ;
but sent dryness into their soul .
*
Moreover they envied Moses in the camp ,
and Aaron the holy one of the Lord .
*
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan ,
and covered over the company of Abiram .
*
And a fire was kindled in their company :
the flame burnt up the wicked .
*
They made a calf in Horeb ,
and bowed themselves down to a molten image .
*
And they exchanged their glory for the similitude of an ox that eateth herbs .
*
They forgot God their saviour ,
who had done great things in Egypt ,
*
Wonders in the land of Ham ,
terrible things by the Red Sea .
*
He therefore spoke of destroying them :
had not Moses his elect stood in the breach before him ,
to turn away his fury ,
that he might not destroy .
*
And they despised the pleasant land ,
they believed not in his word ;
*
But they murmured in their tents ,
they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord .
*
He therefore lifted up his hand against them ,
to cause them to fall in the wilderness ;
*
And to let their seed fall among the nations ,
and to scatter them in the lands .
*
And they joined themselves unto Ba
al
pe
or ,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead .
*
And they provoked him to anger with their deeds :
and there broke in among them the plague .
*
Then stood up Phinehas ,
and executed judgment :
and the plague was stayed .
*
And it was accounted unto him for righteousness ,
unto all generations for evermore .
*
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah ,
and evil happened to Moses for their sake ;
*
Because they had embittered his spirit ,
and so he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips .
*
They did not exterminate the nations ,
that the Lord had indicated to them ;
*
But they mingled themselves among the nations ,
and learned their doings .
*
And they served their idols ,
and these became unto them a snare .
*
Yea ,
they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto the evil spirits ;
*
And they shed innocent blood ,
the blood of their sons and of their daughters ,
whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan :
and the land was polluted with blood
guiltiness .
*
Thus were they made unclean through their own doings ,
and went astray with their own deeds .
*
therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people ,
and be felt disgust for his own inheritance .
*
And he gave them up into the hand of the nations :
and there ruled over them those that hated them .
*
And their enemies also oppressed them :
and they were subdued under their hand .
*
Many times did he deliver them ;
but they rebelled with their counsel ,
and they were brought low through their iniquity .
*
Nevertheless he looked on when they were in distress ,
when he heard their entreaty .
*
And he remembered unto them his covenant ,
and he bethought himself according to the abundance of his kindnesses ;
*
And be caused them to find mercy before all those that had carried them away captive .
*
Save us ,
O Lord our God ,
and gather us from among the nations ,
to give thanks unto thy holy name ,
to triumph in thy praise .
*
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting even to everlasting :
and let all the people say ,
Amen ,
Hallelujah .
