Psalms:106
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Praise all of you the LORD .
O give thanks unto the LORD ;
for he is good :
for his mercy endures for ever .
*
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD ?
who can show forth all his praise ?
*
Blessed are they that keep judgment ,
and he that does righteousness at all times .
*
Remember me ,
O LORD ,
with the favour that you bear unto your people :
O visit me with your salvation ;
*
That I may see the good of your chosen ,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation ,
that I may glory with yours inheritance .
*
We have sinned with our fathers ,
we have committed iniquity ,
we have done wickedly .
*
Our fathers understood not your wonders in Egypt ;
they remembered not the multitude of your mercies ;
but provoked him at the sea ,
even at the Red sea .
*
Nevertheless he saved them for his name '
s sake ,
that he might make his mighty power to be known .
*
He rebuked the Red sea also ,
and it was dried up :
so 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 enemies :
there was not one of them left .
*
Then believed they his words ;
they sang his praise .
*
They soon forgotten about his works ;
they waited not for his counsel :
*
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness ,
and tempted God in the desert .
*
And he gave them their request ;
but sent leanness into their soul .
*
They envied Moses also in the camp ,
and Aaron the saint of the LORD .
*
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram .
*
And a fire was kindled in their company ;
the flame burned up the wicked .
*
They made a calf in Horeb ,
and worshipped the molten image .
*
Thus they changed their glory into the embodiment of an ox that eats grass .
*
They forgotten about God their saviour ,
which had done great things in Egypt ;
*
Wondrous works in the land of Ham ,
and terrible things by the Red sea .
*
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 .
*
Yea ,
they despised the pleasant land ,
they believed not his word :
*
But murmured in their tents ,
and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD .
*
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them ,
to overthrow them in the wilderness :
*
To overthrow their seed also among the nations ,
and to scatter them in the lands .
*
They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor ,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead .
*
Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions :
and the plague brake in upon them .
*
Then stood up Phinehas ,
and executed judgment :
and so the plague was stayed .
*
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore .
*
They angered him also at the waters of strife ,
so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes :
*
Because they provoked his spirit ,
so that he spoke without due consideration with his lips .
*
They did not destroy the nations ,
concerning whom the LORD commanded them :
*
But were mingled among the heathen ,
and learned their works .
*
And they served their idols :
which were a snare unto them .
*
Yea ,
they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils ,
*
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 .
*
Thus were they defiled with their own works ,
and went a whoring with their own inventions .
*
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people ,
insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance .
*
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen ;
and they that hated them ruled over them .
*
Their enemies also oppressed them ,
and they were brought into subjection under their hand .
*
Many times did he deliver them ;
but they provoked him with their counsel ,
and were brought low for their iniquity .
*
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction ,
when he heard their cry :
*
And he remembered for them his covenant ,
and repented according to the multitude of his mercies .
*
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives .
*
Save us ,
O LORD our God ,
and gather us from among the heathen ,
to give thanks unto your holy name ,
and to triumph in your praise .
*
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting :
and let all the people say ,
Amen .
Praise all of you the LORD .
