Psalms 106:28-46

28They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor,And ate the sacrifices of the dead.29Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings;And the plague brake in upon them.30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment;And so the plague was stayed.31And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness,Unto all generations for evermore.32They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;33Because they were rebellious against his spirit,And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.34They did not destroy the peoples,As Jehovah commanded them,35But mingled themselves with the nations,And learned their works,36And served their idols,Which became a snare unto them.37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,38And 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.39Thus were they defiled with their works,And played the harlot in their doings.40Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people,And he abhorred his inheritance.41And he gave them into the hand of the nations;And they that hated them ruled over them.42Their enemies also oppressed them,And they were brought into subjection under their hand.43Many times did he deliver them;But they were rebellious in their counsel,And were brought low in their iniquity.44Nevertheless he regarded their distress,When he heard their cry:45And he remembered for them his covenant,And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.46He made them also to be pitiedOf all those that carried them captive.
