Psalms 106:6-43

61We have sinned 23like our fathers, We have gone astray, we have behaved wickedly.7Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your 4wonders; They 5did not remember 6Your abundant kindnesses, But 7rebelled by the sea, at the 8Red Sea.8Nevertheless He saved them 9for the sake of His name, So that He might 10make His power known.9So He 11rebuked the 12Red Sea and it 13dried up, And He 14led them through the mighty waters, as through the wilderness.10So He 15saved them from the 16hand of one who hated them, And 17redeemed them from the 18hand of the enemy.1119The waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.12Then they 20believed His words; They 21sang His praise.

13They quickly 22forgot His works; They 23did not wait for His plan,14But 24became lustfully greedy in the wilderness, And 25put God to the test in the desert.15So He 26gave them their request, But 27sent a 28wasting disease among them.

16When they became 29envious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,17The 30earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And engulfed the 31company of Abiram.18And a 32fire blazed up in their 33company; The flame consumed the wicked.

19They 34made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped a cast metal image.20So they 35exchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass.21They 36forgot God their Savior, Who had done 37great things in Egypt,223839Wonders in the land of Ham, And awesome things by the 40Red Sea.23Therefore 41He said that He would destroy them, If 42Moses, His chosen one, had not stood in the gap before Him, To turn away His wrath from destroying them.24Then they 43rejected the 44pleasant land; They 45did not believe His word,25But 46grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of the Lord.26Therefore He 4748swore to them That He would have them fall in the wilderness,27And that He would 49bring down their 50descendants among the nations, And 51scatter them in the lands.

28They also 52followed 53Baal-peor, And ate 54sacrifices offered to the dead.29So they 55provoked Him to anger with their deeds, And a plague broke out among them.30Then Phinehas 56stood up and 57intervened, And so the 58plague was brought to a halt.31And it was 59credited to him as righteousness, To all generations forever.

32They also 60provoked Him to wrath at the waters of 61Meribah, So that it 62went badly for Moses on their account.33Because they 63were rebellious against 64His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.

34They 65did not destroy the peoples, As 66the Lord had commanded them,35But 67they got involved with the nations And learned their 68practices,36And 69served their idols, 70Which became a snare to them.37They even 71sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the 72demons,38And shed 73innocent blood, The blood of their 74sons and their daughters Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was 75defiled with the blood.39So they became 76unclean in their 77practices, And 7879were unfaithful in their deeds.

40Therefore the 80anger of the Lord was kindled against His people, And He 81loathed His 8283inheritance.41So 84He handed them over to the 85nations, And those who hated them ruled over them.42Their enemies also 86oppressed them, And they were subdued under their 87power.43Many times He would 88rescue them; They, however, were rebellious in their 89plan, And they 90sank down into their guilt.
