Psalms 106:6-43

6We have sinnedH2398 with our fathersH1, we have committedH2398 iniquity, we have doneH2398 wickedlyH7561.

7Our fathersH1 understoodH7919 notH3808 thy wondersH6381 in EgyptH4714; they rememberedH2142 notH3808 the multitudeH7230 of thy mercies; but were rebelliousH4784 at the seaH3220, evenH3808 at the Red SeaH3220.

8Nevertheless he savedH3467 them for his name’sH8034 sakeH4616, that he might makeH3045 his mightyH1369 powerH1369 to be knownH3045.

9He rebukedH1605 the Red SeaH3220 also, and it was dried upH3220: so he led them through the depthsH8415, as through a wildernessH4057.

10And he savedH3467 them from the handH3027 of him that hatedH8130 them, and redeemedH1350 them from the handH3027 of the enemyH341.

11And the watersH4325 coveredH3680 their adversaries: there was notH3808 one of them leftH3498.

12Then believedH539 they his wordsH1697; they sangH7891 his praiseH8416.

13They soonH4116 forgat his worksH4639; they waitedH2442 notH3808 for his counselH6098:

14But lusted exceedingly in the wildernessH4057, and temptedH5254 GodH410 in the desertH3452.

15And he gaveH5414 them their requestH7596; but sentH7971 leanness intoH5414 their soulH5315.

16They enviedH7065 MosesH4872 also in the campH4264, and AaronH175 the saint of the LORDH3068.

17The earthH776 openedH6605 and swallowedH1104 upH1104 DathanH1885, and coveredH3680 the companyH5712 of AbiramH48.

18And a fireH784 was kindled in their companyH5712; the flameH3852 burnedH1197 upH3857 the wickedH7563.

19They madeH6213 a calfH5695 in HorebH2722, and worshipped a molten image.

20Thus they changedH4171 their gloryH3519 for the likenessH8403 of an oxH7794 that eateth grassH6212.

21They forgat GodH410 their saviour, which had doneH6213 greatH1419 things in EgyptH4714;

22WondrousH6381 worksH6381 in the landH776 of HamH2526, and terrible things by the Red SeaH3220.

23Therefore he saidH559 that he would destroyH7843 them, had not MosesH4872 his chosenH972 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him in the breachH6556, to turnH7725 awayH7725 his wrathH2534, lest he should destroyH7843 them.

24Yea, they despised the pleasantH2532 landH776, they believedH539 notH3808 his wordH1697;

25But murmured in their tentsH168, and hearkened notH3808 unto the voiceH6963 of the LORDH3068.

26Therefore he liftedH5375 upH5375 his handH3027 unto them, that he would overthrow them in the wildernessH4057:

27And that he would overthrow their seedH2233 among the nationsH1471, and scatterH2219 them in the landsH776.

28They joinedH6775 themselves also unto Baal-peorH1187, and ateH398 the sacrificesH2077 of the deadH4191.

29Thus they provokedH3707 him to angerH3707 with their doingsH4611; and the plagueH4046 brake in upon them.

30Then stoodH5975 upH5975 PhinehasH6372, and executed judgmentH6419: and soH5975 the plagueH4046 was stayedH5975.

31And that was countedH2803 unto him for righteousnessH6666, unto allH1755 generationsH1755 for evermore.

32They angered him also at the watersH4325 of Meribah, soH5668 that it went ill with MosesH4872 for their sakesH5921:

33BecauseH3588 they were rebelliousH4784 againstH4784 his spiritH7307, and he spake unadvisedly with his lipsH8193.

34They didH834 notH3808 destroyH8045 the peoplesH5971, as the LORDH3068 commandedH559 them;

35But mingledH6148 themselves with the nationsH1471, and learnedH3925 their worksH4639:

36And they servedH5647 their idolsH6091; which becameH1961 a snareH4170 unto them:

37Yea, they sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 unto demonsH7700,

38And shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, evenH776 the bloodH1818 of their sonsH1121 and of their daughtersH1323, whomH834 they sacrificedH2076 unto the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667; and the landH776 was pollutedH2610 with bloodH1818.

39Thus were they defiledH2930 with their worksH4639, and went a whoring in their doingsH4611.

40Therefore was the wrathH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 againstH2734 his peopleH5971, and he abhorredH8581 his inheritanceH5159.

41And he gaveH5414 them intoH3027 the handH3027 of the nationsH1471; and they that hatedH8130 them ruledH4910 over them.

42Their enemiesH341 also oppressedH3905 them, and they were broughtH3027 intoH3027 subjection underH8478 their handH3027.

43ManyH7227 timesH6471 did he deliverH5337 them; but they were rebelliousH4784 in their counselH6098, and were broughtH4355 lowH4355 in their iniquityH5771.
