Psalms 106:28-46

28They joined themselves also to Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds: and the plague broke in upon them. 30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stopped. 31And that was counted to him for righteousness to all generations for evermore. 32They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: 33Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

34They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: 35But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. 36And they served their idols: which were a snare to them. 37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons, 38And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. 39Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went astray with their own deeds. 40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. 41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; 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 provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.1 44Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: 45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. 46He made them also to be pitied by all those that carried them captives.
