Psalms 106:6-46

6 ^aBoth we and ^bour fathers have sinned;
we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wondrous works;
they ^cdid not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
but ^drebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
8Yet he saved them ^efor his name’s sake,
^fthat he might make known his mighty power.
9He ^grebuked the Red Sea, and it ^hbecame dry,
and he ⁱled them through the deep as through a desert.
10So he ^jsaved them from the hand of the foe
and ^kredeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11And ^lthe waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left.
12Then ^mthey believed his words;
they ⁿsang his praise.
13 But they soon ^oforgot his works;
they did not wait for ^phis counsel.
14But they had ^qa wanton craving in the wilderness,
and ^rput God to the test in the desert;
15he ^sgave them what they asked,
but sent ^ta wasting disease among them.
16 When men in the camp ^uwere jealous of Moses
and Aaron, ^vthe holy one of the Lord,
17 ^wthe earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 ^xFire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They ^ymade a calf in Horeb
and worshiped a metal image.
20They ^zexchanged the glory of God ▼

▼Hebrew  exchanged their glory

for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They ^abforgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in ^acthe land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23Therefore ^adhe said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his ^aechosen one,
^afstood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they ^agdespised ^ahthe pleasant land,
having ^aino faith in his promise.
25They ^ajmurmured in their tents,
and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore he ^akraised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
27and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
^alscattering them among the lands.
28 Then they ^amyoked themselves to the ^anBaal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to ^aothe dead;
29they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
30Then ^apPhinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was stayed.
31And that was ^aqcounted to him as righteousness
from generation to generation forever.
32 They ^arangered him at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account,
33for they ^asmade his spirit bitter, ▼

▼Or  they rebelled against God’s Spirit

and he ^auspoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not ^avdestroy the peoples,
^awas the Lord commanded them,
35but they ^axmixed with the nations
and learned to do as they did.
36They served their idols,
which became ^aya snare to them.
37They ^azsacrificed their sons
and their daughters to ^bathe demons;
38they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was ^bbpolluted with blood.
39Thus they ^bcbecame unclean by their acts,
and ^bdplayed the whore in their deeds.
40 Then ^bethe anger of the Lord was kindled against ^bfhis people,
and he abhorred his ^bgheritage;
41he ^bhgave them into the hand of the nations,
so that those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies ^bioppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their power.
43 ^bjMany times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their ^bkpurposes
and were ^blbrought low through their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
when he ^bmheard their cry.
45For their sake he ^bnremembered his covenant,
and ^borelented according to ^bpthe abundance of his steadfast love.
46He caused them to be ^bqpitied
by all those who held them captive.
