Psalms 106:7-46

7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wondrous works;
they adid not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
but brebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
8Yet he saved them cfor his name’s sake,
dthat he might make known his mighty power.
9He erebuked the Red Sea, and it fbecame dry,
and he gled them through the deep as through a desert.
10So he hsaved them from the hand of the foe
and iredeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11And jthe waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left.
12Then kthey believed his words;
they lsang his praise.
13 But they soon mforgot his works;
they did not wait for nhis counsel.
14But they had oa wanton craving in the wilderness,
and pput God to the test in the desert;
15he qgave them what they asked,
but sent ra wasting disease among them.
16 When men in the camp swere jealous of Moses
and Aaron, tthe holy one of the Lord,
17 uthe earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 vFire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They wmade a calf in Horeb
and worshiped a metal image.
20They xexchanged the glory of God
Hebrew  exchanged their glory

for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They zforgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in aathe land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23Therefore abhe said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his acchosen one,
adstood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they aedespised afthe pleasant land,
having agno faith in his promise.
25They ahmurmured in their tents,
and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore he airaised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
27and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
ajscattering them among the lands.
28 Then they akyoked themselves to the alBaal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to amthe dead;
29they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
30Then anPhinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was stayed.
31And that was aocounted to him as righteousness
from generation to generation forever.
32 They apangered him at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account,
33for they aqmade his spirit bitter,
Or  they rebelled against God’s Spirit

and he asspoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not atdestroy the peoples,
auas the Lord commanded them,
35but they avmixed with the nations
and learned to do as they did.
36They served their idols,
which became awa snare to them.
37They axsacrificed their sons
and their daughters to aythe 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 azpolluted with blood.
39Thus they babecame unclean by their acts,
and bbplayed the whore in their deeds.
40 Then bcthe anger of the Lord was kindled against bdhis people,
and he abhorred his beheritage;
41he bfgave them into the hand of the nations,
so that those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies bgoppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their power.
43 bhMany times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their bipurposes
and were bjbrought low through their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
when he bkheard their cry.
45For their sake he blremembered his covenant,
and bmrelented according to bnthe abundance of his steadfast love.
46He caused them to be bopitied
by all those who held them captive.
