Psalms
Psalm 106 ©
1 The Psalmist exhorteth to praise God for his goodness: 4 he prayeth to share in his people's joy: 6 he rehearseth Israel's rebellions, and God's mercies: 47 he concludeth with a prayer and blessing.
PRAISE1 ye the LORD. O agive thanks unto the LORD; for he is bgood: for his mercy endureth for ever.
And ohe saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and predeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
2They ssoon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
But 3lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
And the gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
They uenvied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
The vearth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
They xmade a calf yin Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
Wondrous works in the land cof Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
Therefore dhe said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
Yea, ethey despised 4the pleas-ant land, they fbelieved not his word:
5To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to iscatter them in the lands.
Then pstood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so qthe plague was *stayed.
And that rwas counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
They sangered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
But wwere mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
Yea, ythey sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
Their enemies also foppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
Nevertheless hhe regarded their affliction, iwhen he heard their cry:
And jhe remembered for them his covenant, kand repented laccording to the multitude of his mercies.
