Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

—

106:2

Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?

—

106:3

Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.

—

106:4

Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;

—

106:5

That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.

—

106:6

We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.

—

106:7

Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

106:8

Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.

—

106:9

And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

—

106:10

And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

—

106:11

And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.

—

106:12

Then believed they His words; They sang His praise.

—

106:13

They soon forgot His works; They waited not for His counsel;

—

106:14

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tried God in the desert.

—

106:15

And He gave them their request; But sent leanness into their soul.

—

106:16

They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.

—

106:17

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

—

106:18

And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

—

106:19

They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

—

106:20

Thus they exchanged their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

—

106:21

They forgot God their saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt;

—

106:22

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.

—

106:23

Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, To turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.

—

106:24

Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, They believed not His word;

—

106:25

And they murmured in their tents, They hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

—

106:26

Therefore He swore concerning them, That He would overthrow them in the wilderness;

—

106:27

And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

—

106:28

They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

—

106:29

Thus they provoked Him with their doings, And the plague broke in upon them.

—

106:30

Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, And so the plague was stayed.

—

106:31

And that was counted unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for ever.

—

106:32

They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, And it went ill with Moses because of them;

—

106:33

For they embittered his spirit, And he spoke rashly with his lips.

—

106:34

They did not destroy the peoples, As the LORD commanded them;

—

106:35

But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works;

—

106:36

And they served their idols, Which became a snare unto them;

—

106:37

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

—

106:38

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

—

106:39

Thus were they defiled with their works, And went astray in their doings.

—

106:40

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, And He abhorred His inheritance.

—

106:41

And He gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.

—

106:42

Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their hand.

—

106:43

Many times did He deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And sank low through their iniquity.

—

106:44

Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, When He heard their cry;

—

106:45

And He remembered for them His covenant, And repented according to the multitude of His mercies.

—

106:46

He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.

—

106:47

Save us, O LORD our God, And gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, That we may triumph in Thy praise.

—

106:48

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah.
