Psalm 106

¹Praise the Lord! O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever.

²Who can utter the mighty doings of the Lord, or declare all his praise?

³Happy are those who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times.

⁴Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people; help me when you deliver them;

⁵that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory in your heritage.

⁶Both we and our ancestors have sinned; we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly.

⁷Our ancestors, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wonderful works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea.

⁸Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, so that he might make known his mighty power.

⁹He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry; he led them through the deep as through a desert.

¹⁰So he saved them from the hand of the foe, and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left.

¹²Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.

¹³But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.

¹⁴But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;

¹⁵he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.

¹⁶They were jealous of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the faction of Abiram.

¹⁸Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
