Psalms 106:1-7

1 Hallelujah! Thank God! And why? Because he's good, because his love lasts.
2 But who on earth can do it - declaim God's mighty acts, broadcast all his praises?
3 You're one happy man when you do what's right, one happy woman when you form the habit of justice.
4 Remember me, God, when you enjoy your people; include me when you save them;
5 I want to see your chosen succeed, celebrate with your celebrating nation, join the Hallelujahs of your pride and joy!
6 We've sinned a lot, both we and our parents; We've fallen short, hurt a lot of people.
7 After our parents left Egypt, they took your wonders for granted, forgot your great and wonderful love. They were barely beyond the Red Sea when they defied the High God
