Psalms 106

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD because he is good, because his mercy endures forever.

2 Who can speak about all the mighty things the LORD has done? Who can announce all the things for which he is worthy of praise?

3 Blessed are those who defend justice and do what is right at all times.

4 Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people. Come to help me with your salvation

5 so that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, find joy in our people's happiness, and brag with the people who belong to you.

6 We have sinned, and so did our ancestors. We have done wrong. We are guilty.

7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles. They did not remember your numerous acts of mercy, so they rebelled at the sea, the Red Sea.

8 He saved them because of his reputation so that he could make his mighty power known.

9 He angrily commanded the Red Sea, and it dried up. He led them through deep water as though it were a desert.

10 He rescued them from the power of the one who hated them. He rescued them from the enemy.

11 Water covered their adversaries. Not one Egyptian survived.

12 Then our ancestors believed what he said. They sang his praise.

13 They quickly forgot what he did. They did not wait for his advice.

14 They had an unreasonable desire [for food] in the wilderness. In the desert they tested God.

15 He gave them what they asked for. He [also] gave them a degenerative disease.

16 In the camp certain men became envious of Moses. They also became envious of Aaron, the LORD's holy one.

17 The ground split open and swallowed Dathan. It buried Abiram's followers.

18 A fire broke out among their followers. Flames burned up wicked people.

19 At Mount Horeb they made [a statue of] a calf. They worshiped an idol made of metal.

20 They traded their glorious God for the statue of a bull that eats grass.

21 They forgot God, their savior, the one who did spectacular things in Egypt,

22 miracles in the land of Ham, and terrifying things at the Red Sea.

23 God said he was going to destroy them, but Moses, his chosen one, stood in his way to prevent him from exterminating them.

24 They refused [to enter] the pleasant land. They did not believe what he said.

25 They complained in their tents. They did not obey the LORD.

26 Raising his hand, he swore that he would kill them in the wilderness,

27 kill their descendants among the nations, and scatter them throughout various lands.

28 They joined in worshiping the god Baal while they were at Peor, and they ate what was sacrificed to the dead.

29 They infuriated God by what they did, and a plague broke out among them.

30 Then Phinehas stood between God and the people, and the plague was stopped.

31 Because of this, Phinehas was considered righteous forever, throughout every generation.

32 They made God angry by the water at Meribah. Things turned out badly for Moses because of what they did,

33 since they made him bitter so that he spoke recklessly.

34 They did not destroy the people as the LORD had told them.

35 Instead, they intermarried with other nations. They learned to do what other nations did,

36 and they worshiped their idols, which became a trap for them.

37 They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.

38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their own sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land became polluted with blood.

39 They became filthy because of what they did. They behaved like prostitutes.

40 The LORD burned with anger against his own people. He was disgusted with those who belonged to him.

41 He handed them over to other nations, and those who hated them ruled them.

42 Their enemies oppressed them and made them subject to their power.

43 He rescued them many times, but they continued to plot rebellion against him and to sink deeper because of their sin.

44 He saw that they were suffering when he heard their cry for help.

45 He remembered his promise to them. In keeping with his rich mercy, he changed his plans.

46 He let them find compassion from all those who held them captive.

47 Rescue us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations so that we may give thanks to your holy name and make your praise our glory.

48 Thanks be to the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say amen. Hallelujah!

New International Version NIV

1 Praise the LORD.Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORDor fully declare his praise?

3 Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right.

4 Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them,

5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.

6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.

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

9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.

10 He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.

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

12 Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.

13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold.

14 In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test.

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

16 In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD.

17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram.

18 Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked.

19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal.

20 They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass.

21 They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

22 miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

23 So he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them.

24 Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.

25 They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD.

26 So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the wilderness,

27 make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.

28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;

29 they aroused the LORD’s anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked.

31 This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.

32 By the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them;

33 for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses’ lips.

34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,

35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.

36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.

37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods.

38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood.

39 They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves.

40 Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance.

41 He gave them into the hands of the nations, and their foes ruled over them.

42 Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power.

43 Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin.

44 Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry;

45 for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.

46 He caused all who held them captive to show them mercy.

47 Save us, LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.

48 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD.
