Psalms 106

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.

New Revised Standard NRS

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

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

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

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

5 that 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.

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

7 Our 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

19 They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped a cast image.

20 They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.

21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

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

24 Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise.

25 They grumbled in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the Lord.

26 Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness,

27 and would disperse their descendants among the nations, scattering them over the lands.

28 Then they attached themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;

29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

30 Then Phinehas stood up and interceded, and the plague was stopped.

31 And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever.

32 They angered the Lord at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;

33 for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke words that were rash.

34 They did not destroy the peoples, as the Lord commanded them,

35 but they mingled with the nations and learned to do as they did.

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

37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;

38 they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.

39 Thus they became unclean by their acts, and prostituted themselves in their doings.

40 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;

41 he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them.

42 Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power.

43 Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes, and were brought low through their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress when he heard their cry.

45 For their sake he remembered his covenant, and showed compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

46 He caused them to be pitied by all who held them captive.

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

48 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the Lord!
