Psalms 106 Background Information with Maps and Images (Picture Study Bible - Psalms) Free Bible Online

1 - Praise The LORD!Give thanks to The LORD, for he is good,for his loving kindness endures forever.

2 - Who can utter the mighty acts of The LORD,or fully declare all his praise?

3 - Blessed are those who keep justice.Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

4 - Remember me, The LORD, with the favor that you show to your people.Visit me with your salvation,

5 - that I may see the prosperity of your chosen,that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,that I may glory with your inheritance.

6 - We have sinned with our fathers.We have committed iniquity.We have done wickedly.

7 - Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Egypt.They didn't remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses,but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

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

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

10 - He saved them from the hand of him who hated them,and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

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

12 - Then they believed his words.They sang his praise.

13 - They soon forgot his works.They didn't wait for his counsel,

14 - but gave in to craving in the desert,and tested God in the wasteland.

15 - He gave them their request,but sent leanness into their soul.

16 - They envied Moses also in the camp,and Aaron, The LORD's saint.

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

18 - A fire was kindled in their company.The flame burned up the wicked.

19 - They made a calf in Horeb,and worshiped a molten image.

20 - Thus they exchanged their gloryfor an image of a bull 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 things by the Red Sea.

23 - Therefore he said that he would destroy them,had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach,to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.

24 - Yes, they despised the pleasant land.They didn't believe his word,

25 - but murmured in their tents,and didn't listen to The LORD's voice.

26 - Therefore he swore to themthat he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

27 - that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations,and scatter them in the lands.

28 - They joined themselves also to Baal Peor,and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29 - Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds.The plague broke in on them.

30 - Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment,so the plague was stopped.

31 - That was credited to him for righteousness,for all generations to come.

32 - They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

33 - because they were rebellious against his spirit,he spoke rashly with his lips.

34 - They didn't destroy the peoples,as the LORD commanded them,

35 - but mixed themselves with the nations,and learned their works.

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

37 - Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

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

39 - Thus were they defiled with their works,and prostituted themselves in their deeds.

40 - Therefore the LORD burned with anger against his people.He abhorred his inheritance.
