Psalm 106:1-15

Psalm 106 1Praise the LORD . Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verse 48 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

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

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

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

5that 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.

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

7When 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. Or the Sea of Reeds; also in verses 9 and 22

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

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

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

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

12Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.

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

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

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