The Psalms, starting at chapter 106
Psalm 106
{106:1} Praise the LORD!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever.
{106:2} Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD,
or fully declare all his praise?
{106:3} Blessed are those who keep justice.
Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
{106:4} Remember me, LORD, with the favor that you show to your people.
Visit me with your salvation,
{106:5} 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.
{106:6} We have sinned with our fathers.
We have committed iniquity.
We have done wickedly.
{106:7} 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 Sea of Suf.
{106:8} Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake,
that he might make his mighty power known.
{106:9} He rebuked the Sea of Suf also, and it was dried up;
so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
{106:10} He saved them from the hand of him who hated them,
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
{106:11} The waters covered their adversaries.
There was not one of them left.
{106:12} Then they believed his words.
They sang his praise.
{106:13} They soon forgot his works.
They didn't wait for his counsel,
{106:14} but gave in to craving in the desert,
and tested God in the wasteland.
{106:15} He gave them their request,
but sent leanness into their soul.
{106:16} They envied Moses also in the camp,
and Aaron, the LORD's holy one.
{106:17} The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
{106:18} A fire was kindled in their company.
The flame burned up the wicked.
{106:19} They made a calf in Horeb,
and worshiped a molten image.
{106:20} Thus they exchanged their glory
for an image of a bull that eats grass.
{106:21} They forgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
{106:22} Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and awesome things by the Sea of Suf.
{106:23} 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.
{106:24} Yes, they despised the pleasant land.
They didn't believe his word,
{106:25} but murmured in their tents,
and didn't listen to the LORD's voice.
{106:26} Therefore he swore to them
that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
{106:27} that he would overthrow their seed among the nations,
and scatter them in the lands.
{106:28} They joined themselves also to Baal Peor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
{106:29} Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds.
The plague broke in on them.
{106:30} Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment,
so the plague was stopped.
{106:31} That was credited to him for righteousness,
for all generations to come.
{106:32} They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,
so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
{106:33} because they were rebellious against his spirit,
he spoke rashly with his lips.
{106:34} They didn't destroy the peoples,
as the LORD commanded them,
{106:35} but mixed themselves with the nations,
and learned their works.
{106:36} They served their idols,
which became a snare to them.
{106:37} Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
{106:38} 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.
{106:39} Thus were they defiled with their works,
and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
{106:40} Therefore the LORD burned with anger against his people.
He abhorred his inheritance.
{106:41} He gave them into the hand of the nations.
Those who hated them ruled over them.
{106:42} Their enemies also oppressed them.
They were brought into subjection under their hand.
{106:43} Many times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their counsel,
and were brought low in their iniquity.
{106:44} Nevertheless he regarded their distress,
when he heard their cry.
{106:45} He remembered for them his covenant,
and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
{106:46} He made them also to be pitied
by all those who carried them captive.
{106:47} Save us, LORD, our God,
gather us from among the nations,
to give thanks to your holy name,
to triumph in your praise!
{106:48} Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
from everlasting even to everlasting!
Let all the people say, "Amen."
Praise the LORD!
BOOK V
Psalm 107
{107:1} Give thanks to [1>]the LORD,[<1]
for he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever.
{107:2} Let the redeemed by the LORD say so,
whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
{107:3} And gathered out of the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
{107:4} They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way.
They found no city to live in.
{107:5} Hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted in them.
{107:6} Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them out of their distresses,
{107:7} he led them also by a straight way,
that they might go to a city to live in.
{107:8} Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness,
for his wonderful works to the children of men!
{107:9} For he satisfies the longing soul.
He fills the hungry soul with good.
{107:10} Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
being bound in affliction and iron,
{107:11} because they rebelled against the words of [2>]God[<2],
and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
{107:12} Therefore he brought down their heart with labor.
They fell down, and there was none to help.
{107:13} Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them out of their distresses.
{107:14} He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
and broke their bonds in sunder.
{107:15} Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness,
for his wonderful works to the children of men!
{107:16} For he has broken the gates of brass,
and cut through bars of iron.
{107:17} Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience,
and because of their iniquities.
{107:18} Their soul abhors all kinds of food.
They draw near to the gates of death.
{107:19} Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble,
he saves them out of their distresses.
{107:20} He sends his word, and heals them,
and delivers them from their graves.
{107:21} Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness,
for his wonderful works to the children of men!
{107:22} Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and declare his works with singing.
{107:23} Those who go down to the sea in ships,
who do business in great waters;
{107:24} These see the LORD's works,
and his wonders in the deep.
{107:25} For he commands, and raises the stormy wind,
which lifts up its waves.
{107:26} They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths.
Their soul melts away because of trouble.
{107:27} They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man,
and are at their wits' end.
{107:28} Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble,
and he brings them out of their distress.
{107:29} He makes the storm a calm,
so that its waves are still.
{107:30} Then they are glad because it is calm,
so he brings them to their desired haven.
{107:31} Let them praise the LORD for his loving kindness,
for his wonderful works for the children of men!
{107:32} Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
and praise him in the seat of the elders.
{107:33} He turns rivers into a desert,
water springs into a thirsty ground,
{107:34} and a fruitful land into a salt waste,
for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
{107:35} He turns a desert into a pool of water,
and a dry land into water springs.
{107:36} There he makes the hungry live,
that they may prepare a city to live in,
{107:37} sow fields, plant vineyards,
and reap the fruits of increase.
{107:38} He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly.
He doesn't allow their livestock to decrease.
{107:39} Again, they are diminished and bowed down
through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
{107:40} He pours contempt on princes,
and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
{107:41} Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction,
and increases their families like a flock.
{107:42} The upright will see it, and be glad.
All the wicked will shut their mouths.
{107:43} Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things.
They will consider the loving kindnesses of the LORD.
Psalm 108
A Song. A Psalm by David.
{108:1} My heart is steadfast, God.
I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
{108:2} Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.
{108:3} I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations.
I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
{108:4} For your loving kindness is great above the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
{108:5} Be exalted, God, above the heavens!
Let your glory be over all the earth.
{108:6} That your beloved may be delivered,
save with your right hand, and answer us.
{108:7} God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph,
I will divide Shechem, and measure out the valley of Succoth.
{108:8} Gilead is mine. Manasseh is mine.
Ephraim also is my helmet.
Judah is my scepter.
{108:9} Moab is my wash pot.
I will toss my sandal on Edom.
I will shout over Philistia."
{108:10} Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who has led me to Edom?
{108:11} Haven't you rejected us, God?
You don't go forth, God, with our armies.
{108:12} Give us help against the enemy,
for the help of man is vain.
{108:13} Through God, we will do valiantly.
For it is he who will tread down our enemies.
