PSALM 106
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Give praise and thanks unto the Lord,
for bountiful is he;
His tender mercy doth endure
unto eternity.
2God's mighty works who can express?
or shew forth all his praise?
3Blessed are they that judgment keep,
and justly do always.
4Remember me, Lord, with that love
which thou to thine dost bear;
With thy salvation, O my God,
to visit me draw near:
5That I thy chosen's good may see,
and in their joy rejoice;
And may with thine inheritance
triumph with cheerful voice.
6We with our fathers sinned have,
and of iniquity
Too long we have the workers been;
we have done wickedly.
7The wonders great, which thou, O Lord,
didst work in Egypt land,
Our fathers, though they saw, yet them
they did not understand:
And they thy mercies' multitude
kept not in memory;
But at the sea, ev'n the Red sea,
provok'd him grievously.
8Nevertheless he saved them,
ev'n for his own name's sake;
That so he might to be well known
his mighty power make.
9When he the Red sea did rebuke,
then dried up it was:
Through depths, as through the wilderness,
he safely made them pass.
10From hands of those that hated them
he did his people save;
And from the en'my's cruel hand
to them redemption gave.
11The waters overwhelm'd their foes;
not one was left alive.
12Then they believ'd his word,
and praise to him in songs did give.
13But soon did they his mighty works
forget unthankfully,
And on his counsel and his will
did not wait patiently;
14But much did lust in wilderness,
and God in desert tempt.
15He gave them what they sought, but to
their soul he leanness sent.
16And against Moses in the camp
their envy did appear;
At Aaron they, the saint of God,
envious also were.
17Therefore the earth did open wide,
and Dathan did devour,
And all Abiram's company
did cover in that hour.
18Likewise among their company
a fire was kindled then;
And so the hot consuming flame
burnt up these wicked men.
19Upon the hill of Horeb they
an idol-calf did frame,
A molten image they did make,
and worshipped the same.
20And thus their glory, and their God,
most vainly changed they
Into the likeness of an ox
that eateth grass or hay.
21They did forget the mighty God,
that had their saviour been,
By whom such great things brought to pass
they had in Egypt seen.
22In Ham's land he did wondrous works,
things terrible did he,
When he his mighty hand and arm
stretch'd out at the Red sea.
23Then said he, He would them destroy,
had not, his wrath to stay,
His chosen Moses stood in breach,
that them he should not slay.
24Yea, they despis'd the pleasant land,
believed not his word:
25But in their tents they murmured,
not heark'ning to the Lord.
26Therefore in desert them to slay
he lifted up his hand:
27'Mong nations to o'erthrow their seed,
and scatter in each land.
28They unto Baal-peor did
themselves associate;
The sacrifices of the dead
they did profanely eat.
29Thus, by their lewd inventions,
they did provoke his ire;
And then upon them suddenly
the plague brake in as fire.
30Then Phin'has rose, and justice did,
and so the plague did cease;
31That to all ages counted was
to him for righteousness.
32And at the waters, where they strove,
they did him angry make,
In such sort, that it fared ill
with Moses for their sake:
33Because they there his spirit meek
provoked bitterly,
So that he utter'd with his lips
words unadvisedly.
34Nor, as the Lord commanded them,
did they the nations slay:
35But with the heathen mingled were,
and learn'd of them their way.
36And they their idols serv'd, which did
a snare unto them turn.
37Their sons and daughters they to dev'ls
in sacrifice did burn.
38In their own children's guiltless blood
their hands they did imbrue,
Whom to Canaan's idols they
for sacrifices slew:
So was the land defil'd with blood.
39They stain'd with their own way,
And with their own inventions
a whoring they did stray.
40Against his people kindled was
the wrath of God therefore,
Insomuch that he did his own
inheritance abhor.
41He gave them to the heathen's hand;
their foes did them command.
42Their en'mies them oppress'd, they were
made subject to their hand.
43He many times deliver'd them;
but with their counsel so
They him provok'd, that for their sin
they were brought very low.
44Yet their affliction he beheld,
when he did hear their cry:
45And he for them his covenant
did call to memory;
After his mercies' multitude
46he did repent: And made
Them to be pity'd of all those
who did them captive lead.
47O Lord our God, us save,
and gather the heathen from among,
That we thy holy name may praise
in a triumphant song.
48Bless'd be JEHOVAH, Isr'el's God,
to all eternity:
Let all the people say, Amen.
Praise to the Lord give ye.

Psalms 106
106
1Ch 16:34–36
1Praise the Lord!
Oh, give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,
for His mercy endures forever.
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 Who can recount the mighty acts of the Lord
or declare all His praise?
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 Blessed are those who keep justice
and who do righteousness at all times.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 Remember me, O Lord, when You give favor to Your people;
visit me with Your deliverance,
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 that I may see the goodness over Your chosen ones,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
that I may glory with Your inheritance.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 We have sinned with our fathers;
we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedly.
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3 Our fathers did not consider
Your wonders in Egypt;
they did not remember the greatness of Your mercy,
but rebelled against Him at the sea, by the Red Sea.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,
that He might make His mighty power known.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was driedup,
so He led them through the depths as through the wilderness.
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 The waters covered their enemies;
there was not one of them left.
12Then they believed His words;
they sang His praise.
13But they soon forgot His works;
they did not wait for His counsel,
14but they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness
and tested God in the desert.
15He gave them their request,
but He sent a wasting disease on them.
16They envied in the camp Moses
and Aaron, the holy priest of the Lord.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan
and engulfed those led by Abiram.
18A fire broke out among their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19They made a calf at Horeb,
and worshipped the molded image.
20Thus they changed the glory of God
for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They forgot God, their Deliverer,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and marvelous deeds by the Red Sea.
23Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
had not Moses, His chosen one,
stood before Him to intercede,
to turn away His wrath from destroying them.
24Then they despised the pleasant land;
they did not believe His promise,
25but they grumbled in their tents,
and did not listen to the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore He lifted up His hand against them
and swore to overthrow them in the wilderness,
27and to overthrow their offspring among the nations,
and to scatter them in the lands.
28They joined themselves to Baal of Peor
and ate the sacrifices given for the dead.
29Thus they provoked Him to anger with their acts,
and a plague broke out upon them.
30Then Phinehas stood up and interceded,
and so the plague ceased.
31That was counted unto him for righteousness
unto all generations forever.
32They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah,
so that Moses suffered because of them,
33because they provoked his temper,
so that he spoke impulsively with his lips.
34They did not destroy the nations
as the Lord commanded them,
35but they mixed among the nations
and learned their deeds;
36they served their idols,
which were a snare to them.
37Yes, they sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons,
38and poured out innocent blood,
even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was polluted with blood.
39Thus were they defiled by their acts
and acted like whores with these actions.
40Therefore the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,
and He abhorred His own inheritance.
41He gave them into the hand of the nations,
and those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies also oppressed them,
and Israel was brought into subjection under their powerful hand.
43Many times He delivered them,
but they were rebellious against Him with their counsel,
and were afflicted for their iniquity.
44Nevertheless, He regarded their affliction,
when He heard their cry:
45and He remembered on their behalf His covenant
and relented according to the greatness of His mercies.
46He made them pitied
among all those who held them captive.
47Save us, O Lord our God,
and gather us from among the nations,
to give thanks unto Your holy name
and to boast in Your praise.
48Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting,
and let all the people say, “Amen!”
Praise the Lord!
