Psalms 106
106
God Is Good
1Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
Everyone thank God, for he is good and easy to please.
Your tender love for us, Lord, continues on forever.
2Who could ever fully describe your glorious miracles?
Yahweh, who could ever praise you enough?
3The happiest one on earth is the one who keeps your word
and clings to righteousness every moment.
4So remember me, Lord, as you take joy in your people.
And when you come to bring the blessings of salvation,
don’t forget me!
5Let me share in the wealth and beauty of all your devoted lovers,
rejoice with your nation in all their joys,
and let me share in the glory you give to your chosen ones.
6We have all sinned so much, just like our fathers.
“Guilty” is written over our lives.
7Our fathers who were delivered from Egypt
didn’t fully understand your wonders,
and they took you for granted.
Over and over you showed them such tender love and mercy!
Yet they were barely beyond the Red Sea
when they rebelled against you.
8Nonetheless, you saved them more than once
so they would know how powerful you are,
showing them the honor of your name.
9You roared over the waters of the Red Sea,
making a dry path for your people to cross through.
10You freed them from the strong power
of those who oppressed them
and rescued them from bondage.
11Then the waters rushed over their enemies and drowned them all—
not one survived.
12Seeing this, the people believed your words,
and they all broke out with songs of praise!
13Yet how quickly they forgot your miracles of power.
They wouldn’t wait for you to act when they were hungry,
14but demanded you satisfy their cravings and give them food!
They tested you to the breaking point.
15So you gave them what they wanted to eat,
but their souls starved away to nothing.
16They became envious of Moses and Aaron, your holy ones.
17You split open the earth, and it swallowed up
Dathan and Abiram along with their followers.
18Fire fell from heaven and burnt up all the band of rebels,
turning them to ashes.
19They made an idol of a calf at Sinai
and bowed to worship their man-made statue.
20They preferred the image of a grass-eating ox
to the presence of the glory-filled God.
21-22They totally forgot it was you who saved them
by the wonders and awesome miracles you worked in Egypt.
23So you decided to destroy them.
But Moses, your chosen leader,
stood in the gap between you and the people
and made intercession on their behalf
to turn away your wrath from killing them all.
24Yet they still didn’t believe your words
and they despised the land of delight you gave to them.
25They grumbled and found fault with everything
and closed their hearts to your voice.
26So you solemnly swore to them
that they would all die in the desert.
27And you scattered their children to distant lands to die as exiles.
28Then our fathers joined the worshipers
of the false god named “Lord of the Pit.”
They even ate the sacrifices offered to the dead!
29All they did made you burn with anger.
It made you so angry that a plague broke out among them!
30It continued until Phineas intervened and executed
the guilty for causing judgment to fall upon them. # 106:30 This is implicit information found in the story of Phineas (Num. 25:7–9).
31Because of this deed of righteousness
Phineas will be remembered forever.
32Your people also provoked you to wrath
at the stream called Strife. # 106:32 The word used here is Meribah, the Hebrew word for “strife” (Num. 20:1–13).
This is where Moses got into serious trouble!
33Because the people were rebellious against you,
Moses exploded in anger and spoke to them out of his bitterness.
34Neither did our fathers destroy the enemies in the land,
as you had commanded them.
35But they mingled themselves with their enemies
and learned to copy their works of darkness.
36They began to serve their gods and bow before their idols.
All of this led them away from you
and brought about their downfall.
37They even sacrificed their little children to the demon spirits,
38-39shedding the innocent blood of their sons and daughters.
These dark practices greatly defiled the land and their own souls,
through the murder and bloodshed of their own babies!
Their sins made them spiritual adulterers before you.
40This is why you were furious.
As your anger burned hot against them,
you couldn’t even stand to look
at your very own people any longer!
41So you turned them over to the crushing hands of other nations,
and those who hated them became tyrants over them.
42Oppressive enemies subdued them,
ruling over them with their tyranny.
43Many times you would have come to rescue them,
but they continued in their rebellious ways,
choosing to ignore your warnings.
Then they sank lower and lower, destroyed by their depravity.
44-45Yet even so, you waited and waited,
watching to see if they would turn
and cry out to you for a father’s help.
And then, when you heard their cry,
you relented and you remembered your covenant,
and you turned your heart toward them again,
according to your abundant, overflowing, and limitless love.
46Then you caused even their oppressors
to pity them and show them compassion.
47Do it again, Lord! Save us, O Lord, our God!
Gather us from our exile and unite us together
so that we will give our great and joyous thanks to you again
and bring you glory by our praises.
48Blessed be our Lord God forever and ever.
And let everyone everywhere say, “Hallelujah!”
Amen! Faithful is our King!

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!
