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!

Adonai Still Faithful to Israel
1Halleluyah! Praise Adonai, for He is good, for His lovingkindness endures forever.
2Who can speak of Adonai’s mighty acts or declare His praise?
3Blessed are those who maintain justice, who do what is right at all times.
4Remember me, Adonai, when You show favor to Your people. Visit me with Your salvation,
5so I may behold the prosperity of Your chosen ones, exult in the joy of Your nation, and give praise with Your inheritance.
6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly.
7Our fathers in Egypt did not ponder Your wonders. Nor did they remember Your abundant lovingkindness, but rebelled by the sea— at the Sea of Reeds.
8Yet He saved them for His Name’s sake, to make His mighty power known.
9He rebuked the Sea of Reeds and it dried up, and He led them through the depths as through a wilderness.
10So He saved them from the hand of those who hated them, redeemed them from the enemy’s hand.
11The waters covered their adversaries— not one of them was left.
12Then they believed His words. They were singing His praise.
13How quickly they forgot His works, and would not wait for His counsel!
14In the wilderness they craved ravenously, in the desert they tested God.
15So He gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them.
16Then they envied Moses in the camp, and also Aaron, the holy one of Adonai.
17The earth opened up, swallowed Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18Also a fire blazed in their company, a flame consumed the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped a molten image.
20Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a grass-eating ox.
21They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt—
22miracles in the land of Ham, awesome things by the Sea of Reeds.
23So He commanded their extermination, had not Moses, His chosen one, stood in the breach before Him, to turn His wrath from destroying them.
24Then they scorned the pleasing land— they did not trust in His word.
25Instead, they grumbled in their tents. They would not listen to Adonai’s voice.
26Therefore He swore to them that He would make them fall in the desert,
27and disperse their offspring among the nations, and scatter them through the lands.
28Then they yoked themselves to Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of dead things.
29So they provoked Him with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
30But Phinehas stood up and intervened, so the plague was stopped.
31It was credited to him as righteousness, from generation to generation forever.
32By the waters of Meribah they angered Him, and trouble came on Moses because of them.
33For they embittered his spirit and he spoke rashly with his lips.
34They did not destroy the peoples, as Adonai had commanded them.
35Instead they mingled with the nations and learned their practices.
36They worshipped their idols, which became a snare to them.
37They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38They shed innocent blood—the blood of their sons and their daughters, sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. So the land was desecrated with blood.
39So they defiled themselves by their deeds, and prostituted themselves by their practices.
40Therefore the anger of Adonai was kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.
41He handed them to the nations— those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies oppressed them, so they were subdued under their hand.
43Many times He delivered them, but they kept rebelling deliberately, and so sank low into their iniquity.
44Yet He saw their distress, when He heard their cry,
45remembered His covenant to them, and relented in the greatness of His mercy.
46He caused them to be pitied in the presence of all their captors.
47Save us, Adonai our God, and gather us from the nations, so we may praise Your holy Name and triumph in Your praise.
48Blessed be Adonai, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen!” Halleluyah!
