Psalm 106:1-18

New International Version

Psalm 106^(A)

¹Praise the Lord.^[a]^(B)

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;^(C)
his love endures forever.^(D)

²Who can proclaim the mighty acts^(E) of the Lord
or fully declare his praise?
³Blessed are those who act justly,^(F)
who always do what is right.^(G)

⁴Remember me,^(H) Lord, when you show favor^(I) to your people,
    come to my aid^(J) when you save them,
⁵that I may enjoy the prosperity^(K) of your chosen ones,^(L)
    that I may share in the joy^(M) of your nation
    and join your inheritance^(N) in giving praise.

⁶We have sinned,^(O) even as our ancestors^(P) did;
    we have done wrong and acted wickedly.^(Q)
⁷When our ancestors were in Egypt,
    they gave no thought^(R) to your miracles;
they did not remember^(S) your many kindnesses,
    and they rebelled by the sea,^(T) the Red Sea.^[b]
⁸Yet he saved them^(U) for his name’s sake,^(V)
    to make his mighty power^(W) known.
⁹He rebuked^(X) the Red Sea, and it dried up;^(Y)
    he led them through^(Z) the depths as through a desert.
¹⁰He saved them^(AA) from the hand of the foe;^(AB)
    from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.^(AC)
¹¹The waters covered^(AD) their adversaries;
    not one of them survived.
¹²Then they believed his promises
    and sang his praise.^(AE)

¹³But they soon forgot^(AF) what he had done
    and did not wait for his plan to unfold.^(AG)
¹⁴In the desert^(AH) they gave in to their craving;
    in the wilderness^(AI) they put God to the test.^(AJ)
¹⁵So he gave them^(AK) what they asked for,
    but sent a wasting disease^(AL) among them.

¹⁶In the camp they grew envious^(AM) of Moses
    and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.
¹⁷The earth opened^(AN) up and swallowed Dathan;^(AO)
    it buried the company of Abiram.^(AP)
¹⁸Fire blazed^(AQ) among their followers;
    a flame consumed the wicked.
