Psalm 106:35-107:10

English Standard Version

³⁵but they ^(A)mixed with the nations
    and learned to do as they did.
³⁶They served their idols,
    which became ^(B)a snare to them.
³⁷They ^(C)sacrificed their sons
    and their daughters to ^(D)the demons;
³⁸they poured out innocent blood,
    the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
    and the land was ^(E)polluted with blood.
³⁹Thus they ^(F)became unclean by their acts,
    and ^(G)played the whore in their deeds.

⁴⁰Then ^(H)the anger of the Lord was kindled against ^(I)his people,
    and he abhorred his ^(J)heritage;
⁴¹he ^(K)gave them into the hand of the nations,
    so that those who hated them ruled over them.
⁴²Their enemies ^(L)oppressed them,
    and they were brought into subjection under their power.
⁴³^(M)Many times he delivered them,
    but they were rebellious in their ^(N)purposes
    and were ^(O)brought low through their iniquity.

⁴⁴Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
    when he ^(P)heard their cry.
⁴⁵For their sake he ^(Q)remembered his covenant,
    and ^(R)relented according to ^(S)the abundance of his steadfast love.
⁴⁶He caused them to be ^(T)pitied
    by all those who held them captive.

⁴⁷^(U)Save us, O Lord our God,
and ^(V)gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.

⁴⁸^(W)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
^(X)And let all the people say, “Amen!”
^(Y)Praise the Lord!

Book Five

Let the Redeemed of the Lord Say So

107 ^(Z)Oh give thanks to the Lord, ^(AA)for he is good,
    for his steadfast love endures forever!
²Let ^(AB)the redeemed of the Lord say so,
    whom he has ^(AC)redeemed from trouble^[a]
³and ^(AD)gathered in from the lands,
    from the east and from the west,
    from the north and from the south.

⁴Some ^(AE)wandered in desert wastes,
    finding no way ^(AF)to a city to dwell in;
⁵hungry and thirsty,
    their soul ^(AG)fainted within them.
⁶Then they ^(AH)cried to the Lord in their trouble,
    and he delivered them from their distress.
⁷He led them by ^(AI)a straight way
    till they reached ^(AJ)a city to dwell in.
⁸^(AK)Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
    for his wondrous works to the children of man!
⁹For he ^(AL)satisfies the longing soul,
    ^(AM)and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
