New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 106
A Confession of Israel’s Sins
1 Praise the Lord!
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.(A)
2 Who can utter the mighty doings of the Lord
or declare all his praise?(B)
3 Happy are those who observe justice,
who do righteousness at all times.(C)
4 Remember us,[a] O Lord, when you show favor to your people;
help us[b] when you deliver them,(D)
5 that we may see the prosperity of your chosen ones,
that we may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
that we may glory in your heritage.(E)
6 Both we and our ancestors have sinned;
we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly.(F)
Psalm 106:19-23
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 They made a calf at Horeb
and worshiped a cast image.(A)
20 They exchanged the glory of God[a]
for the image of an ox that eats grass.(B)
21 They forgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,(C)
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.[b](D)
23 Therefore he said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.(E)
