Psalms 106 NASB - New American Standard BibleNo. 106 of the Psalms—New American Standard Bible (NASB)
- ¶ [a]Praise [b]the LORD!
Oh 1give thanks to the LORD, for He 2is good;
For 3His lovingkindness is everlasting. - Who can speak of the 4mighty deeds of the LORD,
Or can show forth all His praise? - How blessed are those who keep [c]justice,
[d]Who 5practice righteousness at all times! - ¶ Remember me, O LORD, in Your 6favor [e]toward Your people;
Visit me with Your salvation, - That I may see the 7prosperity of Your chosen ones,
That I may 8rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may 9glory with Your [f]inheritance. - ¶ 10We have sinned [g]11like our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly. - Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your [h]wonders;
They 12did not remember [i]Your abundant kindnesses,
But 13rebelled by the sea, at the [j]Red Sea. - Nevertheless He saved them 14for the sake of His name,
That He might 15make His power known. - Thus He 16rebuked the [k]Red Sea and it 17dried up,
And He 18led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness. - So He 19saved them from the [l]hand of the one who hated them,
And 20redeemed them from the [m]hand of the enemy. - 21The waters covered their adversaries;
Not one of them was left. - Then they 22believed His words;
They 23sang His praise. - ¶ They quickly 24forgot His works;
They 25did not wait for His counsel, - But 26craved intensely in the wilderness,
And [n]27tempted God in the desert. - So He 28gave them their request,
But 29sent a [o]wasting disease among them. - ¶ When they became 30envious of Moses in the camp,
And of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD, - The 31earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
And engulfed the [p]company of Abiram. - And a 32fire blazed up in their [q]company;
The flame consumed the wicked. - ¶ They 33made a calf in Horeb
And worshiped a molten image. - Thus they 34exchanged their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass. - They 35forgot God their Savior,
Who had done 36great things in Egypt, - [r]37Wonders in the land of Ham
And awesome things by the [s]Red Sea. - Therefore 38He said that He would destroy them,
Had not 39Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them. - Then they 40despised the 41pleasant land;
They 42did not believe in His word, - But 43grumbled in their tents;
They did not listen to the voice of the LORD. - Therefore He [t]44swore to them
That He would cast them down in the wilderness, - And that He would 45cast their seed among the nations
And 46scatter them in the lands. - ¶ They 47joined themselves also to [u]Baal-peor,
And ate 48sacrifices offered to the dead. - Thus they 49provoked Him to anger with their deeds,
And the plague broke out among them. - Then Phinehas 50stood up and interposed,
And so the 51plague was stayed. - And it was 52reckoned to him for righteousness,
To all generations forever. - ¶ They also 53provoked Him to wrath at the waters of [v]Meribah,
So that it 54went hard with Moses on their account; - Because they 55were rebellious against [w]His Spirit,
He spoke rashly with his lips. - ¶ They 56did not destroy the peoples,
As 57the LORD commanded them, - But 58they mingled with the nations
And learned their [x]practices, - And 59served their idols,
60Which became a snare to them. - They even 61sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the 62demons,
- And shed 63innocent blood,
The blood of their 64sons and their daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was 65polluted with the blood. - Thus they became 66unclean in their [y]practices,
And 67played the harlot in their deeds. - ¶ Therefore the 68anger of the LORD was kindled against His people
And He 69abhorred His [z]70inheritance. - Then 71He gave them into the hand of the [aa]nations,
And those who hated them ruled over them. - Their enemies also 72oppressed them,
And they were subdued under their [ab]power. - Many times He would 73deliver them;
They, however, were rebellious in their 74counsel,
And so 75sank down in their iniquity. - ¶ Nevertheless He looked upon their distress
When He 76heard their cry; - And He 77remembered His covenant for their sake,
And [ac]78relented 79according to the greatness of His lovingkindness. - He also made them 80objects of compassion
In the presence of all their captors. - ¶ 81Save us, O LORD our God,
And 82gather us from among the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name
And [ad]83glory in Your praise. - 84Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
And let all the people say, “Amen.”
[ae]Praise [af]the LORD!
