Psalm 106

106 Praise the Lord!
    Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
    because his faithful love endures forever.
Who could possibly repeat all of the Lord’s mighty acts
    or publicly recount all his praise?

The people who uphold justice,
    who always do what is right, are truly happy!
Remember me, Lord, with the favor you show your people.
    Visit me with your saving help
        so I can experience the good things your chosen ones experience,
        so I can rejoice in the joy of your nation,
        so I can praise along with your possession.

We have sinned—right along with our ancestors.
    We’ve done what is wrong.
    We’ve acted wickedly.

  1. Psalm 106:1 Hebrew Hallelu Yah; also in verse 48

19 They made a calf at Horeb,
    bowing down to a metal idol.
20 They traded their glorious God[a]
    for an image of a bull that eats grass.
21 They forgot the God who saved them—
    the one who had done great things in Egypt,
22     wondrous works in the land of Ham,
    awesome deeds at the Reed Sea.
23 So God determined that he would destroy them—
    except for the fact that Moses, his chosen one,
    stood in the way, right in front of him,
    and turned God’s destructive anger away.

  1. Psalm 106:20 Or their Glory

19 At Horeb they made a calf(A)
    and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
20 They exchanged their glorious God(B)
    for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
21 They forgot the God(C) who saved them,
    who had done great things(D) in Egypt,
22 miracles in the land of Ham(E)
    and awesome deeds(F) by the Red Sea.
23 So he said he would destroy(G) them—
    had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach(H) before him
    to keep his wrath from destroying them.
