Psalm 106:34-48

New King James Version

^34 (A)They did not destroy the peoples,
^(B)Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,
^35 (C)But they mingled with the Gentiles
And learned their works;
^36 (D)They served their idols,
^(E)Which became a snare to them.
^37 (F)They even sacrificed their sons
And their daughters to ^(G)demons,
³⁸ And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And ^(H)the land was polluted with blood.
³⁹ Thus they ^[a]were ^(I)defiled by their own works,
And ^(J)played^[b] the harlot by their own deeds.

⁴⁰ Therefore ^(K)the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,
So that He abhorred ^(L)His own inheritance.
⁴¹ And ^(M)He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles,
And those who hated them ruled over them.
⁴² Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
^43 (N)Many times He delivered them;
But they rebelled in their counsel,
And were brought low for their iniquity.

⁴⁴ Nevertheless He regarded their affliction,
When ^(O)He heard their cry;
^45 (P)And for their sake He remembered His covenant,
And ^(Q)relented ^(R)according to the multitude of His mercies.
^46 (S)He also made them to be pitied
By all those who carried them away captive.

^47 (T)Save us, O Lord our God,
And gather us from among the Gentiles,
To give thanks to Your holy name,
To triumph in Your praise.

^48 (U)Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
And let all the people say, “Amen!”

^[c]Praise the Lord!
