Psalm 106:1-31

English Standard Version

^4 (F)Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people;
    help me when you save them,^[a]
5 that I may look upon the prosperity of your ^(G)chosen ones,
    that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
    that I may glory with your inheritance.

^6 (H)Both we and ^(I)our fathers have sinned;
    we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
⁷ Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
    did not consider your wondrous works;
they ^(J)did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
    but ^(K)rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
⁸ Yet he saved them ^(L)for his name's sake,
    ^(M)that he might make known his mighty power.
⁹ He ^(N)rebuked the Red Sea, and it ^(O)became dry,
    and he ^(P)led them through the deep as through a desert.
¹⁰ So he ^(Q)saved them from the hand of the foe
    and ^(R)redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
¹¹ And ^(S)the waters covered their adversaries;
    not one of them was left.
¹² Then ^(T)they believed his words;
    they ^(U)sang his praise.

¹³ But they soon ^(V)forgot his works;
    they did not wait for ^(W)his counsel.
¹⁴ But they had ^(X)a wanton craving in the wilderness,
    and ^(Y)put God to the test in the desert;
¹⁵ he ^(Z)gave them what they asked,
    but sent ^(AA)a wasting disease among them.

¹⁶ When men in the camp ^(AB)were jealous of Moses
    and Aaron, ^(AC)the holy one of the Lord,
^17 (AD)the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
    and covered the company of Abiram.
^18 (AE)Fire also broke out in their company;
    the flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹ They ^(AF)made a calf in Horeb
    and worshiped a metal image.
²⁰ They ^(AG)exchanged the glory of God^[b]
    for the image of an ox that eats grass.
²¹ They ^(AH)forgot God, their Savior,
    who had done great things in Egypt,
²² wondrous works in ^(AI)the land of Ham,
    and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
²³ Therefore ^(AJ)he said he would destroy them—
    had not Moses, his ^(AK)chosen one,
^(AL)stood in the breach before him,
    to turn away his wrath from destroying them.

²⁴ Then they ^(AM)despised ^(AN)the pleasant land,
    having ^(AO)no faith in his promise.
²⁵ They ^(AP)murmured in their tents,
    and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
²⁶ Therefore he ^(AQ)raised his hand and swore to them
    that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
²⁷ and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
    ^(AR)scattering them among the lands.

²⁸ Then they ^(AS)yoked themselves to the ^(AT)Baal of Peor,
    and ate sacrifices offered to ^(AU)the dead;
²⁹ they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
    and a plague broke out among them.
³⁰ Then ^(AV)Phinehas stood up and intervened,
    and the plague was stayed.
³¹ And that was ^(AW)counted to him as righteousness
    from generation to generation forever.
