Psalm 106:19-27

English Standard Version

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

²⁴ Then they ^(H)despised ^(I)the pleasant land,
    having ^(J)no faith in his promise.
²⁵ They ^(K)murmured in their tents,
    and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
²⁶ Therefore he ^(L)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,
    ^(M)scattering them among the lands.
