Psalm 106:7-48
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Our ancestors, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wonderful works;
they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love
but rebelled against the Most High[a] at the Red Sea.[b](A)
8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,
so that he might make known his mighty power.(B)
9 He rebuked the Red Sea,[c] and it became dry;
he led them through the deep as through a desert.(C)
10 So he saved them from the hand of the foe
and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.(D)
11 The waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left.(E)
12 Then they believed his words;
they sang his praise.(F)
13 But they soon forgot his works;
they did not wait for his counsel.(G)
14 But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness
and put God to the test in the desert;(H)
15 he gave them what they asked
but sent a wasting disease among them.(I)
16 They were jealous of Moses in the camp
and of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.(J)
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan
and covered the faction of Abiram.(K)
18 Fire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.(L)
19 They made a calf at Horeb
and worshiped a cast image.(M)
20 They exchanged the glory of God[d]
for the image of an ox that eats grass.(N)
21 They forgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,(O)
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.[e](P)
23 Therefore he said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.(Q)
24 Then they despised the pleasant land,
having no faith in his promise.(R)
25 They grumbled in their tents
and did not obey the voice of the Lord.(S)
26 Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness(T)
27 and would disperse[f] their descendants among the nations,
scattering them over the lands.(U)
28 Then they attached themselves to the Baal of Peor
and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;(V)
29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
30 Then Phinehas stood up and interceded,
and the plague was stopped.(W)
31 And that has been reckoned to him as righteousness
from generation to generation forever.(X)
32 They angered the Lord[g] at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account,(Y)
33 for they made his spirit bitter,
and he spoke words that were rash.(Z)
34 They did not destroy the peoples,
as the Lord had commanded them,(AA)
35 but they mingled with the nations
and learned to do as they did.(AB)
36 They served their idols,
which became a snare to them.(AC)
37 They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to the demons;(AD)
38 they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was polluted with blood.(AE)
39 Thus they became unclean by their acts
and prostituted themselves in their doings.(AF)
40 Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people,
and he abhorred his heritage;(AG)
41 he gave them into the hand of the nations,
so that those who hated them ruled over them.(AH)
42 Their enemies oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their power.
43 Many times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their purposes
and were brought low through their iniquity.(AI)
44 Nevertheless, he regarded their distress
when he heard their cry.(AJ)
45 For their sake he remembered his covenant
and showed compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love.(AK)
46 He caused them to be pitied
by all who held them captive.(AL)
47 Save us, O Lord our God,
and gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.(AM)
48 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
And let all the people say, “Amen.”
Praise the Lord!(AN)
Nehemiah 9:16-20
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 “But they, our ancestors, acted presumptuously and stiffened their necks and did not obey your commandments;(A) 17 they refused to obey and were not mindful of the wonders that you performed among them, but they stiffened their necks and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But you are a God ready to forgive, gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love, and you did not forsake them.(B) 18 Even when they had cast an image of a calf for themselves and said, ‘This is your God who brought you up out of Egypt,’ and had committed great blasphemies,(C) 19 you in your great mercies did not forsake them in the wilderness; the pillar of cloud that led them in the way did not leave them by day nor the pillar of fire by night that gave them light on the way by which they should go.(D) 20 You gave your good spirit to instruct them and did not withhold your manna from their mouths and gave them water for their thirst.(E)
