Psalm 106:24-48
Christian Standard Bible
24 They despised the pleasant land
and did not believe his promise.(A)
25 They grumbled in their tents
and did not listen to the Lord.(B)
26 So he raised his hand against them with an oath
that he would make them fall in the desert(C)
27 and would disperse their descendants[a]
among the nations,
scattering them throughout the lands.(D)
28 They aligned themselves with Baal of Peor
and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.[b](E)
29 They angered the Lord with their deeds,
and a plague broke out against them.(F)
30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was stopped.(G)
31 It was credited to him as righteousness
throughout all generations to come.(H)
32 They angered the Lord at the Waters of Meribah,
and Moses suffered[c] because of them,(I)
33 for they embittered his spirit,[d]
and he spoke rashly with his lips.(J)
34 They did not destroy the peoples
as the Lord had commanded them(K)
35 but mingled with the nations
and adopted their ways.(L)
36 They served their idols,
which became a snare to them.(M)
37 They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.(N)
38 They shed innocent blood—
the blood of their sons and daughters
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
so the land became polluted with blood.(O)
39 They defiled themselves by their actions
and prostituted themselves by their deeds.(P)
40 Therefore the Lord’s anger burned against his people,
and he abhorred his own inheritance.(Q)
41 He handed them over to the nations;
those who hated them ruled over them.(R)
42 Their enemies oppressed them,
and they were subdued under their power.(S)
43 He rescued them many times,
but they continued to rebel deliberately
and were beaten down by their iniquity.(T)
44 When he heard their cry,
he took note of their distress,(U)
45 remembered his covenant with them,
and relented according to the abundance
of his faithful love.(V)
46 He caused them to be pitied
before all their captors.(W)
47 Save us, Lord our God,
and gather us from the nations,
so that we may give thanks to your holy name
and rejoice in your praise.(X)
48 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.(Y)
Let all the people say, “Amen!”
Hallelujah!(Z)
Psalm 106:24-48
New International Version
Psalm 106:24-48
New International Version
24 Then they despised(A) the pleasant land;(B)
they did not believe(C) his promise.
25 They grumbled(D) in their tents
and did not obey the Lord.
26 So he swore(E) to them with uplifted hand
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,(F)
27 make their descendants fall among the nations
and scatter(G) them throughout the lands.
28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor(H)
and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
29 they aroused the Lord’s anger(I) by their wicked deeds,(J)
and a plague(K) broke out among them.
30 But Phinehas(L) stood up and intervened,
and the plague was checked.(M)
31 This was credited to him(N) as righteousness
for endless generations(O) to come.
32 By the waters of Meribah(P) they angered the Lord,
and trouble came to Moses because of them;
33 for they rebelled(Q) against the Spirit(R) of God,
and rash words came from Moses’ lips.[a](S)
34 They did not destroy(T) the peoples
as the Lord had commanded(U) them,
35 but they mingled(V) with the nations
and adopted their customs.
36 They worshiped their idols,(W)
which became a snare(X) to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons(Y)
and their daughters to false gods.(Z)
38 They shed innocent blood,
the blood of their sons(AA) and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was desecrated by their blood.
39 They defiled themselves(AB) by what they did;
by their deeds they prostituted(AC) themselves.
40 Therefore the Lord was angry(AD) with his people
and abhorred his inheritance.(AE)
41 He gave them into the hands(AF) of the nations,
and their foes ruled over them.
42 Their enemies oppressed(AG) them
and subjected them to their power.
43 Many times he delivered them,(AH)
but they were bent on rebellion(AI)
and they wasted away in their sin.
44 Yet he took note of their distress
when he heard their cry;(AJ)
45 for their sake he remembered his covenant(AK)
and out of his great love(AL) he relented.(AM)
46 He caused all who held them captive
to show them mercy.(AN)
47 Save us,(AO) Lord our God,
and gather us(AP) from the nations,
that we may give thanks(AQ) to your holy name(AR)
and glory in your praise.
48 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.
Let all the people say, “Amen!”(AS)
Praise the Lord.
