Psalm 106

A Confession of Israel’s Sins

Praise the Lord!

    for his steadfast love endures forever.(A)

    or declare all his praise?(B)

Both we and our ancestors have sinned;
    we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly.(A)
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](B)
Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,
    so that he might make known his mighty power.(C)
He rebuked the Red Sea,[c] and it became dry;
    he led them through the deep as through a desert.(D)
10 So he saved them from the hand of the foe
    and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.(E)
