Psalm 106:19-27

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ At Horeb they made a calf
and worshiped the cast metal image.^(A)
20 They exchanged their glory^[a][b]
for the image of a grass-eating ox.^(B)
21 They forgot God their Savior,
who did great things in Egypt,^(C)
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,^[c]
awe-inspiring acts at the Red Sea.^(D)
23 So he said he would have destroyed them—
if Moses his chosen one
had not stood before him in the breach
to turn his wrath away from destroying them.^(E)

²⁴ They despised the pleasant land
and did not believe his promise.^(F)
25 They grumbled in their tents
and did not listen to the Lord.^(G)
26 So he raised his hand against them with an oath
that he would make them fall in the desert^(H)
27 and would disperse their descendants^[d]
among the nations,
scattering them throughout the lands.^(I)
