Psalm 106:19-27

Good News Translation

^19 (A)They made a gold bull-calf at Sinai
    and worshiped that idol;
²⁰ they exchanged the glory of God
    for the image of an animal that eats grass.
²¹ They forgot the God who had saved them
    by his mighty acts in Egypt.
²² What wonderful things he did there!
    What amazing things at the Red Sea!
²³ When God said that he would destroy his people,
    his chosen servant, Moses, stood up against God
    and kept his anger from destroying them.

^24 (B)Then they rejected the pleasant land,
    because they did not believe God's promise.
²⁵ They stayed in their tents and grumbled
    and would not listen to the Lord.
²⁶ So he have them a solemn warning
    that he would make them die in the desert
^27 (C)and scatter their descendants among the heathen,
    letting them die in foreign countries.
