Psalm 106:1-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴ Remember me, O Lord, when you show favour to your people;
    help me when you deliver them;
⁵ that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones,
    that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
    that I may glory in your heritage.

⁶ Both we and our ancestors have sinned;
    we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly.
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]
8 Yet he saved them for his name’s sake,
    so that he might make known his mighty power.
⁹ He rebuked the Red Sea,^[c] and it became dry;
    he led them through the deep as through a desert.
¹⁰ So he saved them from the hand of the foe,
    and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.
¹¹ The waters covered their adversaries;
    not one of them was left.
¹² Then they believed his words;
    they sang his praise.

¹³ But they soon forgot his works;
    they did not wait for his counsel.
¹⁴ But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness,
    and put God to the test in the desert;
¹⁵ he gave them what they asked,
    but sent a wasting disease among them.

¹⁶ They were jealous of Moses in the camp,
    and of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
    and covered the faction of Abiram.
¹⁸ Fire also broke out in their company;
    the flame burned up the wicked.
