Psalm 106:1-6

Psalm 106(A)

1 Praise the Lord.[a](B)

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;(C)
    his love endures forever.(D)

2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts(E) of the Lord
    or fully declare his praise?
3 Blessed are those who act justly,(F)
    who always do what is right.(G)

4 Remember me,(H) Lord, when you show favor(I) to your people,
    come to my aid(J) when you save them,
5 that I may enjoy the prosperity(K) of your chosen ones,(L)
    that I may share in the joy(M) of your nation
    and join your inheritance(N) in giving praise.

6 We have sinned,(O) even as our ancestors(P) did;
    we have done wrong and acted wickedly.(Q)

Psalm 106:13-23

13 But they soon forgot(A) what he had done
    and did not wait for his plan to unfold.(B)
14 In the desert(C) they gave in to their craving;
    in the wilderness(D) they put God to the test.(E)
15 So he gave them(F) what they asked for,
    but sent a wasting disease(G) among them.

16 In the camp they grew envious(H) of Moses
    and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.
17 The earth opened(I) up and swallowed Dathan;(J)
    it buried the company of Abiram.(K)
18 Fire blazed(L) among their followers;
    a flame consumed the wicked.
19 At Horeb they made a calf(M)
    and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
20 They exchanged their glorious God(N)
    for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
21 They forgot the God(O) who saved them,
    who had done great things(P) in Egypt,
22 miracles in the land of Ham(Q)
    and awesome deeds(R) by the Red Sea.
23 So he said he would destroy(S) them—
    had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach(T) before him
    to keep his wrath from destroying them.

Psalm 106:47-48

47 Save us,(A) Lord our God,
    and gather us(B) from the nations,
that we may give thanks(C) to your holy name(D)
    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!”(E)

Praise the Lord.

Deuteronomy 4:15-20

Idolatry Forbidden

15 You saw no form(A) of any kind the day the Lord spoke to you at Horeb(B) out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,(C) 16 so that you do not become corrupt(D) and make for yourselves an idol,(E) an image of any shape, whether formed like a man or a woman, 17 or like any animal on earth or any bird that flies in the air,(F) 18 or like any creature that moves along the ground or any fish in the waters below. 19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun,(G) the moon and the stars(H)—all the heavenly array(I)—do not be enticed(J) into bowing down to them and worshiping(K) things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven. 20 But as for you, the Lord took you and brought you out of the iron-smelting furnace,(L) out of Egypt,(M) to be the people of his inheritance,(N) as you now are.

1 Peter 2:19-25

19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.(A) 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.(B) 21 To this(C) you were called,(D) because Christ suffered for you,(E) leaving you an example,(F) that you should follow in his steps.

22 “He committed no sin,(G)
    and no deceit was found in his mouth.”[a](H)

23 When they hurled their insults at him,(I) he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats.(J) Instead, he entrusted himself(K) to him who judges justly.(L) 24 “He himself bore our sins”(M) in his body on the cross,(N) so that we might die to sins(O) and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”(P) 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,”[b](Q) but now you have returned to the Shepherd(R) and Overseer of your souls.(S)
