Psalm 106:1–18 | Liturgical Calendar

1

O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious, *

and his mercy endures for ever.

2

Who can express the mighty acts of the Lord, *

or show forth all his praise?

3

Blessed are those who act with justice, *

and who always do righteousness.

4

Remember me, O Lord, according to the favor that you show to your people; *

O visit me with your salvation,

5

That I may see the felicity of your chosen, *

and rejoice in the gladness of your people, and give thanks with your inheritance.

6

We have sinned like our fathers; *

we have done wrong and dealt wickedly.

7

Our fathers regarded not your wonders in Egypt, neither did they keep your great goodness in remembrance, *

but were disobedient at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

8

Nevertheless, he saved them for his Name’s sake, *

that he might make his power known.

9

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; *

so he led them through the deep as through a wilderness.

10

And he saved them from the adversary’s hand, *

and delivered them from the hand of the enemy.

11

As for those who troubled them, the waters overwhelmed them; *

there was not one of them left.

12

Then they believed his words *

and sang praises unto him.

13

But soon they forgot his works *

and would not wait for his counsel.

14

A craving came upon them in the wilderness, *

and they tempted God in the desert.

15

So he gave them their desire, *

and sent leanness into their soul.

16

They were envious of Moses also in the camp, *

and of Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

17

So the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan *

and covered the company of Abiram,

18

And fire was kindled in their company; *

the flame burnt up the ungodly.
