Psalm 106

Confitemini Domino

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.

¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb*

and worshiped a molten image.

²⁰ Thus they exchanged their glory*

for the image of a calf that feeds on hay.

²¹ And they forgot God their Savior,*

who had done great things in Egypt,

²² Wondrous works in the land of Ham,*

and fearful things by the Red Sea.

²³ So he said he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the gap*

to turn away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them.

²⁴ Then they scorned that pleasant land*

and gave no credence to his word,

²⁵ But murmured in their tents*

and did not hearken to the voice of the Lord.

²⁶ Then he lifted up his hand against them*

to overthrow them in the wilderness,

²⁷ To cast out their seed among the nations,*

and to scatter them in all the lands.

²⁸ They joined themselves to Baal-Peor*

and ate the offerings to the dead.

²⁹ Thus they provoked him to anger with their wanton deeds,*

and the plague broke out among them.

³⁰ Then Phineas stood up and interceded,*

and so the plague was ended;

³¹ And that was counted to him as righteousness*

among all generations for evermore.

³² They angered him also at the waters of strife,*

so that he punished Moses for their misdeeds;

³³ For they provoked him to anger,*

so that he spoke rashly with his lips.

³⁴ Neither did they destroy the peoples*

as the Lord commanded them,

³⁵ But intermingled among the nations*

and learned their heathen ways,

³⁶ So that they worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them;*

they offered their sons and their daughters to demons,

³⁷ And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,*

whom they offered to the idols of Canaan; and the land was defiled with blood.

³⁸ Thus were they defiled by their own works*

and went whoring with their own deeds.

³⁹ Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people,*

and he abhorred his own inheritance,

⁴⁰ And he gave them over into the hands of the nations,*

and those who hated them were lords over them.

⁴¹ Their enemies oppressed them*

and held them in subjection.

⁴² Many a time did he deliver them,*

but they rebelled against him through their own devices, and were brought down in their wickedness.

⁴³ Nevertheless, when he saw their adversity,*

when he heard their lamentation,

⁴⁴ He remembered his covenant and pitied them, according to the multitude of his mercies;*

he made all those who led them away captive to pity them.

⁴⁵ Deliver us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations,*

that we may give thanks to your holy Name and make our boast of your praise.

⁴⁶ Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and world without end,*

and let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the Lord.
