Psalm 106:1-15
Psalm 106
Praise the Lord.
Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good.
His faithful love continues forever.
Who can speak enough about the mighty acts of the Lord?
Who can praise him as much as he should be praised?
Blessed are those who always do what is fair.
Blessed are those who keep doing what is right.
Lord, remember me when you bless your people.
Help me when you save them.
Then I will enjoy the good things you give your chosen ones.
I will be joyful together with your people.
I will join them when they praise you.
We have sinned, just as our people of long ago did.
We too have done what is evil and wrong.
When our people were in Egypt,
they forgot about the Lord’s miracles.
They didn’t remember his many kind acts.
At the Red Sea they refused to obey him.
But he saved them for the honor of his name.
He did it to make his mighty power known.
He ordered the Red Sea to dry up, and it did.
He led his people through it as if it were a desert.
He saved them from the power of their enemies.
He set them free from their control.
The waters covered their enemies.
Not one of them escaped alive.
Then his people believed his promises
and sang praise to him.
But they soon forgot what he had done.
They didn’t wait for what he had planned to happen.
In the desert they longed for food.
In that dry and empty land they tested God.
So he gave them what they asked for.
But he also sent a sickness that killed many of them.
