Psalms 106:35-48
-
35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
-
36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
-
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
-
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
-
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
-
40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
-
41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
-
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
-
43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
-
44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
-
45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
-
46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
-
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
-
48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
