Psalms 106:4-23
-
4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
-
5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
-
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
-
7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
-
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
-
9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
-
10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
-
11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
-
12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
-
13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
-
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
-
15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
-
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
-
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
-
18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
-
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
-
20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
-
21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
-
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
-
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
