106:1Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

106:2Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?

106:3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

106:4Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

106:5That 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.

106:6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

106:7Our 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.

106:8Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

106:9He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

106:10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

106:11And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

106:12Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

106:13They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

106:14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

106:15And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

106:16They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

106:17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

106:18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

106:19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

106:20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

106:21They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

106:22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

106:23Therefore 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.

106:24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

106:25But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

106:26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

106:27To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

106:28They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

106:29Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

106:30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

106:31And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

106:32They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

106:33Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

106:34They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

106:35But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

106:36And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

106:37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

106:38And 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.

106:39Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

106:40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

106:41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

106:42Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

106:43Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

106:44Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

106:45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

106:46He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

106:47Save 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.

106:48Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

107:1O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

107:2Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;

107:3And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.

107:4They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

107:5Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

107:6Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

107:7And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

107:8Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:9For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

107:10Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

107:11Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:

107:12Therefore he brought down their heart with labour; they fell down, and there was none to help.

107:13Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

107:14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

107:15Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:16For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

107:17Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.

107:18Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.

107:19Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

107:20He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

107:21Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:22And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.

107:23They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

107:24These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

107:25For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

107:26They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.

107:27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

107:28Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

107:29He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.

107:30Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.

107:31Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!

107:32Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

107:33He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;

107:34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

107:35He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.

107:36And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;

107:37And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.

107:38He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.

107:39Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

107:40He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

107:41Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

107:42The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

107:43Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD.

108:0A Song or Psalm of David.

108:1O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise, even with my glory.

108:2Awake, psaltery and harp: I myself will awake early.

108:3I will praise thee, O LORD, among the people: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

108:4For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth reacheth unto the clouds.

108:5Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: and thy glory above all the earth;

108:6That thy beloved may be delivered: save with thy right hand, and answer me.

108:7God hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shechem, and mete out the valley of Succoth.

108:8Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver;

108:9Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

108:10Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?

108:11Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

108:12Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

108:13Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
