90:1

A Prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.

90:2

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God.

90:3

Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.

90:4

For a thousand years in thy sight [are but] as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.

90:5

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning [they are] like grass [which] groweth up.

90:6

In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.

90:7

For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.

90:8

Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.

90:9

For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale [that is told].

90:10

The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.

90:11

Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, [so is] thy wrath.

90:12

So teach [us] to number our days, that we may apply [our] hearts unto wisdom.

90:13

Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.

90:14

O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.

90:15

Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, [and] the years [wherein] we have seen evil.

90:16

Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.

90:17

And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

91:1

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

91:2

I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

91:3

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence.

91:4

He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler.

91:5

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day;

91:6

[Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday.

91:7

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee.

91:8

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

91:9

Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation;

91:10

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

91:11

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

91:12

They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

91:13

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

91:14

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

91:15

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

91:16

With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

92:1

A Psalm [or] Song for the sabbath day. [It is a] good [thing] to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

92:2

To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night,

92:3

Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound.

92:4

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands.

92:5

O LORD, how great are thy works! [and] thy thoughts are very deep.

92:6

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

92:7

When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; [it is] that they shall be destroyed for ever:

92:8

But thou, LORD, [art most] high for evermore.

92:9

For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

92:10

But my horn shalt thou exalt like [the horn of] an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil.

92:11

Mine eye also shall see [my desire] on mine enemies, [and] mine ears shall hear [my desire] of the wicked that rise up against me.

92:12

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

92:13

Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.

92:14

They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing;

92:15

To shew that the LORD [is] upright: [he is] my rock, and [there is] no unrighteousness in him.

93:1

The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, [wherewith] he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.

93:2

Thy throne [is] established of old: thou [art] from everlasting.

93:3

The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves.

93:4

The LORD on high [is] mightier than the noise of many waters, [yea, than] the mighty waves of the sea.

93:5

Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.

94:1

O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.

94:2

Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.

94:3

LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?

94:4

[How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?

94:5

They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage.

94:6

They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.

94:7

Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard [it].

94:8

Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, when will ye be wise?

94:9

He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?

94:10

He that chastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall not he know]?

94:11

The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.

94:12

Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;

94:13

That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.

94:14

For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

94:15

But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.

94:16

Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?

94:17

Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.

94:18

When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.

94:19

In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.

94:20

Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?

94:21

They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.

94:22

But the LORD is my defence; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge.

94:23

And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; [yea], the LORD our God shall cut them off.

95:1

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

95:2

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills [is] his also.

95:5

The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry [land].

95:6

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

95:7

For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

95:8

Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as [in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:

95:9

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

95:10

Forty years long was I grieved with [this] generation, and said, It [is] a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

95:11

Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

96:1

O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

96:2

Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

96:3

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

96:4

For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above all gods.

96:5

For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

96:6

Honour and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary.

96:7

Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

96:8

Give unto the LORD the glory [due unto] his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

96:9

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

96:10

Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

96:11

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

96:12

Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

96:13

Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

97:1

The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad [thereof].

97:2

Clouds and darkness [are] round about him: righteousness and judgment [are] the habitation of his throne.

97:3

A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about.

97:4

His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

97:5

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

97:6

The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory.

97:7

Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all [ye] gods.

97:8

Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD.

97:9

For thou, LORD, [art] high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

97:10

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.

98:2

The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

98:3

He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

98:9

Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

99:6

Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.

99:7

He spake unto them in the cloudy pillar: they kept his testimonies, and the ordinance [that] he gave them.

99:8

Thou answeredst them, O LORD our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

99:9

Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the LORD our God [is] holy.

101:3

I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; [it] shall not cleave to me.

101:4

A froward heart shall depart from me: I will not know a wicked [person].

101:5

Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

101:6

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me.

101:7

He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight.

101:8

I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD.

102:1

A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. Hear my prayer, O LORD, and let my cry come unto thee.

102:2

Hide not thy face from me in the day [when] I am in trouble; incline thine ear unto me: in the day [when] I call answer me speedily.

102:3

For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as an hearth.

102:4

My heart is smitten, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread.

102:5

By reason of the voice of my groaning my bones cleave to my skin.

102:6

I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.

102:7

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

102:8

Mine enemies reproach me all the day; [and] they that are mad against me are sworn against me.

102:9

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

102:10

Because of thine indignation and thy wrath: for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.

102:11

My days [are] like a shadow that declineth; and I am withered like grass.

102:12

But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations.

102:13

Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come.

102:14

For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof.

102:15

So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

102:16

When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

102:17

He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.

102:18

This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.

102:19

For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;

102:20

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

102:21

To declare the name of the LORD in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem;

102:22

When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.

102:23

He weakened my strength in the way; he shortened my days.

102:24

I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days: thy years [are] throughout all generations.

102:25

Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens [are] the work of thy hands.

102:26

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed:

102:27

But thou [art] the same, and thy years shall have no end.

102:28

The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall be established before thee.

103:1

[A Psalm] of David. Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, [bless] his holy name.

103:2

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

103:3

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

103:4

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

103:5

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good [things; so that] thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

103:6

The LORD executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

103:7

He made known his ways unto Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.

103:8

The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

103:9

He will not always chide: neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

103:10

He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

103:11

For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

103:12

As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

103:13

Like as a father pitieth [his] children, [so] the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

103:14

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we [are] dust.

103:15

[As for] man, his days [are] as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

103:16

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

103:17

But the mercy of the LORD [is] from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;

103:18

To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

103:19

The LORD hath prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.

103:20

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.

103:21

Bless ye the LORD, all [ye] his hosts; [ye] ministers of his, that do his pleasure.

103:22

Bless the LORD, all his works in all places of his dominion: bless the LORD, O my soul.

104:1

Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

104:2

Who coverest [thyself] with light as [with] a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

104:3

Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

104:4

Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

104:5

[Who] laid the foundations of the earth, [that] it should not be removed for ever.

104:6

Thou coveredst it with the deep as [with] a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

104:7

At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

104:8

They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

104:9

Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

104:10

He sendeth the springs into the valleys, [which] run among the hills.

104:11

They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

104:12

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, [which] sing among the branches.

104:13

He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

104:14

He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

104:15

And wine [that] maketh glad the heart of man, [and] oil to make [his] face to shine, and bread [which] strengtheneth man's heart.

104:16

The trees of the LORD are full [of sap]; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

104:17

Where the birds make their nests: [as for] the stork, the fir trees [are] her house.

104:18

The high hills [are] a refuge for the wild goats; [and] the rocks for the conies.

104:19

He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

104:20

Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep [forth].

104:21

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

104:22

The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

104:23

Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

104:24

O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

104:25

[So is] this great and wide sea, wherein [are] things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

104:26

There go the ships: [there is] that leviathan, [whom] thou hast made to play therein.

104:27

These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give [them] their meat in due season.

104:28

[That] thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

104:29

Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

104:30

Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

104:31

The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.

104:32

He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

104:33

I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

104:34

My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

104:35

Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

105:1

O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

105:2

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

105:3

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

105:4

Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

105:5

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

105:6

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

105:7

He [is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the earth.

105:8

He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word [which] he commanded to a thousand generations.

105:9

Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

105:10

And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] to Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:

105:11

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

105:12

When they were [but] a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.

105:13

When they went from one nation to another, from [one] kingdom to another people;

105:14

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

105:15

[Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

105:16

Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

105:17

He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:

105:18

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

105:19

Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

105:20

The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

105:21

He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

105:22

To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

105:23

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

105:24

And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

105:25

He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

105:26

He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.

105:27

They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

105:28

He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

105:29

He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

105:30

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

105:31

He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their coasts.

105:32

He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land.

105:33

He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

105:34

He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

105:35

And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

105:36

He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

105:37

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.

105:38

Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

105:39

He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

105:40

[The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

105:41

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.

105:42

For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant.

105:43

And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness:

105:44

And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

105:45

That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

106:1

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

106:2

Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can shew forth all his praise?

106:3

Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.

106:4

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

106:5

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.

106:6

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

106:7

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.

106:8

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

106:9

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

106:10

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

106:11

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

106:12

Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

106:13

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

106:14

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

106:15

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

106:16

They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the saint of the LORD.

106:17

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

106:18

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

106:19

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

106:20

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

106:21

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

106:22

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible things by the Red sea.

106:23

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].

106:24

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

106:25

But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

106:26

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

106:27

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

106:28

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

106:29

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

106:30

Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and [so] the plague was stayed.

106:31

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

106:32

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

106:33

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

106:34

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

106:35

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

106:36

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

106:37

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

106:38

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.

106:39

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

106:40

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

106:41

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

106:42

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

106:43

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

106:44

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

106:45

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

106:46

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

106:47

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.

106:48

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