Psalm 106

¹ Praise the LORD.^[a]
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
² Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD
or fully declare his praise?
³ Blessed are those who act justly,
who always do what is right.
⁴ Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people,
come to my aid when you save them,
⁵ that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,
that I may share in the joy of your nation
and join your inheritance in giving praise.
⁶ We have sinned, even as our ancestors did;
we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
¹⁹ At Horeb they made a calf
and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
²⁰ They exchanged their glorious God
for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
²¹ They forgot the God who saved them,
who had done great things in Egypt,
²² miracles in the land of Ham
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
²³ So he said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach before him
to keep his wrath from destroying them.
