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

Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?
WhatsApp
Copy
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
WhatsApp
Copy
Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
WhatsApp
Copy
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.
WhatsApp
Copy
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
WhatsApp
Copy
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.
WhatsApp
Copy
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
WhatsApp
Copy
He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
WhatsApp
Copy
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
WhatsApp
Copy
And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
WhatsApp
Copy
Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
WhatsApp
Copy
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
WhatsApp
Copy
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
WhatsApp
Copy
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
WhatsApp
Copy
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
WhatsApp
Copy
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
WhatsApp
Copy
And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
WhatsApp
Copy
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
WhatsApp
Copy
Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
WhatsApp
Copy
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
WhatsApp
Copy
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
WhatsApp
Copy
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.
WhatsApp
Copy
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
WhatsApp
Copy
But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
WhatsApp
Copy
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
WhatsApp
Copy
To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
WhatsApp
Copy
They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
WhatsApp
Copy
Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
WhatsApp
Copy
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
WhatsApp
Copy
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
WhatsApp
Copy
They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
WhatsApp
Copy
Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
WhatsApp
Copy
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
WhatsApp
Copy
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
WhatsApp
Copy
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
WhatsApp
Copy
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
WhatsApp
Copy
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.
WhatsApp
Copy
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
WhatsApp
Copy
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
WhatsApp
Copy
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
WhatsApp
Copy
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
WhatsApp
Copy
Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
WhatsApp
Copy
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
WhatsApp
Copy
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
WhatsApp
Copy
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
WhatsApp
Copy
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.
WhatsApp
Copy
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalms 106 Study & Commentary
Psalm 106 contrasts God’s mercies with Israel’s repeated rebellions. It is a confession of national sin and a plea for God to gather and save His people.
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. The Danger of Forgetfulness: Israel "soon forgat his works" (v. 13). Forgetfulness is often the first step toward rebellion.2. Leaness in the Soul: God gave them their request but "sent leanness into their soul" (v. 15). Be careful what you insist on apart from God’s will.
