Psalm 106

Ottawa

1 Praise the LORD! Extol his goodness!

for his love endures always.

2 Who can tell his mighty actions,

or in full declare his praise?

3 Blessed are those whose way is right,

acting justly in his sight.

4 When you show your people favour,

then, O LORD, remember me.

Help me when you come to save them;

5 Let me know prosperity -

joyful with your chosen race,

joining them in giving praise.

6 We have sinned just like our fathers;

we have done what was not right.

7 When our fathers were in Egypt

they despised your deeds of might.

All your mercies they ignored -

at the Red Sea spurned the LORD.

8 Yet for his name's sake he saved them

and revealed his mighty hand.

9 By his word the Sea he parted,

led them through as on dry land -

10 From the hand of foes set free,

rescued from the enemy.

11 Then their adversaries foundered;

not a single one survived.

12 So the people sang his praises,

and his promises believed;

13 But his works they soon forgot,

and his counsel set at nought.
