Psalm 106

1 The people diſperſed vnder Antiochus do magnifie the goodnes of God among the iuſte and repentãt: 4 Deſiring to be broght againe into the land by Gods merciful viſitation 8 And after the manifold maruels of God wroght in their deliuerance for the of Egypt, and the great ingratitude of the people rehearſed, 47 Thei do pray & deſire to be gathered from amõg the heathẽ to the intent thei may praiſe the Name of the God of Iſraél
1.PRaiſe ye ye Lord becauſe he is good, for his mercie endureth for euer.
2.Who can expreſſe the noble actes of the Lord, or ſhewe forthe all his praiſe?
3.Bleſſed are they that kepe iudgement, and do righteouſnes at all times.
4.Remember me, ô Lord, with the fauour of thy people: viſit me with thy ſaluacion,
5.That I may ſe the felicitie of thy choſen, and reioyce in the ioye of thy people, and glorie with thine inheritance.
6.We haue ſinned with our fathers: we haue committed iniquitie, and done wic kedly.
7.Our fathers vnderſtode not thy wõders in Egypt, nether remembred they ye mul titude of thy mercies, but rebelled at the Sea, euen at the red Sea.
8.Neuertheles he ſaued them for his Na mes ſake, that he might make his power to be knowen.
9.And he rebuked the red Sea, and it was dryed vp, and he led them in the depe, as in the wildernes.
10.And he ſaued them frõ the aduerſaries hand, and deliuered them from the hand of the enemie.
11.And the waters couered their oppreſ ſers: not one of them was left.
12.Then beleued they his wordes, & ſang praiſe vnto him.
13.But incontinently they forgate his wor kes: they waited not for his counſel,
14.But luſted with concupiſcẽce in the wil deines, & tempted God in the deſert.
15.Then he gaue them their deſire: but he ſent leannes into their ſoule.
16.They enuied Moſés alſo in the tentes, & Aarón the holie one of the Lord.
17.Therefore the earth opened and ſwalow ed vp Dathán, and couered the companie of Abirám.
18.And the fyre was kindled in their aſſem blie: the flame burnt vp the wicked.
19.They made a calfe in Horéb, & worſhi ped the molten image.
20.Thus they turned their glorie into the ſimilitude of a bullocke, that eateth graſſe.
21.They forgate God their Sauiour, which had done great things in Egypt,
22.Wonderous workes in the land of Hám, and fearful things by the red Sea.
23.Therefore he minded to deſtroye them, had not Moſés his choſen ſtand in the breache before hi to turne away his wrath, leſt he ſhulde deſtroye them.
24.Alſo they contemned that pleaſant land, & beleued not is worde,
25.But murmured in their tentes, & hear kened not vnto the voyce of the Lord.
26.Therefore he lifted vp his hãd againſt them, to deſtroye them in the wildernes,
27.And to deſtroye their ſede among the nacions, and to ſcater them throughout the countreis.
28.They ioyned them ſelues alſo vnto Baal-peór, & did eat the offrings of the dead.
29.Thus they prouoked him vnto angre with their owne inuentions, and the pla gue brake in vpon them.
30.But Phinehás ſtode vp, and executed iudgement, and the plague was ſtaied.
31.And it was imputed vnto him for ri ghteouſnes from generacion to generació for euer.
32.They angred him alſo at the waters of Meribáh, ſo that Moſés was puniſhed for their ſakes,
33.Becauſe they vexed his ſpirit, ſo that he ſpake vnauiſedly with his lippes.
34.Nether deſtroyed they the people, as ye Lord had commanded them,
35.But were mingled among the heathen, & learned their workes,
36.And ſerued their idoles, which were their ruine.
37.Yea, they offred their ſonnes, and their daughters vnto diuels,
38.And ſhed innocent blood, euen the blood of their ſonnes, and of their daughters, whome they offred vnto the idols of Canáan, and the land was defiled with blood.
39.Thus were they ſteined with their owne workes, and went a whoring with their owne inuentions.
40.Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled againſt his people, & he abhorred his owne inheritance.
41.And he gaue them into the hand of the heathen: and they that hated them, were lords ouer them.
42.Their enemies alſo oppreſſed them, and they were humbled vnder their hand.
43.Manie a time did he deliuer them, but they prouoked him by their counſels: therefore they were broght downe by their iniquitie.
44.Yet he ſawe when they were in afflictiō, and he heard their crye.
45.And he remembred his couenāt toward them, and repēted according to the multitude of his mercies,
46.And gaue them fauour in the ſight of all them, that led them captiues.
47.Saue vs, ô Lord our God, and gather vs from among the heathen, that we maie praiſe thine holie Name, and glorie in thy praiſe.
48.Bleſſed be the Lord God of Iſraél for euer & euer, and let all the people ſay, So be it. Praiſe ye the Lord.
