Psalm 106

106 Praise the Lord!
    Give thanks to the Lord because he is good,
    because his faithful love endures forever.
2 Who could possibly repeat all of the Lord’s mighty acts
    or publicly recount all his praise?

3 The people who uphold justice,
    who always do what is right, are truly happy!
4 Remember me, Lord, with the favor you show your people.
    Visit me with your saving help
        
        so I can rejoice in the joy of your nation,
        so I can praise along with your possession.

6 We have sinned—right along with our ancestors.
    We’ve done what is wrong.
    We’ve acted wickedly.

Psalm 106:19-23Common English Bible (CEB)

19 They made a calf at Horeb,
    bowing down to a metal idol.
20 They traded their glorious God[a]
    for an image of a bull that eats grass.
21 They forgot the God who saved them—
    the one who had done great things in Egypt,
22     wondrous works in the land of Ham,
    awesome deeds at the Reed Sea.
23 So God determined that he would destroy them—
    except for the fact that Moses, his chosen one,
    stood in the way, right in front of him,
    and turned God’s destructive anger away.
