• Ps 106:7-9 : 7 Our ancestors in Egypt did not consider Your miracles; they did not remember the abundance of Your lovingkindness but rebelled at the sea, the Red Sea. 8 Yet He saved them for His name’s sake, to make His mighty power known. 9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a wilderness. 10 He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 11 The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived. 12 Then they believed His words; they sang His praise. 13 But they quickly forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel. 14 In the wilderness, they craved intensely and tested God in the wasteland. 15 So He gave them what they asked for but sent leanness into their souls. 16 They envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD. 17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the company of Abiram. 18 Fire blazed among their company; flames consumed the wicked. 19 They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped a cast image. 20 They exchanged their glory for the image of an ox that eats grass. 21 They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt, 22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds at the Red Sea. 23 So He said He would destroy them had not Moses, His chosen one, stood in the breach before Him to turn His wrath away from destroying them. 24 But they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise. 25 They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD. 26 Therefore, He raised His hand against them to make them fall in the wilderness, 27 to make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. 28 They joined themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods. 29 They provoked the LORD to anger by their deeds, and a plague broke out among them. 30 Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stopped. 31 It was credited to him as righteousness for all generations to come. 32 By the waters of Meribah, they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them; 33 for they rebelled against His Spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips. 34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them, 35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their ways. 36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. 37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. 38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. 39 They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds. 40 Therefore, the LORD's anger burned against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance. 41 He handed them over to the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them. 42 Their enemies oppressed them and subdued them under their power. 43 Many times He delivered them, but they were rebellious in their plans and sank into their iniquity. 44 Yet He saw their distress when He heard their cry. 45 He remembered His covenant with them and relented according to the abundance of His lovingkindness. 46 He caused them to be treated with compassion by all who held them captive. 47 Save us, LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, so that we may give thanks to Your holy name and glory in Your praise. 48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, 'Amen!' Praise the LORD!
