Psalm 106:1-6, 19-23

¹   Praise the Lord!
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever.
²   Who can utter the mighty doings of the Lord,
or declare all his praise?
³   Happy are those who observe justice,
who do righteousness at all times.

⁴   Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people;
help me when you deliver them;
⁵   that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
that I may glory in your heritage.

⁶   Both we and our ancestors have sinned;
we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly.

¹⁹  They made a calf at Horeb
and worshiped a cast image.
²⁰  They exchanged the glory of God
for the image of an ox that eats grass.
²¹  They forgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
²²  wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
²³  Therefore he said he would destroy them —
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
