Psalm 106:32-48 - Heartlight

³²At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD,

and trouble came to Moses because of them.

³³For they rebelled against His Spirit,

and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.

³⁴They did not destroy the peoples

as the LORD had commanded them,

³⁵but they mingled with the nations

and adopted their customs.

³⁶They worshiped their idols,

which became a snare to them.

³⁷They sacrificed their sons

and their daughters to demons.

³⁸They 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.

³⁹They defiled themselves by their actions

and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

⁴⁰So the anger of the LORD burned against His people,

and He abhorred His own inheritance.

⁴¹He delivered them into the hand of the nations,

and those who hated them ruled over them.

⁴²Their enemies oppressed them,

and subdued them under their hand.

⁴³Many times He rescued them,

but they were bent on rebellion

and sank down in their iniquity.

⁴⁴Nevertheless He heard their cry;

He took note of their distress.

⁴⁵And He remembered His covenant with them,

and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.

⁴⁶He made them objects of compassion

to all who held them captive.

⁴⁷Save us, O LORD our God,

and gather us from the nations,

that we may give thanks to Your holy name,

that we may glory in Your praise.

⁴⁸Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,

from everlasting to everlasting.

Let all the people say, “Amen!”

Hallelujah!
