106:023 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them. 106:024 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn't believe his word, 106:025 but murmured in their tents, and didn't listen to Yahweh's voice. 106:026 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness, 106:027 that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands. 106:028 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 106:029 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them. 106:030 Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped. 106:031 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come. 106:032 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes; 106:033 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips. 106:034 They didn't destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them, 106:035 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works. 106:036 They served their idols, which became a snare to them. 106:037 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons. 106:038 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood. 106:039 Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds. 106:040 Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance. 106:041 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them. 106:042 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand. 106:043 Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity. 106:044 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry. 106:045 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses. 106:046 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive. 106:047 Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise! 106:048 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, "Amen." Praise Yah! 107:001 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. 107:002 Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary, 107:003 And gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
