God is SHE/God is THEY Psalms

Psalm 106

1. Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for She is good: for Her mercy endureth for ever.
2. Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can shew forth all Her praise?
3. Blessed are they that keep judgment, and she that doeth righteousness at all times.
4. Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
5. That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
6. We have sinned with our ancestors, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7. Our ancestors understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked Her at the sea, even at the Red sea.
8. Nevertheless She saved them for Her name's sake, that She might make Her mighty power to be known.
9. She rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so She led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
10. And She saved them from the hand of those that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11. And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12. Then believed they Her words; they sang Her praise.
13. They soon forgat Her works; they waited not for Her counsel:
14. But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
15. And She gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16. They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord.
17. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.
18. And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19. They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
20. Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21. They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
22. Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
23. Therefore She said that She would destroy them, had not Moses Her chosen stood before Her in the breach, to turn away Her wrath, lest She should destroy them.
24. Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not Her word:
25. But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26. Therefore She lifted up Her hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
27. To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
28. They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29. Thus they provoked Her to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
30. Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
31. And that was counted unto Her for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
32. They angered Her also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with the prophet for their sakes:
33. Because they provoked her spirit, so that she spake unadvisedly with her lips.
34. They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them:
35. But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
36. And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
37. Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38. And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40. Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against Her people, insomuch that She abhorred Her own inheritance.
41. And She gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42. Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43. Many times did She deliver them; but they provoked Her with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
44. Nevertheless She regarded their affliction, when She heard their cry:
45. And She remembered for them Her covenant, and repented according to the multitude of Her mercies.
46. She made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
47. Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
48. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.
