Psalm 106:37-48
New American Standard Bible
37 They even (A)sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the (B)demons,
38 And shed (C)innocent blood,
The blood of their (D)sons and their daughters
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was (E)defiled with the blood.
39 So they became (F)unclean in their [a]practices,
And [b](G)were unfaithful in their deeds.
40 Therefore the (H)anger of the Lord was kindled against His people,
And He (I)loathed His [c](J)inheritance.
41 So (K)He handed them over to the [d]nations,
And those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also (L)oppressed them,
And they were subdued under their [e]power.
43 Many times He would (M)rescue them;
They, however, were rebellious in their (N)plan,
And they (O)sank down into their guilt.
44 Nevertheless He looked at their distress
When He (P)heard their cry;
45 And He (Q)remembered His covenant for their sake,
And [f](R)relented (S)according to the greatness of His mercy.
46 He also made them (T)objects of compassion
In the presence of all their captors.
47 (U)Save us, Lord our God,
And (V)gather us from the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name
And (W)glory in Your praise.
48 (X)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.
And all the people shall say, “Amen.”
[g]Praise [h]the Lord!
