PSALM 106. Confitemini Domino. GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for' he is gracious and his' mercy en'dureth for ever.

2. Who can express the noble' acts of the Lord or shew forth' all his praise ?

3. Blessed are they that' alway keep judgement and" do righteousness.

4. Remember me, O Lord, according to the favour that thou bearest un'to thy people: O visit' me with' thy salvation;

5. That I may see the fe'licity of thy chosen and rejoice in the gladness of thy people, and give' thanks with' thine inheritance.

6. We have' sinned with our fathers: we have done a'miss, and' dealt wickedly.

7. Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, neither kept they thy great' goodness in remembrance :

23. So he said, he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him' in the gap to turn away his wrathful indignation,' lest he' should destroy them.

24. Yea, they thought scorn of that' pleasant land and gave no' credence un'to his word;

25. But murmured' in their tents: and hearkened not un'to the' voice of the Lord.

26. Then lift he up his' hand against them to over'throw them' in the wil

derness; 27. To cast out their seed a'mong the nations and to' scatter them' in the lands.

28. They joined themselves' unto Baal-peor and ate the' offerings of the dead.

29. Thus they provoked him to anger with their own inventions and the' plague was' great among them.

30. Then stood up' Phinees and prayed: and' so the' plague ceased.

31. And that was counted unto him for righteousness: among all pos'terities for evermore.

32. They angered him also at the' waters of strife: so that he punished' Moses' for their sakes;

33. Because they pro'voked his spirit so that he spake unad'visedly' with his lips.

34. Neither destroyed' they the heathen : as the' Lord commanded them; 35. But were mingled a'mong the heathen: and' learn'ed their works.

36. Insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay: yea, they offered their sons and their daughters' unto devils;

37. And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and' of their daughters whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan; and the' land was de'filed with blood.

38. Thus were they stained with their own works: and went a whoring with their own inventions.

39. Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled a'gainst his people : insomuch that he ab'horred his' own inheritance.

40. And he gave them over into the' hand of the heathen and they that' hated them were' lords over them.

PSALM 107. Confitemini Domino.

GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious and his' mercy en'dureth for ever.

2. Let them give thanks whom the' Lord hath redeemed and delivered from the' hand' of the enemy;

3. And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and' from the west from the north, and' from the south.

4. They went astray in the wilderness' out of the way and' found no city to dwell in ;

way that they might go to the city' where they dwelt.

8. O that men would therefore praise the' Lord for his goodness and declare the wonders that he' doeth for the' children of men!

9. For he satisfieth the' empty soul: and filleth the' hungry' soul with good

ness.

10. Such as sit in darkness, and in the' shadow of death: being fast' bound in' misery and iron;

11. Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord and lightly regarded the counsel of the' most

12. He also brought down their heart through heaviness they fell down, and there was' none to help them.

13. So when they cried unto the

23. They that go down to the sea in ships and occupy their business in' great waters;

24. These men see the works of the Lord and his' wonders' in the deep.

25. For at his word the stormy' wind ariseth which lifteth' up the' waves thereof.

26. They are carried up to the heaven, and down a'gain to the deep: their soul melteth a'way be'cause of the trouble.

27. They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man: and' are at their wit's end.

28. So when they cry unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivereth them' out of' their distress.

29. For he maketh the storm to cease so that the' waves there' of are still.
