Psalms 106:39-40
Psalms 106:39-40 New King James Version (NKJV)
Thus they were defiled by their own works, And played the harlot by their own deeds. Therefore the wrath of the LORD was kindled against His people, So that He abhorred His own inheritance.
Psalms 106:34-43 The Message (MSG)
They didn’t wipe out those godless cultures as ordered by GOD; Instead they intermarried with the heathen, and in time became just like them. They worshiped their idols, were caught in the trap of idols. They sacrificed their sons and daughters at the altars of demon gods. They slit the throats of their babies, murdered their infant girls and boys. They offered their babies to Canaan’s gods; the blood of their babies stained the land. Their way of life reeked; they lived like prostitutes. And GOD was furious—a wildfire anger; he couldn’t stand even to look at his people. He turned them over to the heathen so that the people who hated them ruled them. Their enemies made life hard for them; they were tyrannized under that rule. Over and over God rescued them, but they never learned— until finally their sins destroyed them.
Psalms 106:39-40 King James Version (KJV)
Thus were they defiled with their own works, And went a whoring with their own inventions. Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, Insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
Psalms 106:39-40 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Thus they became unclean in their practices, And played the harlot in their deeds. Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against His people And He abhorred His inheritance.
Psalms 106:39-40 New Century Version (NCV)
The people became unholy by their sins; they were unfaithful to God in what they did. So the LORD became angry with his people and hated his own children.
Psalms 106:39-40 American Standard Version (ASV)
Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings. Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.
Psalms 106:39-40 New International Version (NIV)
They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves. Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance.
Psalms 106:39-40 Amplified Bible (AMP)
In this way they became unclean in their practices; They played the prostitute in their own deeds [by giving their worship, which belongs to God alone, to other “gods”]. ¶Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against His people And He detested His own inheritance. [Deut 32:17]
Psalms 106:39-40 New Living Translation (NLT)
They defiled themselves by their evil deeds, and their love of idols was adultery in the LORD’s sight. That is why the LORD’s anger burned against his people, and he abhorred his own special possession.
Psalms 106:38-40 The Passion Translation (TPT)
shedding the innocent blood of their sons and daughters. These dark practices greatly defiled the land and their own souls, through the murder and bloodshed of their own babies! Their sins made them spiritual adulterers before you. This is why you were furious. As your anger burned hot against them, you couldn’t even stand to look at your very own people any longer!
