Psalms 106:7-21
Psalms 106:7-21 AMP
Our fathers in Egypt did not understand nor appreciate Your miracles; They did not remember the abundance of Your mercies nor imprint Your lovingkindnesses on their hearts, But they were rebellious at the sea, at the Red Sea. [Ex 14:21] Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, That He might make His [supreme] power known. He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; And He led them through the depths as through a pasture. [Ex 14:21] So He saved them from the hand of the one that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the [Egyptian] enemy. [Ex 14:30] And the waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left. [Ex 14:27, 28; 15:5] Then Israel believed in [the validity of] His words; They sang His praise. ¶But they quickly forgot His works; They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them], But lusted intensely in the wilderness And tempted God [with their insistent desires] in the desert. [Num 11:4] So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them. [Ps 78:29-31] ¶They envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron [the high priest], the holy one of the LORD, [Num 16:1-32] Therefore the earth opened and swallowed Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram. [Num 16:31, 32] And a fire broke out in their company; The flame consumed the wicked. [Num 16:35, 46] ¶They made a calf in Horeb (Sinai) And worshiped a cast image. [Ex 32:4] Thus they exchanged [the true God who was] their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass. They forgot God their Savior, Who had done such great things in Egypt
