- 3
- Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his [1] ; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
- 4
- Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name.

Psalm 106
- 1
- Psalm 106
- 1
- Praise the LORD. [1] Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
- 2
- Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise?
- 3
- Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right.
- 4
- Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them,
- 5
- that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.
- 6
- We have sinned, even as our fathers did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
- 7
- When our fathers were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea. [2]
- 8
- Yet he saved them for his name's sake, to make his mighty power known.
- 9
- He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.
- 10
- He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.
- 11
- The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
- 12
- Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.
- 13
- But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his counsel.
- 14
- In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wasteland they put God to the test.
- 15
- So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
- 16
- In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD.
- 17
- The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram.
- 18
- Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked.
- 19
- At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
- 20
- They exchanged their Glory for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
- 21
- They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,
- 22
- miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
- 23
- So he said he would destroy them-- had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them.
- 24
- Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.
- 25
- They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD.
- 26
- So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the desert,
- 27
- make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
- 28
- They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
- 29
- they provoked the LORD to anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
- 30
- But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked.
- 31
- This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
- 32
- By the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them;
- 33
- for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses' lips. [3]
- 34
- They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
- 35
- but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
- 36
- They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
- 37
- They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
- 38
- They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood.
- 39
- They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves.
- 40
- Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance.
- 41
- He handed them over to the nations, and their foes ruled over them.
- 42
- Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power.
- 43
- Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin.
- 44
- But he took note of their distress when he heard their cry;
- 45
- for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.
- 46
- He caused them to be pitied by all who held them captive.
- 47
- Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.
- 48
- Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD.

- 4
- The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens.
- 5
- Who is like the LORD our God, the One who sits enthroned on high,
- 6
- who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?
- 7
- He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap;
- 8
- he seats them with princes, with the princes of their people.
- 9
- He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the LORD.

Psalm 11
- 1
- Psalm 11 For the director of music. Of David.
- 1
- In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain.
- 2
- For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
- 3
- When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do [1] ?"
- 4
- The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them.
- 5
- The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked [2] and those who love violence his soul hates.
- 6
- On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot.
- 7
- For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face.

- 2
- Hear my cry for mercy as I call to you for help, as I lift up my hands toward your Most Holy Place.
- 3
- Do not drag me away with the wicked, with those who do evil, who speak cordially with their neighbors but harbor malice in their hearts.
- 4
- Repay them for their deeds and for their evil work; repay them for what their hands have done and bring back upon them what they deserve.
- 5
- Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD and what his hands have done, he will tear them down and never build them up again.
- 6
- Praise be to the LORD, for he has heard my cry for mercy.
- 7
- The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.
