Psalm 106:24-33
New International Version
Psalm 106:24-33
New International Version
24 Then they despised(A) the pleasant land;(B)
they did not believe(C) his promise.
25 They grumbled(D) in their tents
and did not obey the Lord.
26 So he swore(E) to them with uplifted hand
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,(F)
27 make their descendants fall among the nations
and scatter(G) them throughout the lands.
28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor(H)
and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
29 they aroused the Lord’s anger(I) by their wicked deeds,(J)
and a plague(K) broke out among them.
30 But Phinehas(L) stood up and intervened,
and the plague was checked.(M)
31 This was credited to him(N) as righteousness
for endless generations(O) to come.
32 By the waters of Meribah(P) they angered the Lord,
and trouble came to Moses because of them;
33 for they rebelled(Q) against the Spirit(R) of God,
and rash words came from Moses’ lips.[a](S)

King James Version
Psalm 106:24-33
King James Version
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

24 Then they despised (A)the pleasant land;
They (B)did not believe His word,
25 (C)But complained in their tents,
And did not heed the voice of the Lord.
26 (D)Therefore He raised His hand in an oath against them,
(E)To [a]overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 (F)To [b]overthrow their descendants among the [c]nations,
And to scatter them in the lands.
28 (G)They joined themselves also to Baal of Peor,
And ate sacrifices [d]made to the dead.
29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,
And the plague broke out among them.
30 (H)Then Phinehas stood up and intervened,
And the plague was stopped.
31 And that was accounted to him (I)for righteousness
To all generations forevermore.
32 (J)They angered Him also at the waters of [e]strife,
(K)So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;
33 (L)Because they rebelled against His Spirit,
So that he spoke rashly with his lips.
