Psalm 106
1Hallelujah!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, *
for his mercy endures for ever.

2Who can declare the mighty acts of the LORD *
or show forth all his praise?

3Happy are those who act with justice *
and always do what is right!

4Remember me, O LORD, with the favor you have
for your people, *
and visit me with your saving help;

5That I may see the prosperity of your elect
and be glad with the gladness of your people, *
that I may glory with your inheritance.

6We have sinned as our forebears did; *
we have done wrong and dealt wickedly.

7In Egypt they did not consider your marvelous works,
nor remember the abundance of your love; *
they defied the Most High at the Red Sea.

8But he saved them for his Name’s sake, *
to make his power known.

9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, *
and he led them through the deep as through a desert.

10He saved them from the hand of those who hated them *
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11The waters covered their oppressors; *
not one of them was left.

12Then they believed his words *
and sang him songs of praise.

13But they soon forgot his deeds *
and did not wait for his counsel.

14A craving seized them in the wilderness, *
and they put God to the test in the desert.

15He gave them what they asked, *
but sent leanness into their soul.

16They envied Moses in the camp, *
and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

17The earth opened and swallowed Dathan *
and covered the company of Abiram.

18Fire blazed up against their company, *
and flames devoured the wicked.

A Collect for Fridays
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.
