Psalm 106 - Metrical

Verse 1

God of eternal love, How fickle are our ways! And yet how oft did Israel prove Thy constancy and grace!

Verse 2

They saw thy wonders wrought, And then thy praise they sung; But soon thy works of power forgot, And murmured with their tongue.

Verse 3

Now they believe his word, While rocks with rivers flow; Now with their lusts provoke the Lord, And he reduced them low.

Verse 4

Yet, when they mourned their faults, He hearkened to their groans, Brought his own covenant to his thoughts, And called them still his sons.

Verse 5

Their names were in his book; He saved them from their foes; Oft he chastised, but ne’er forsook The people that he chose.

Verse 6

Let Israel bless the Lord, Who loved their ancient race; And Christians join the solemn word, Amen, to all the praise.
