106:6 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.
106:7 Nuestros padres en Egipto no entendieron tus maravillas; no se acordaron de la muchedumbre de tus misericordias; sino que se rebelaron junto á la mar, en el mar Bermejo.
106:7 Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

14 And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.

106:14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.

106:25 Antes murmuraron en sus tiendas, y no oyeron la voz de Jehová.
106:25 but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.
26 And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;
106:26 Por lo que alzó su mano á ellos, en orden á postrarlos en el desierto,
106:26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.

106:32 También le irritaron en las aguas de Meriba: é hizo mal á Moisés por causa de ellos;
106:32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations). Verse numbers below follow the Hebrew/English numbering: 106.

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
