Psalms 106
1 Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
Praise Yah. O give thanks unto Yhwh; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2 Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise?
Who can utter the mighty acts of Yhwh? who can shew forth all his praise?
3 Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,
Remember me, O Yhwh, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
5 that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.
That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7 Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
8 Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.
He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
10 He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.
And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12 Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.
Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
13 Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14 They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
15 So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16 In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of Yhwh.
17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked.
And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped a molten image.
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
20 They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.
Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21 They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
23 So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
24 They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
25 They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of Yhwh.
26 So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
27 to disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
28 They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.
They joined themselves also unto Baal–peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
30 But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
31 It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
32 At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.
They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.
Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom Yhwh commanded them:
35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
39 They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40 So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.
Therefore was the wrath of Yhwh kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.
Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
45 And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46 He made them objects of compassion to all who held them captive.
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.
Save us, O Yhwh our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!
Blessed be Yhwh God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Hallelu jah.
