Psalms 106

1 Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

Hallelujah. Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for to eternity endureth his kindness.

2 Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise?

Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can publish all his praise?

3 Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.

Happy are those that observe justice, that execute righteousness at all times.

4 Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,

Remember me, O Lord, when thou favorest thy people: oh 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 look on the happiness of thy elect, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glorify myself with thy inheritance.

6 We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

We have sinned together 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 did not reflect on thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy kindnesses; but rebelled 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 the sake of his name, to make known his might.

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; and 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 adversaries: not one of them was left.

12 Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.

Then believed they in his words, they sang his praise.

13 Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.

Speedily they forgot his works, they waited not for his counsel;

14 They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

And they felt a lustful longing 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 what they had asked; but sent dryness into their soul.

16 In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

Moreover they envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered over 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 burnt up the wicked.

19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped a molten image.

They made a calf in Horeb, and bowed themselves down to a molten image.

20 They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.

And they exchanged their glory for the similitude of an ox that eateth herbs.

21 They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,

They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,

22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.

Wonders in the land of Ham, 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.

He therefore spoke of destroying them: had not Moses his elect stood in the breach before him, to turn away his fury, that he might not destroy.

24 They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.

And they despised the pleasant land, they believed not in his word;

25 They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.

But they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.

26 So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,

He therefore lifted up his hand against them, to cause them to fall in the wilderness;

27 to disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.

And to let their seed fall 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.

And they joined themselves unto Ba'al-pe'or, 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.

And they provoked him to anger with their deeds: and there broke in among them the plague.

30 But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.

Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and the plague was stayed.

31 It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.

And it was accounted 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 Meribah, and evil happened to Moses for their sake;

33 For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.

Because they had embittered his spirit, and so he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips.

34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,

They did not exterminate the nations, that the Lord had indicated to them;

35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.

But they mingled themselves among the nations, and learned their doings.

36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.

And they served their idols, and these became unto them a snare.

37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto the evil spirits;

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 they shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood-guiltiness.

39 They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.

Thus were they made unclean through their own doings, and went astray with their own deeds.

40 So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.

therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and be felt disgust for 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 up into the hand of the nations: and there ruled over them those that hated them.

42 Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.

And their enemies also oppressed them: and they were subdued 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 rebelled with their counsel, and they were brought low through their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.

Nevertheless he looked on when they were in distress, when he heard their entreaty.

45 And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.

And he remembered unto them his covenant, and he bethought himself according to the abundance of his kindnesses;

46 He made them objects of compassion to all who held them captive.

And be caused them to find mercy before all those that had carried them away captive.

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 Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, 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 the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting even to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen, Hallelujah.
