Psalms 106

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

Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.

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

Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?

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

O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.

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

Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in 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.

To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself 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 done perversely, 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 in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.

8 Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.

And He saveth them for His name's sake, 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.

And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

10 He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.

11 The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.

And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.

12 Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.

And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,

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

They have hasted — forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.

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

And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.

15 So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.

And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.

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

And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.

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

Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.

18 Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked.

And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.

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

They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,

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

And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.

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

They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,

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

Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.

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.

And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.

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

And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.

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

And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.

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

And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,

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

And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.

28 They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.

And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat 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 provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,

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

And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,

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

And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations — unto the age.

32 At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.

And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,

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

For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.

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

They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,

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

And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,

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

And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.

37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,

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 — Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.

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

And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.

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

And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.

41 He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.

And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,

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

And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.

43 Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.

Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.

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

And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,

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

And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.

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

And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.

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 Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.

48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!

Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, 'Amen, praise Jah!'
