Psalms 106

1 Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Praise YAH, give thanks to YHWH, for [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? [who] can shew forth all his praise?

Who utters the mighty acts of YHWH? Sounds all His praise?

3 Blessed are they that keep justice, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.

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

4 Remember me, O Jehovah, with [thy] favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation:

Remember me, O YHWH, With the favor of Your people, Look after me in Your salvation.

5 That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

To look on the good of Your chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Your nation, To boast myself with Your inheritance.

6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.

Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Your wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Your kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the Sea of Suph.

8 Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.

And He saves them for His Name’s sake, To make His might known,

9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.

And rebukes the Sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causes them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

And He saves them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeems them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And the waters covered their oppressors: there was not one of them left.

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

12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

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

13 They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:

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

14 And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

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

15 Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

And He gives to them their request, And sends leanness into their soul.

16 And they envied Moses in the camp, [and] Aaron, the saint of Jehovah.

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

17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram;

Earth opens, and swallows up Dathan, And covers over the company of Abiram.

18 And fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked.

And fire burns among their company, A flame sets the wicked on fire.

19 They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;

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

20 And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

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

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

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

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.

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

23 And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy [them].

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

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

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

25 But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

And they murmur in their tents, They have not listened to the voice of YHWH.

26 And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness;

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

27 And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

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

28 And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;

And they are coupled to Ba‘al-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

29 And they provoked [him] to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.

And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaks forth on them,

30 Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed;

And Phinehas stands, and executes judgment, And the plague is restrained,

31 And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.

And it is reckoned to him for righteousness, From generation to generation—for all time.

32 And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;

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

33 For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

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

34 They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them;

They have not destroyed the peoples, As YHWH had commanded to them,

35 But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works;

And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,

36 And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them:

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

37 And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

And they sacrifice their sons and their daughters to the demons,

38 And 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.

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 And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings.

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

40 Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance;

And the anger of YHWH Is kindled against His people, And He detests His inheritance.

41 And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them:

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

42 And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

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

43 Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked [him] by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.

He delivers them many times, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.

44 But he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry;

And He looks on their distress When He hears their cry,

45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses;

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

46 And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives.

And He appoints them for mercies Before all their captors.

47 Save us, Jehovah our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.

Save us, O our God YHWH, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Your Holy Name, To glory in Your praise.

48 Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!

Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age until age. And all the people said, “Amen, praise YAH!”
