Psalms 106

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

Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!

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

Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?

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

Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise righteousness at all times!

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

Remember me, O LORD! with the favor promised to thy people; O visit me with thy 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.

That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy people, That I may glory with thine inheritance!

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

We have sinned with our fathers; We have committed iniquity; 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 did not regard thy wonders; They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; But rebelled at the sea, the Red sea.

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

Yet he saved them for his own name's sake. That he might make his mighty power to be known.

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

He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up, And he led them through the deep as through a desert.

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

He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

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

The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.

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

Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.

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

But they soon forgot his deeds, And waited not for his counsel.

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

They gave way to appetite in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert;

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

And he gave them their request, But sent upon them leanness.

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

They also envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

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

Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram,

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

And a fire was kindled in their company; The flames burned up the wicked.

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

They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image;

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

They changed their God of glory Into the image of a grass-eating ox.

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

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

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

Such wonders in the land of Ham. Such terrible things at the Red sea.

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].

Then he said that he would destroy them; Had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, that he might not destroy them.

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

They also despised the pleasant land, And believed not his word;

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

But murmured in their tents, And would not hearken to the voice of the LORD.

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

Then he lifted up his hand against them, And swore that he would make them fall in the wilderness;

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

That he would overthrow their descendants among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

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

They also gave themselves to the worship of Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to lifeless idols.

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

Thus they provoked his anger by their practices, And a plague broke in upon them.

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

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

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

And this was counted to him for righteousness, To all generations for ever.

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

They provoked him also at the waters of Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.

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

For they provoked his spirit, So that he spake inconsiderately with his lips.

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

They did not destroy the nations, As Jehovah had commanded them.

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

They mingled themselves with the peoples, And learned their practices.

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

They even worshipped their idols, Which became to them a snare.

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

Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to 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 shed innocent blood, The blood of their own sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

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

Thus they defiled themselves with their works, And played the harlot with their practices.

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

Then burned the anger of the LORD against his people, So that he abhorred his own inheritance.

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

And he gave them into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them ruled over them.

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

Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down 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.

Many times did he deliver them; But they provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.

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

Yet, when he heard their cries, He had regard to their affliction;

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

He remembered his covenant with them, And repented according to the greatness of his mercy,

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

And caused them to find pity Among all that carried them captive.

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 Jehovah, our God! and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks to thy holy name, And glory in thy praise!

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

[Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise ye Jehovah!]
