Psalms 106
1 Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
| הללו-יה הודו ליהוה כי-טוב-- כי לעולם חסדו |
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? [who] can shew forth all his praise?
| מי--ימלל גבורות יהוה ישמיע כל-תהלתו |
3 Blessed are they that keep justice, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.
| אשרי שמרי משפט עשה צדקה בכל-עת |
4 Remember me, O Jehovah, with [thy] favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation:
| זכרני יהוה ברצון עמך פקדני בישועתך |
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.
| לראות בטובת בחיריך-- לשמח בשמחת גויך להתהלל עם-נחלתך |
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
| חטאנו עם-אבותינו העוינו הרשענו |
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.
| אבותינו במצרים לא-השכילו נפלאותיך-- לא זכרו את-רב חסדיך וימרו על-ים בים-סוף |
8 Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.
| ויושיעם למען שמו-- להודיע את-גבורתו |
9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.
| ויגער בים-סוף ויחרב ויוליכם בתהמות כמדבר |
10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
| ויושיעם מיד שונא ויגאלם מיד אויב |
11 And the waters covered their oppressors: there was not one of them left.
| ויכסו-מים צריהם אחד מהם לא נותר |
12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
| ויאמינו בדבריו ישירו תהלתו |
13 They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:
| מהרו שכחו מעשיו לא-חכו לעצתו |
14 And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
| ויתאוו תאוה במדבר וינסו-אל בישימון |
15 Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
| ויתן להם שאלתם וישלח רזון בנפשם |
16 And they envied Moses in the camp, [and] Aaron, the saint of Jehovah.
| ויקנאו למשה במחנה לאהרן קדוש יהוה |
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram;
| תפתח-ארץ ותבלע דתן ותכס על-עדת אבירם |
18 And fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked.
| ותבער-אש בעדתם להבה תלהט רשעים |
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;
| יעשו-עגל בחרב וישתחוו למסכה |
20 And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
| וימירו את-כבודם בתבנית שור אכל עשב |
21 They forgot God their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,
| שכחו אל מושיעם-- עשה גדלות במצרים |
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.
| נפלאות בארץ חם נוראות על-ים-סוף |
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].
| ויאמר להשמידם לולי משה בחירו-- עמד בפרץ לפניו להשיב חמתו מהשחית |
24 And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word,
| וימאסו בארץ חמדה לא-האמינו לדברו |
25 But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.
| וירגנו באהליהם לא שמעו בקול יהוה |
26 And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness;
| וישא ידו להם-- להפיל אותם במדבר |
27 And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.
| ולהפיל זרעם בגוים ולזרותם בארצות |
28 And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;
| ויצמדו לבעל פעור ויאכלו זבחי מתים |
29 And they provoked [him] to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.
| ויכעיסו במעלליהם ותפרץ-בם מגפה |
30 Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed;
| ויעמד פינחס ויפלל ותעצר המגפה |
31 And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.
| ותחשב לו לצדקה לדר ודר עד-עולם |
32 And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;
| ויקציפו על-מי מריבה וירע למשה בעבורם |
33 For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
| כי-המרו את-רוחו ויבטא בשפתיו |
34 They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them;
| לא-השמידו את-העמים-- אשר אמר יהוה להם |
35 But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works;
| ויתערבו בגוים וילמדו מעשיהם |
36 And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them:
| ויעבדו את-עצביהם ויהיו להם למוקש |
37 And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
| ויזבחו את-בניהם ואת-בנותיהם-- לשדים |
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.
| וישפכו דם נקי דם-בניהם ובנותיהם-- אשר זבחו לעצבי כנען ותחנף הארץ בדמים |
39 And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings.
| ויטמאו במעשיהם ויזנו במעלליהם |
40 Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance;
| ויחר-אף יהוה בעמו ויתעב את-נחלתו |
41 And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them:
| ויתנם ביד-גוים וימשלו בהם שנאיהם |
42 And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
| וילחצום אויביהם ויכנעו תחת ידם |
43 Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked [him] by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.
| פעמים רבות יצילם והמה ימרו בעצתם וימכו בעונם |
44 But he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry;
| וירא בצר להם-- בשמעו את-רנתם |
45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses;
| ויזכר להם בריתו וינחם כרב חסדו |
46 And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives.
| ויתן אותם לרחמים-- לפני כל-שוביהם |
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.
| הושיענו יהוה אלהינו וקבצנו מן-הגוים להדות לשם קדשך להשתבח בתהלתך |
48 Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!
| ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מן-העולם ועד העולם-- ואמר כל-העם אמן הללו-יה |
