< Psalms 106 >

1 Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord because he is good, for his mercie endureth for euer.
Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.
2 Who can expresse the noble actes of the Lord, or shewe forth all his prayse?
Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?
3 Blessed are they that keepe iudgement, and doe righteousnesse at all times.
O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O Lord, with the fauour of thy people: visite me with thy saluation,
Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.
5 That I may see the felicitie of thy chosen, and reioyce in the ioy of thy people, and glorie with thine 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 haue sinned with our fathers: we haue committed iniquitie, and done wickedly.
We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.
7 Our fathers vnderstoode not thy wonders in Egypt, neither remembred they the multitude of thy mercies, but rebelled at the Sea, euen 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 Neuerthelesse he saued them for his Names sake, that he might make his power to be knowen.
And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,
9 And he rebuked the red Sea, and it was dryed vp, and he led them in the deepe, as in the wildernesse.
And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.
10 And he saued them from ye aduersaries hand, and deliuered them from ye hand of the enemie.
And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.
11 And the waters couered their oppressours: not one of them was left.
And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.
12 Then beleeued they his wordes, and sang prayse vnto him.
And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
13 But incontinently they forgate his workes: they wayted not for his counsell,
They have hasted — forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
14 But lusted with concupiscence in the wildernes, and tempted God in the desert.
And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
15 Then he gaue them their desire: but he sent leannesse into their soule.
And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.
16 They enuied Moses also in the tentes, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.
17 Therefore the earth opened and swallowed vp Dathan, and couered the companie of Abiram.
Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.
18 And the fire was kindled in their assembly: the flame burnt vp the wicked.
And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.
19 They made a calfe in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
20 Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a bullocke, that eateth grasse.
And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
21 They forgate God their Sauiour, which had done great things in Egypt,
They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,
22 Wonderous woorkes in the lande of Ham, and fearefull things by the red Sea.
Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.
23 Therefore he minded to destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stand in the breach before him to turne away his wrath, least he shoulde destroy 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 Also they contemned that pleasant land, and beleeued not his worde,
And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
25 But murmured in their tentes, and hearkened not vnto the voice of the Lord.
And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.
26 Therefore hee lifted vp his hande against them, to destroy them in the wildernesse,
And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
27 And to destroy their seede among the nations, and to scatter them throughout the countries.
And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
28 They ioyned themselues also vnto Baalpeor, and did eate the offrings of the dead.
And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
29 Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their owne inuentions, and the plague brake in vpon them.
And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,
30 But Phinehas stoode vp, and executed iudgement, and the plague was staied.
And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,
31 And it was imputed vnto him for righteousnes from generation to generation for euer.
And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations — unto the age.
32 They angred him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was punished for their sakes,
And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
33 Because they vexed his spirite, so that hee spake vnaduisedly with his lippes.
For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.
34 Neither destroied they the people, as the Lord had commanded them,
They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,
35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their workes,
And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
36 And serued their idoles, which were their ruine.
And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.
37 Yea, they offered their sonnes, and their daughters vnto deuils,
And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,
38 And shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes, and of their daughters, whome they offred vnto the idoles of Canaan, and the lande was defiled 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 Thus were they steined with their owne woorkes, and went a whoring with their owne inuentions.
And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he abhorred his owne inheritance.
And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.
41 And hee gaue them into the hande of the heathen: and they that hated them, were lordes ouer them.
And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were humbled vnder their hand.
And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.
43 Many a time did hee deliuer them, but they prouoked him by their counsels: therefore they were brought downe by their iniquitie.
Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
44 Yet hee sawe when they were in affliction, and he heard their crie.
And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,
45 And he remembred his couenant towarde them and repented according to the multitude of his mercies,
And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
46 And gaue them fauour in the sight of all them that lead them captiues.
And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.
47 Saue vs, O Lord our God, and gather vs from among the heathen, that we may praise thine holy Name, and glorie in thy 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 God of Israel for euer and euer, and let all the people say, So be it. Praise yee the Lord.
Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, 'Amen, praise Jah!'
