Psalms 106

1 Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

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

2 Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?

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

3 Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.

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

4 Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;

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

5 That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.

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.

6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.

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

7 Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

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.

8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.

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

9 And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through 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 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 adversaries; there was not one of them left.

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

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

Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

13 They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel;

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

14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried God in the desert.

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

15 And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

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

16 They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.

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

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

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

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

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

19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.

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

20 Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

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

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

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

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

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

23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.

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].

24 Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, they believed not His word;

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

25 And they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

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

26 Therefore He swore concerning them, that He would overthrow them in the wilderness;

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

27 And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

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

28 They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

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

29 Thus they provoked Him with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.

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

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, and so the plague was stayed.

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

31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for ever.

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

32 They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses because of them;

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

33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.

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

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

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

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

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

36 And they served their idols, which became a snare unto them;

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

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

And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

38 And shed innocent blood, even 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 sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.

39 Thus were they defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.

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

40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.

Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he abhorred his 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 that hated them ruled over them:

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

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

43 Many times did He deliver them; but they were rebellious in their counsel, and sank low through their iniquity.

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

44 Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, when He heard their cry;

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

45 And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.

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

46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captive.

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

47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.

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.

48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah.

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