Psalms 106

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.

We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, 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, 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 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.

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

9 And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, 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 adversaries; 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 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried God in the desert.

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

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

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 a fire was kindled in their company; the 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 worshipped a molten image.

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

20 Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness 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 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 commands to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,

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

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

37 Yea, 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, 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 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 defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.

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

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

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

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

44 Nevertheless He looked upon 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 mercies.

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

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

And He appoints them for mercies Before all their captors.

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, 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 the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, 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!”
