Psalms 106

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

Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.

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

Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?

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

O the happiness 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 Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in 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.

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 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 Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy 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 saveth them for His name's sake, To 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 rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth 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 saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth 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 hath 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 hasted — 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 giveth to them their request, And sendeth 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, Jehovah's holy one.

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

Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.

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

And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.

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 Honour 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 saviour, 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 saith 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 hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.

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

And He lifteth 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 Baal-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 breaketh forth upon them,

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

And Phinehas standeth, and executeth 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 to righteousness, To all generations — unto the age.

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 speaketh wrongfully with his lips.

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

They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said 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 to them for a snare.

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

And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,

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 Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.

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

Many times He doth deliver them, 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 looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,

45 And He remembered for them His covenant, 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 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captive.

And He appointeth 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 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, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah.

Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, 'Amen, praise Jah!'
