Psalms 106

1 Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.

Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!

2 Who shall tell the mighty acts of the Lord? [who] shall cause all his praises to be heard?

Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?

3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do righteousness at all times.

Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise righteousness at all times!

4 Remember us, O Lord, with the favor [you have] to your people: visit us with your salvation;

Remember me, O LORD! with the favor promised to thy people; O visit me with thy salvation!

5 that we may behold the good of your elect, that we may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that we may glory with your inheritance.

That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy people, That I may glory with thine inheritance!

6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done unrighteously.

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

7 Our fathers in Egypt understood not your wonders, and remembered not the multitude of your mercy; but provoked [him] as they went up by the Red Sea.

Our fathers in Egypt did not regard thy wonders; They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; But rebelled at the sea, the Red sea.

8 Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might cause his mighty power to be known.

Yet he saved them for his own name's sake. That he might make his mighty power to be known.

9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: so he led them through the deep as through the wilderness.

He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up, And he led them through the deep as through a desert.

10 And he saved them out of the hand of them that hated [them], and redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy.

He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 The water covered those that oppressed them: there was not one of them left.

The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.

12 Then they believed his words, and celebrated his praise.

Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.

13 They made haste, they forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel.

But they soon forgot his deeds, And waited not for his counsel.

14 And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the dry [land].

They gave way to appetite in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert;

15 And he gave them their request, and sent fullness into their souls.

And he gave them their request, But sent upon them leanness.

16 They provoked Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

They also envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and closed upon the congregation of Abiron.

Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram,

18 And a fire was kindled in their congregation, and a flame burnt up the sinners.

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

19 And they made a calf in Choreb, and worshipped the graven image,

They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image;

20 and they changed their glory into the similitude of a calf that feeds on grass.

They changed their God of glory Into the image of a grass-eating ox.

21 They forgot God that saved them, who had wrought great deeds in Egypt;

They forgot God, their saviour, Who had done such great things in Egypt,

22 wondrous [works] in the land of Cham, and terrible things at the Red Sea.

Such wonders in the land of Ham. Such terrible things at the Red sea.

23 So he said that he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn [him] away from the fierceness of his anger, so that he should not destroy them.

Then he said that he would destroy them; Had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, that he might not destroy them.

24 Moreover they set at nothing the desirable land, and believed not his word.

They also despised the pleasant land, And believed not his word;

25 And they murmured in their tents: they listened not to the voice of the Lord.

But murmured in their tents, And would not hearken to the voice of the LORD.

26 So he lifted up his hand against them, to cast them down in the wilderness;

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

27 and to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.

That he would overthrow their descendants among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

28 They were joined also to Beelphegor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. And they provoked him with their devices;

They also gave themselves to the worship of Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to lifeless idols.

29 and destruction, was multiplied among them.

Thus they provoked his anger by their practices, And a plague broke in upon them.

30 Then Phinees stood up, and made atonement: and the plague ceased.

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

31 And it was counted to him for righteousness, to all generations for ever.

And this was counted to him for righteousness, To all generations for ever.

32 They provoked him also at the water of Strife, and Moses was hurt for their sakes;

They provoked him also at the waters of Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.

33 for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke [unadvisedly] with his lips.

For they provoked his spirit, So that he spake inconsiderately with his lips.

34 They destroyed not the nations which the Lord told them [to destroy];

They did not destroy the nations, As Jehovah had commanded them.

35 but were mingled with the heathen, and learned their works.

They mingled themselves with the peoples, And learned their practices.

36 And they served their graven images; and it became an offense to them.

They even worshipped their idols, Which became to them a snare.

37 And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils,

Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to demons,

38 and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan; and the land was defiled with blood.

And shed innocent blood, The blood of their own sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

39 and was polluted with their works; and they went a whoring with their own devices.

Thus they defiled themselves with their works, And played the harlot with their practices.

40 So the Lord was very angry with his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.

Then burned the anger of the LORD against his people, So that he abhorred his own inheritance.

41 And he delivered them into the hands of [their] enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them.

And he gave them into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them ruled over them.

42 Ands their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under their hands.

Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.

43 Many a time he delivered them; but they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.

Many times did he deliver them; But they provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.

44 You the Lord looked upon their affliction, when he heard their petition.

Yet, when he heard their cries, He had regard to their affliction;

45 And he remembered his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercy.

He remembered his covenant with them, And repented according to the greatness of his mercy,

46 And he caused them to be pitied in the sight of all who carried them captive.

And caused them to find pity Among all that carried them captive.

47 Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, that we may give thanks to your holy name, that we may glory in your praise.

Save us, O Jehovah, our God! and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks to thy holy name, And glory in thy praise!

48 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and to everlasting; and all the people shall say, Amen, Amen.

[Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise ye Jehovah!]
