Psalms 106

1 Hallelujah. Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for to eternity endureth his kindness.

Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can publish all his praise?

Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises?

3 Happy are those that observe justice, that execute righteousness at all times.

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

4 Remember me, O Lord, when thou favorest thy people: oh visit me with thy salvation;

Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation.

5 That I may look on the happiness of thy elect, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glorify myself with thy inheritance.

That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.

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

We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.

7 Our fathers did not reflect on thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy kindnesses; but rebelled at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.

8 Nevertheless he saved them for the sake of his name, to make known his might.

And he saved them for his own name’s sake: that he might make his power known.

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

And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in 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 them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And the waters covered their adversaries: not one of them was left.

And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left.

12 Then believed they in his words, they sang his praise.

And they believed his words: and they sang his praises.

13 Speedily they forgot his works, they waited not for his counsel;

They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsels.

14 And they felt a lustful longing in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.

15 And he gave them what they had asked; but sent dryness into their soul.

And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls.

16 Moreover they envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

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

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.

18 And a fire was kindled in their company: the flame burnt up the wicked.

And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.

19 They made a calf in Horeb, and bowed themselves down to a molten image.

They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.

20 And they exchanged their glory for the similitude of an ox that eateth herbs.

And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.

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

They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

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

Wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.

23 He therefore spoke of destroying them: had not Moses his elect stood in the breach before him, to turn away his fury, that he might not destroy.

And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

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

And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,

25 But they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.

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

26 He therefore lifted up his hand against them, to cause them to fall in the wilderness;

And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;

27 And to let their seed fall among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

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

28 And they joined themselves unto Ba'al-pe'or, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29 And they provoked him to anger with their deeds: and there broke in among them the plague.

And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them.

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

Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased.

31 And it was accounted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for evermore.

And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore.

32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, and evil happened to Moses for their sake;

They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes:

33 Because they had embittered his spirit, and so he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips.

Because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips.

34 They did not exterminate the nations, that the Lord had indicated to them;

They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.

35 But they mingled themselves among the nations, and learned their doings.

And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:

36 And they served their idols, and these became unto them a snare.

And served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.

37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto the evil spirits;

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

38 And they 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-guiltiness.

And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,

39 Thus were they made unclean through their own doings, and went astray with their own deeds.

And was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions.

40 therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and be felt disgust for his own inheritance.

And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.

41 And he gave them up into the hand of the nations: and there ruled over them those that hated them.

And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.

42 And their enemies also oppressed them: and they were subdued under their hand.

And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:

43 Many times did he deliver them; but they rebelled with their counsel, and they were brought low through their iniquity.

Many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.

44 Nevertheless he looked on when they were in distress, when he heard their entreaty.

And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.

45 And he remembered unto them his covenant, and he bethought himself according to the abundance of his kindnesses;

And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

46 And be caused them to find mercy before all those that had carried them away captive.

And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives.

47 Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, to triumph in thy praise.

Save us, O Lord, our God: and gather us from among nations: That we may give thanks to thy holy name, and may 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 be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.
