Psalms 106

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

5 To look on the good of Your chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Your nation, To boast myself with Your 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 with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.

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

7 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.

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

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

9 And rebukes the Sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causes them to go Through depths as a 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 saves them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeems 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 waters cover their adversaries, One of them has not been left.

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

12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,

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

13 They have hurried—forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.

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

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

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

15 And He gives to them their request, And sends leanness into their soul.

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

16 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, YHWH’s holy one.

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

17 Earth opens, and swallows up Dathan, And covers over the company of Abiram.

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

18 And fire burns among their company, A flame sets the wicked on fire.

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

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

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

20 And change their glory Into the form of an ox eating herbs.

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

21 They have forgotten God their Savior, The doer of great things in Egypt,

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

22 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the Sea of Suph.

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

23 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

35 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,

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

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

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

37 And they sacrifice their sons and their daughters to the demons,

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

38 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.

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 And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.

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

40 And the anger of YHWH Is kindled against His people, And He detests His inheritance.

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

41 And gives them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,

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

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

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

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

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

44 And He looks on their distress When He hears their cry,

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

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

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

46 And He appoints them for mercies Before all their captors.

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

47 Save us, O our God YHWH, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Your Holy Name, To glory in Your 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 [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age until age. And all the people said, “Amen, praise YAH!”

Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.
