Psalms 106

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Remember me, O Lord, when thou favorest thy people: oh visit me 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 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.

6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.

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

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 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.

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

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

9 And rebukes the Sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causes them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; and he led them through the depths, as through the 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 him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them has not been left.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Moreover they envied Moses in the camp, and 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 over the company of Abiram.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wonders in the land of Ham, terrible things by 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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And they joined themselves unto Ba'al-pe'or, 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 to anger with their deeds: and there broke in among them the plague.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood-guiltiness.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 rebelled with their counsel, and they were brought low through their iniquity.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, to triumph 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 even to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen, Hallelujah.
