Psalms 106

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

Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks 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 can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?

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

Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise 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! with the favor promised to thy people; O 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 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 done perversely, we have done wickedly.

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

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

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

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

10 And He saves them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeems them from 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 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them has not been left.

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

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

Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.

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

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

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

They gave way to appetite 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 their request, But sent upon them leanness.

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

They also 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.

Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered 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 flames burned up the wicked.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to demons,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down 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 provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.

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

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

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

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

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

And caused them to find pity Among all that carried them 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 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 [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age until age. And all the people said, “Amen, praise YAH!”

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