Psalms 106
1 Praise YAH, give thanks to YHWH, for [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!
| הללו-יה הודו ליהוה כי-טוב-- כי לעולם חסדו |
2 Who utters the mighty acts of YHWH? Sounds all His praise?
| מי--ימלל גבורות יהוה ישמיע כל-תהלתו |
3 O the blessedness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.
| אשרי שמרי משפט עשה צדקה בכל-עת |
4 Remember me, O YHWH, With the favor of Your people, Look after me in Your salvation.
| זכרני יהוה ברצון עמך פקדני בישועתך |
5 To look on the good of Your chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Your nation, To boast myself with Your inheritance.
| לראות בטובת בחיריך-- לשמח בשמחת גויך להתהלל עם-נחלתך |
6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.
| חטאנו עם-אבותינו העוינו הרשענו |
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.
| אבותינו במצרים לא-השכילו נפלאותיך-- לא זכרו את-רב חסדיך וימרו על-ים בים-סוף |
8 And He saves them for His Name’s sake, To make His might known,
| ויושיעם למען שמו-- להודיע את-גבורתו |
9 And rebukes the Sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causes them to go Through depths as a wilderness.
| ויגער בים-סוף ויחרב ויוליכם בתהמות כמדבר |
10 And He saves them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeems them from the hand of the enemy.
| ויושיעם מיד שונא ויגאלם מיד אויב |
11 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them has not been left.
| ויכסו-מים צריהם אחד מהם לא נותר |
12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
| ויאמינו בדבריו ישירו תהלתו |
13 They have hurried—forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
| מהרו שכחו מעשיו לא-חכו לעצתו |
14 And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
| ויתאוו תאוה במדבר וינסו-אל בישימון |
15 And He gives to them their request, And sends leanness into their soul.
| ויתן להם שאלתם וישלח רזון בנפשם |
16 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, YHWH’s holy one.
| ויקנאו למשה במחנה לאהרן קדוש יהוה |
17 Earth opens, and swallows up Dathan, And covers over the company of Abiram.
| תפתח-ארץ ותבלע דתן ותכס על-עדת אבירם |
18 And fire burns among their company, A flame sets the wicked on fire.
| ותבער-אש בעדתם להבה תלהט רשעים |
19 They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
| יעשו-עגל בחרב וישתחוו למסכה |
20 And change their glory Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
| וימירו את-כבודם בתבנית שור אכל עשב |
21 They have forgotten God their Savior, The doer of great things in Egypt,
| שכחו אל מושיעם-- עשה גדלות במצרים |
22 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the Sea of Suph.
| נפלאות בארץ חם נוראות על-ים-סוף |
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.
| ויאמר להשמידם לולי משה בחירו-- עמד בפרץ לפניו להשיב חמתו מהשחית |
24 And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
| וימאסו בארץ חמדה לא-האמינו לדברו |
25 And they murmur in their tents, They have not listened to the voice of YHWH.
| וירגנו באהליהם לא שמעו בקול יהוה |
26 And He lifts up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
| וישא ידו להם-- להפיל אותם במדבר |
27 And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
| ולהפיל זרעם בגוים ולזרותם בארצות |
28 And they are coupled to Ba‘al-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
| ויצמדו לבעל פעור ויאכלו זבחי מתים |
29 And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaks forth on them,
| ויכעיסו במעלליהם ותפרץ-בם מגפה |
30 And Phinehas stands, and executes judgment, And the plague is restrained,
| ויעמד פינחס ויפלל ותעצר המגפה |
31 And it is reckoned to him for righteousness, From generation to generation—for all time.
| ותחשב לו לצדקה לדר ודר עד-עולם |
32 And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
| ויקציפו על-מי מריבה וירע למשה בעבורם |
33 For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaks wrongfully with his lips.
| כי-המרו את-רוחו ויבטא בשפתיו |
34 They have not destroyed the peoples, As YHWH had commanded to them,
| לא-השמידו את-העמים-- אשר אמר יהוה להם |
35 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
| ויתערבו בגוים וילמדו מעשיהם |
36 And serve their idols, And they are for a snare to them.
| ויעבדו את-עצביהם ויהיו להם למוקש |
37 And they sacrifice their sons and their daughters to the demons,
| ויזבחו את-בניהם ואת-בנותיהם-- לשדים |
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.
| וישפכו דם נקי דם-בניהם ובנותיהם-- אשר זבחו לעצבי כנען ותחנף הארץ בדמים |
39 And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
| ויטמאו במעשיהם ויזנו במעלליהם |
40 And the anger of YHWH Is kindled against His people, And He detests His inheritance.
| ויחר-אף יהוה בעמו ויתעב את-נחלתו |
41 And gives them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
| ויתנם ביד-גוים וימשלו בהם שנאיהם |
42 And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.
| וילחצום אויביהם ויכנעו תחת ידם |
43 He delivers them many times, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
| פעמים רבות יצילם והמה ימרו בעצתם וימכו בעונם |
44 And He looks on their distress When He hears their cry,
| וירא בצר להם-- בשמעו את-רנתם |
45 And remembers His covenant for them, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
| ויזכר להם בריתו וינחם כרב חסדו |
46 And He appoints them for mercies Before all their captors.
| ויתן אותם לרחמים-- לפני כל-שוביהם |
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.
| הושיענו יהוה אלהינו וקבצנו מן-הגוים להדות לשם קדשך להשתבח בתהלתך |
48 Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age until age. And all the people said, “Amen, praise YAH!”
| ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מן-העולם ועד העולם-- ואמר כל-העם אמן הללו-יה |
