Psalms 106

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 And He saves them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeems them from the hand of the enemy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

37 And they sacrifice their sons and their daughters to the 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

48 Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age until age. And all the people said, “Amen, praise YAH!”
