Psalms 106
1 Praise JAH. Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
| הללו-יה הודו ליהוה כי-טוב-- כי לעולם חסדו |
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of YHWH, or fully declare all his praise?
| מי--ימלל גבורות יהוה ישמיע כל-תהלתו |
3 Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.
| אשרי שמרי משפט עשה צדקה בכל-עת |
4 Remember me, YHWH, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
| זכרני יהוה ברצון עמך פקדני בישועתך |
5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
| לראות בטובת בחיריך-- לשמח בשמחת גויך להתהלל עם-נחלתך |
6 We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
| חטאנו עם-אבותינו העוינו הרשענו |
7 Our fathers did not understand your wonders in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
| אבותינו במצרים לא-השכילו נפלאותיך-- לא זכרו את-רב חסדיך וימרו על-ים בים-סוף |
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
| ויושיעם למען שמו-- להודיע את-גבורתו |
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
| ויגער בים-סוף ויחרב ויוליכם בתהמות כמדבר |
10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
| ויושיעם מיד שונא ויגאלם מיד אויב |
11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
| ויכסו-מים צריהם אחד מהם לא נותר |
12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
| ויאמינו בדבריו ישירו תהלתו |
13 They soon forgot his works. They did not wait for his counsel,
| מהרו שכחו מעשיו לא-חכו לעצתו |
14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
| ויתאוו תאוה במדבר וינסו-אל בישימון |
15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
| ויתן להם שאלתם וישלח רזון בנפשם |
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, YHWH's holy one.
| ויקנאו למשה במחנה לאהרן קדוש יהוה |
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
| תפתח-ארץ ותבלע דתן ותכס על-עדת אבירם |
18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
| ותבער-אש בעדתם להבה תלהט רשעים |
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
| יעשו-עגל בחרב וישתחוו למסכה |
20 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
| וימירו את-כבודם בתבנית שור אכל עשב |
21 They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
| שכחו אל מושיעם-- עשה גדלות במצרים |
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
| נפלאות בארץ חם נוראות על-ים-סוף |
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.
| ויאמר להשמידם לולי משה בחירו-- עמד בפרץ לפניו להשיב חמתו מהשחית |
24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They did not believe his word,
| וימאסו בארץ חמדה לא-האמינו לדברו |
25 but murmured in their tents, and did not listen to YHWH's voice.
| וירגנו באהליהם לא שמעו בקול יהוה |
26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
| וישא ידו להם-- להפיל אותם במדבר |
27 and that he would make their offspring fall among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
| ולהפיל זרעם בגוים ולזרותם בארצות |
28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
| ויצמדו לבעל פעור ויאכלו זבחי מתים |
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
| ויכעיסו במעלליהם ותפרץ-בם מגפה |
30 Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
| ויעמד פינחס ויפלל ותעצר המגפה |
31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
| ותחשב לו לצדקה לדר ודר עד-עולם |
32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
| ויקציפו על-מי מריבה וירע למשה בעבורם |
33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
| כי-המרו את-רוחו ויבטא בשפתיו |
34 They did not destroy the peoples, as YHWH commanded them,
| לא-השמידו את-העמים-- אשר אמר יהוה להם |
35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.
| ויתערבו בגוים וילמדו מעשיהם |
36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
| ויעבדו את-עצביהם ויהיו להם למוקש |
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
| ויזבחו את-בניהם ואת-בנותיהם-- לשדים |
38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
| וישפכו דם נקי דם-בניהם ובנותיהם-- אשר זבחו לעצבי כנען ותחנף הארץ בדמים |
39 Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
| ויטמאו במעשיהם ויזנו במעלליהם |
40 Therefore YHWH burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
| ויחר-אף יהוה בעמו ויתעב את-נחלתו |
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
| ויתנם ביד-גוים וימשלו בהם שנאיהם |
42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
| וילחצום אויביהם ויכנעו תחת ידם |
43 Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
| פעמים רבות יצילם והמה ימרו בעצתם וימכו בעונם |
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
| וירא בצר להם-- בשמעו את-רנתם |
45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
| ויזכר להם בריתו וינחם כרב חסדו |
46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
| ויתן אותם לרחמים-- לפני כל-שוביהם |
47 Save us, YHWH, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.
| הושיענו יהוה אלהינו וקבצנו מן-הגוים להדות לשם קדשך להשתבח בתהלתך |
48 Blessed be YHWH, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen." Praise JAH.
| ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מן-העולם ועד העולם-- ואמר כל-העם אמן הללו-יה |
