Psalms 106

1 Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!

Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.

2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?

Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?

3 Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise righteousness at all times!

Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.

4 Remember me, O LORD! with the favor promised to thy people; O visit me with thy salvation!

Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;

5 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!

That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.

6 We have sinned with our fathers; We have committed iniquity; we have done wickedly.

We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.

7 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.

Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

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

Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.

9 He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up, And he led them through the deep as through a desert.

And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

10 He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed 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 The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.

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

12 Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.

Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.

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

They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel;

14 They gave way to appetite in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert;

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried God in the desert.

15 And he gave them their request, But sent upon them leanness.

And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

16 They also envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.

17 Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram,

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

18 And a fire was kindled in their company; The flames burned up the wicked.

And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

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

They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.

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

Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

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

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

22 Such wonders in the land of Ham. Such terrible things at the Red sea.

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.

23 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.

Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.

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

Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, they believed not His word;

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

And they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

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

Therefore He swore concerning them, that He would overthrow them in the wilderness;

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

And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

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

They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

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

Thus they provoked Him with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.

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

Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, and so the plague was stayed.

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

And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for ever.

32 They provoked him also at the waters of Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.

They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses because of them;

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

For they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.

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

They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them;

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

But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works;

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

And they served their idols, which became a snare unto them;

37 Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to demons,

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

38 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.

And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.

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

Thus were they defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.

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

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.

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

And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them.

42 Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.

Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were subdued under their hand.

43 Many times did he deliver them; But they provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.

Many times did He deliver them; but they were rebellious in their counsel, and sank low through their iniquity.

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

Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, when He heard their cry;

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

And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.

46 And caused them to find pity Among all that carried them captive.

He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captive.

47 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!

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.

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

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah.
