Psalms 106

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

Hallelujah. Oh give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for to eternity endureth his kindness.

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

Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can publish all his praise?

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

Happy are those that observe justice, that execute 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 favorest thy people: oh visit me with 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 look on the happiness of thy elect, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glorify myself with thy inheritance.

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

We have sinned together with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done 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 did not reflect on thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy kindnesses; but rebelled 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 the sake of his name, to make known his might.

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

He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; and he led them through the depths, as through the 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: not one of them was left.

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

Then believed they in his words, they sang his praise.

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

Speedily they forgot his works, they waited not for his counsel;

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

And they felt a lustful longing in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

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

And he gave them what they had asked; but sent dryness into their soul.

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

Moreover they envied Moses in the camp, and 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 over 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 burnt up the wicked.

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

They made a calf in Horeb, and bowed themselves down to a molten image.

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

And they exchanged their glory for the similitude of an ox that eateth herbs.

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.

Wonders 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.

He therefore spoke of destroying them: had not Moses his elect stood in the breach before him, to turn away his fury, that he might not destroy.

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

And they despised the pleasant land, they believed not in his word;

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

But 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;

He therefore lifted up his hand against them, to cause them to fall in the wilderness;

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

And to let their seed fall among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

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

And they joined themselves unto Ba'al-pe'or, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

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

And they provoked him to anger with their deeds: and there broke in among them the plague.

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

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

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

And it was accounted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for evermore.

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 evil happened to Moses for their sake;

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

Because they had embittered his spirit, and so he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips.

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

They did not exterminate the nations, that the Lord had indicated to them;

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

But they mingled themselves among the nations, and learned their doings.

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

And they served their idols, and these became unto them a snare.

37 Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to demons,

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto the evil spirits;

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 they shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood-guiltiness.

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

Thus were they made unclean through their own doings, and went astray with their own deeds.

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 be felt disgust for his own inheritance.

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

And he gave them up into the hand of the nations: and there ruled over them those that hated them.

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

And 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 rebelled with their counsel, and they were brought low through their iniquity.

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

Nevertheless he looked on when they were in distress, when he heard their entreaty.

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

And he remembered unto them his covenant, and he bethought himself according to the abundance of his kindnesses;

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

And be caused them to find mercy before all those that had carried them away 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, to give thanks unto thy holy name, to 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.
