Psalms 106
1 Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!
| הללו-יה הודו ליהוה כי-טוב-- כי לעולם חסדו |
2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?
| מי--ימלל גבורות יהוה ישמיע כל-תהלתו |
3 Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise righteousness at all times!
| אשרי שמרי משפט עשה צדקה בכל-עת |
4 Remember me, O LORD! with the favor promised to thy people; O visit me with thy salvation!
| זכרני יהוה ברצון עמך פקדני בישועתך |
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!
| 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 in Egypt did not regard thy wonders; They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; But rebelled at the sea, the Red sea.
| אבותינו במצרים לא-השכילו נפלאותיך-- לא זכרו את-רב חסדיך וימרו על-ים בים-סוף |
8 Yet he saved them for his own name's sake. That he might make his mighty power to be known.
| ויושיעם למען שמו-- להודיע את-גבורתו |
9 He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up, And he led them through the deep as through a desert.
| ויגער בים-סוף ויחרב ויוליכם בתהמות כמדבר |
10 He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
| ויושיעם מיד שונא ויגאלם מיד אויב |
11 The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.
| ויכסו-מים צריהם אחד מהם לא נותר |
12 Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.
| ויאמינו בדבריו ישירו תהלתו |
13 But they soon forgot his deeds, And waited not for his counsel.
| מהרו שכחו מעשיו לא-חכו לעצתו |
14 They gave way to appetite in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert;
| ויתאוו תאוה במדבר וינסו-אל בישימון |
15 And he gave them their request, But sent upon them leanness.
| ויתן להם שאלתם וישלח רזון בנפשם |
16 They also envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
| ויקנאו למשה במחנה לאהרן קדוש יהוה |
17 Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram,
| תפתח-ארץ ותבלע דתן ותכס על-עדת אבירם |
18 And a fire was kindled in their company; The flames burned up the wicked.
| ותבער-אש בעדתם להבה תלהט רשעים |
19 They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image;
| יעשו-עגל בחרב וישתחוו למסכה |
20 They changed their God of glory Into the image of a grass-eating ox.
| וימירו את-כבודם בתבנית שור אכל עשב |
21 They forgot God, their saviour, Who had done such great things in Egypt,
| שכחו אל מושיעם-- עשה גדלות במצרים |
22 Such wonders in the land of Ham. Such terrible things at the Red sea.
| נפלאות בארץ חם נוראות על-ים-סוף |
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.
| ויאמר להשמידם לולי משה בחירו-- עמד בפרץ לפניו להשיב חמתו מהשחית |
24 They also despised the pleasant land, And believed not his word;
| וימאסו בארץ חמדה לא-האמינו לדברו |
25 But murmured in their tents, And would not hearken to the voice of the LORD.
| וירגנו באהליהם לא שמעו בקול יהוה |
26 Then he lifted up his hand against them, And swore that he would make them fall in the wilderness;
| וישא ידו להם-- להפיל אותם במדבר |
27 That he would overthrow their descendants among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
| ולהפיל זרעם בגוים ולזרותם בארצות |
28 They also gave themselves to the worship of Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to lifeless idols.
| ויצמדו לבעל פעור ויאכלו זבחי מתים |
29 Thus they provoked his anger by their practices, And a plague broke in upon them.
| ויכעיסו במעלליהם ותפרץ-בם מגפה |
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment, And the plague was stayed.
| ויעמד פינחס ויפלל ותעצר המגפה |
31 And this was counted to him for righteousness, To all generations for ever.
| ותחשב לו לצדקה לדר ודר עד-עולם |
32 They provoked him also at the waters of Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.
| ויקציפו על-מי מריבה וירע למשה בעבורם |
33 For they provoked his spirit, So that he spake inconsiderately with his lips.
| כי-המרו את-רוחו ויבטא בשפתיו |
34 They did not destroy the nations, As Jehovah had commanded them.
| לא-השמידו את-העמים-- אשר אמר יהוה להם |
35 They mingled themselves with the peoples, And learned their practices.
| ויתערבו בגוים וילמדו מעשיהם |
36 They even worshipped their idols, Which became to them a snare.
| ויעבדו את-עצביהם ויהיו להם למוקש |
37 Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to demons,
| ויזבחו את-בניהם ואת-בנותיהם-- לשדים |
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.
| וישפכו דם נקי דם-בניהם ובנותיהם-- אשר זבחו לעצבי כנען ותחנף הארץ בדמים |
39 Thus they defiled themselves with their works, And played the harlot with their practices.
| ויטמאו במעשיהם ויזנו במעלליהם |
40 Then burned the anger of the LORD against his people, So that he abhorred his own inheritance.
| ויחר-אף יהוה בעמו ויתעב את-נחלתו |
41 And he gave them into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them ruled over them.
| ויתנם ביד-גוים וימשלו בהם שנאיהם |
42 Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.
| וילחצום אויביהם ויכנעו תחת ידם |
43 Many times did he deliver them; But they provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.
| פעמים רבות יצילם והמה ימרו בעצתם וימכו בעונם |
44 Yet, when he heard their cries, He had regard to their affliction;
| וירא בצר להם-- בשמעו את-רנתם |
45 He remembered his covenant with them, And repented according to the greatness of his mercy,
| ויזכר להם בריתו וינחם כרב חסדו |
46 And caused them to find pity Among all that carried them captive.
| ויתן אותם לרחמים-- לפני כל-שוביהם |
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!
| הושיענו יהוה אלהינו וקבצנו מן-הגוים להדות לשם קדשך להשתבח בתהלתך |
48 [Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise ye Jehovah!]
| ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מן-העולם ועד העולם-- ואמר כל-העם אמן הללו-יה |
