Psalms 106
1 Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Praise ye Jehovah. O give thanks to Jehovah, for he is good, for his loving kindness is forever.
2 Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?
Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, or show forth all his praise?
3 How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.
Blessed are those who keep justice, and he who does righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O Yahweh, when thou acceptest thy people, Visit me, with thy salvation;
Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bear to thy people. O visit me with thy salvation,
5 That I may look upon the welfare of thy chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, That I may glory, with thine inheritance.
that I may see 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 acted perversely, we have committed lawlessness;
We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. we have done wickedly.
7 Our fathers, in Egypt, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea—at the Red Sea.
Our fathers did not understand thy wonders in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of thy loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8 Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power;
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;
He also rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up. So he led them through the depths as through a wilderness.
10 And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe;
And he saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.
And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left.
12 They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise.
Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
13 Soon forgat they his works, —They waited not for his counsel;
They soon forgot his works. They did not wait for his counsel,
14 But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.
but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and challenged God in the desert.
15 So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
And he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16 And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, —of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;
They also envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the sanctified of Jehovah.
17 The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, —a flame, consumed the lawless ones.
And a fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked men.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, —and bowed down to a molten image;
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
20 Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
Thus they changed their glory for the likeness of an ox that eats grass.
21 They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:
They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
22 Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.
wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearful things by the Red Sea.
23 Then would he have bidden to destroy them, —had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy.
24 And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;
Yea, they despised the pleasant land. They did not believe his word,
25 But murmured in their tents, —They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.
but murmured in their tents, and did not hearken to the voice of Jehovah.
26 So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;
Therefore he swore to them, that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.
and that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
28 Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, —and did eat sacrifices to the dead:
They also joined themselves to Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.
Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:
Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
31 So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.
And that was reckoned to him for righteousness to all generations for evermore.
32 And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, —And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;
They also angered him at the waters of Meribah, so that it went ill with Moses because of them,
33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.
because they were rebellious against his spirit, and he spoke ill-advisedly with his lips.
34 They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them;
They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them,
35 But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;
but mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works,
36 Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare:
and served their idols, which became a snare to them.
37 Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons;
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,
38 And poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood-shed;
and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. And the land was polluted with blood.
39 And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.
Thus they were defiled with their works, and played the harlot in their doings.
40 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.
Therefore the wrath of Jehovah was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.
41 So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them;
And he gave them into the hand of the nations. And those who hated them ruled over them.
42 And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 Many times, did he rescue them, —But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.
Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
44 Then looked he on the distress which befell them, —when he heard their loud cry;
Nevertheless he regarded their distress when he heard their cry.
45 Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;
And he remembered his covenant for them, and relented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
46 And granted them compassion before all their captors.
He also made them to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
47 Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, That we may triumph aloud in thy praise.
Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
48 Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!
Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Truly. Praise ye Jehovah.
