Psalms 106
1 Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.
2 Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?
Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?
3 How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.
O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing 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 favour of Thy people, Look after me in 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.
To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself 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 done perversely, 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 in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.
8 Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power;
And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,
9 So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;
And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as 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 saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.
11 So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.
And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.
12 They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise.
And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
13 Soon forgat they his works, —They waited not for his counsel;
They have hasted — forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
14 But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.
And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
15 So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.
16 And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, —of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;
And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.
17 The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;
Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.
18 Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, —a flame, consumed the lawless ones.
And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, —and bowed down to a molten image;
They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
20 Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
21 They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:
They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,
22 Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.
Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.
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.
And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.
24 And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;
And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
25 But murmured in their tents, —They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.
And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.
26 So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;
And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
27 And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.
And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
28 Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, —and did eat sacrifices to the dead:
And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
29 So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.
And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:
And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,
31 So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.
And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations — unto the age.
32 And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, —And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;
And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.
For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.
34 They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them;
They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,
35 But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;
And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
36 Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare:
And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.
37 Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons;
And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,
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 they shed innocent blood — Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.
39 And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.
And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
40 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.
And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.
41 So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them;
And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
42 And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.
And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled 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 doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
44 Then looked he on the distress which befell them, —when he heard their loud cry;
And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,
45 Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;
And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
46 And granted them compassion before all their captors.
And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.
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 the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory 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 [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, 'Amen, praise Jah!'
