Psalms 106
1 Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
| הַֽלְלוּיָ֨הּ ׀ הֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־טֹ֑וב כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃ |
2 Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?
| מִ֗י יְ֭מַלֵּל גְּבוּרֹ֣ות יְהוָ֑ה יַ֝שְׁמִ֗יעַ כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃ |
3 How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.
| אַ֭שְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵ֣י מִשְׁפָּ֑ט עֹשֵׂ֖ה צְדָקָ֣ה בְכָל־עֵֽת׃ |
4 Remember me, O Yahweh, when thou acceptest thy people, Visit me, with thy salvation;
| זָכְרֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה בִּרְצֹ֣ון עַמֶּ֑ךָ פָּ֝קְדֵ֗נִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃ |
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.
| לִרְאֹ֤ות ׀ בְּטֹ֘ובַ֤ת בְּחִירֶ֗יךָ לִ֭שְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַ֣ת גֹּויֶ֑ךָ לְ֝הִתְהַלֵּ֗ל עִם־נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ׃ |
6 We have sinned—with our fathers, We have acted perversely, we have committed lawlessness;
| חָטָ֥אנוּ עִם־אֲבֹותֵ֗ינוּ הֶעֱוִ֥ינוּ הִרְשָֽׁעְנוּ׃ |
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.
| אֲבֹ֘ותֵ֤ינוּ בְמִצְרַ֨יִם ׀ לֹא־הִשְׂכִּ֬ילוּ נִפְלְאֹותֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א זָ֭כְרוּ אֶת־רֹ֣ב חֲסָדֶ֑יךָ וַיַּמְר֖וּ עַל־יָ֣ם בְּיַם־סֽוּף׃ |
8 Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power;
| וַֽ֭יֹּושִׁיעֵם לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֹ֑ו לְ֝הֹודִ֗יעַ אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֹֽו׃ |
9 So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;
| וַיִּגְעַ֣ר בְּיַם־ס֭וּף וֽ͏ַיֶּחֱרָ֑ב וַיֹּולִיכֵ֥ם בַּ֝תְּהֹמֹ֗ות כַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ |
10 And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe;
| וַֽ֭יֹּושִׁיעֵם מִיַּ֣ד שֹׂונֵ֑א וַ֝יִּגְאָלֵ֗ם מִיַּ֥ד אֹויֵֽב׃ |
11 So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.
| וַיְכַסּוּ־מַ֥יִם צָרֵיהֶ֑ם אֶחָ֥ד מֵ֝הֶ֗ם לֹ֣א נֹותָֽר׃ |
12 They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise.
| וַיַּאֲמִ֥ינוּ בִדְבָרָ֑יו יָ֝שִׁ֗ירוּ תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃ |
13 Soon forgat they his works, —They waited not for his counsel;
| מִֽ֭הֲרוּ שָׁכְח֣וּ מַעֲשָׂ֑יו לֹֽא־חִ֝כּ֗וּ לַעֲצָתֹֽו׃ |
14 But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.
| וַיִּתְאַוּ֣וּ תַ֭אֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵ֝֗ל בִּֽישִׁימֹֽון׃ |
15 So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
| וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָ֑ם וַיְשַׁלַּ֖ח רָזֹ֣ון בְּנַפְשָֽׁם׃ |
16 And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, —of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;
| וַיְקַנְא֣וּ לְ֭מֹשֶׁה בַּֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה לְ֝אַהֲרֹ֗ן קְדֹ֣ושׁ יְהוָֽה׃ |
17 The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;
| תִּפְתַּח־אֶ֭רֶץ וַתִּבְלַ֣ע דָּתָ֑ן וַ֝תְּכַ֗ס עַל־עֲדַ֥ת אֲבִירָֽם׃ |
18 Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, —a flame, consumed the lawless ones.
| וַתִּבְעַר־אֵ֥שׁ בַּעֲדָתָ֑ם לֶ֝הָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט רְשָׁעִֽים׃ |
19 They made a calf in Horeb, —and bowed down to a molten image;
| יַעֲשׂוּ־עֵ֥גֶל בְּחֹרֵ֑ב וַ֝יִּשְׁתַּחֲו֗וּ לְמַסֵּכָֽה׃ |
20 Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
| וַיָּמִ֥ירוּ אֶת־כְּבֹודָ֑ם בְּתַבְנִ֥ית שֹׁ֝֗ור אֹכֵ֥ל עֵֽשֶׂב׃ |
21 They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:
| שָׁ֭כְחוּ אֵ֣ל מֹושִׁיעָ֑ם עֹשֶׂ֖ה גְדֹלֹ֣ות בְּמִצְרָֽיִם׃ |
22 Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.
| נִ֭פְלָאֹות בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָ֑ם נֹ֝ורָאֹ֗ות עַל־יַם־סֽוּף׃ |
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.
| וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לְֽהַשְׁמִ֫ידָ֥ם לוּלֵ֡י מֹ֘שֶׁ֤ה בְחִירֹ֗ו עָמַ֣ד בַּפֶּ֣רֶץ לְפָנָ֑יו לְהָשִׁ֥יב חֲ֝מָתֹ֗ו מֵֽהַשְׁחִֽית׃ |
24 And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;
| וַֽ֭יִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חֶמְדָּ֑ה לֹֽא־הֶ֝אֱמִ֗ינוּ לִדְבָרֹֽו׃ |
25 But murmured in their tents, —They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.
| וַיֵּרָגְנ֥וּ בְאָהֳלֵיהֶ֑ם לֹ֥א שָׁ֝מְע֗וּ בְּקֹ֣ול יְהוָֽה׃ |
26 So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;
| וַיִּשָּׂ֣א יָדֹ֣ו לָהֶ֑ם לְהַפִּ֥יל אֹ֝ותָ֗ם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ |
27 And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.
| וּלְהַפִּ֣יל זַ֭רְעָם בַּגֹּויִ֑ם וּ֝לְזָרֹותָ֗ם בָּאֲרָצֹֽות׃ |
28 Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, —and did eat sacrifices to the dead:
| וַ֭יִּצָּ֣מְדוּ לְבַ֣עַל פְּעֹ֑ור וַ֝יֹּאכְל֗וּ זִבְחֵ֥י מֵתִֽים׃ |
29 So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.
| וַ֭יַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶ֑ם וַתִּפְרָץ־בָּ֝֗ם מַגֵּפָֽה׃ |
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:
| וַיַּעֲמֹ֣ד פִּֽ֭ינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּ֑ל וַ֝תֵּעָצַ֗ר הַמַּגֵּפָֽה׃ |
31 So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.
| וַתֵּחָ֣שֶׁב לֹ֭ו לִצְדָקָ֑ה לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר עַד־עֹולָֽם׃ |
32 And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, —And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;
| וַ֭יַּקְצִיפוּ עַל־מֵ֥י מְרִיבָ֑ה וַיֵּ֥רַע לְ֝מֹשֶׁ֗ה בַּעֲבוּרָֽם׃ |
33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.
| כִּֽי־הִמְר֥וּ אֶת־רוּחֹ֑ו וַ֝יְבַטֵּ֗א בִּשְׂפָתָֽיו׃ |
34 They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them;
| לֹֽא־הִ֭שְׁמִידוּ אֶת־הָֽעַמִּ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה לָהֶֽם׃ |
35 But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;
| וַיִּתְעָרְב֥וּ בַגֹּויִ֑ם וַֽ֝יִּלְמְד֗וּ מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃ |
36 Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare:
| וַיַּעַבְד֥וּ אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶ֑ם וַיִּהְי֖וּ לָהֶ֣ם לְמֹוקֵֽשׁ׃ |
37 Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons;
| וַיִּזְבְּח֣וּ אֶת־בְּ֭נֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֹֽותֵיהֶ֗ם לַשֵּֽׁדִים׃ |
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;
| וַיִּֽשְׁפְּכ֨וּ דָ֪ם נָקִ֡י דַּם־בְּנֵ֘יהֶ֤ם וּֽבְנֹותֵיהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר זִ֭בְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּ֣י כְנָ֑עַן וַתֶּחֱנַ֥ף הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ בַּדָּמִֽים׃ |
39 And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.
| וַיִּטְמְא֥וּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּזְ֗נוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃ |
40 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.
| וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֣ף יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמֹּ֑ו וַ֝יְתָעֵ֗ב אֶת־נַחֲלָתֹֽו׃ |
41 So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them;
| וַיִּתְּנֵ֥ם בְּיַד־גֹּויִ֑ם וַֽיִּמְשְׁל֥וּ בָ֝הֶ֗ם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶֽם׃ |
42 And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.
| וַיִּלְחָצ֥וּם אֹויְבֵיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּכָּנְע֗וּ תַּ֣חַת יָדָֽם׃ |
43 Many times, did he rescue them, —But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.
| פְּעָמִ֥ים רַבֹּ֗ות יַצִּ֫ילֵ֥ם וְ֭הֵמָּה יַמְר֣וּ בַעֲצָתָ֑ם וַ֝יָּמֹ֗כּוּ בַּעֲוֹנָֽם׃ |
44 Then looked he on the distress which befell them, —when he heard their loud cry;
| וַ֭יַּרְא בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם בְּ֝שָׁמְעֹ֗ו אֶת־רִנָּתָֽם׃ |
45 Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;
| וַיִּזְכֹּ֣ר לָהֶ֣ם בְּרִיתֹ֑ו וַ֝יִּנָּחֵ֗ם כְּרֹ֣ב חַסְדֹּו (חֲסָדָֽיו)׃ |
46 And granted them compassion before all their captors.
| וַיִּתֵּ֣ן אֹותָ֣ם לְרַחֲמִ֑ים לִ֝פְנֵ֛י כָּל־שֹׁובֵיהֶֽם׃ |
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.
| הֹושִׁיעֵ֨נוּ ׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ֮ מִֽן־הַגֹּ֫ויִ֥ם לְ֭הֹדֹות לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ לְ֝הִשְׁתַּבֵּ֗חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ |
48 Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!
| בָּר֤וּךְ־יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵ֪י יִשְׂרָאֵ֡ל מִן־הָ֤עֹולָ֨ם ׀ וְעַ֬ד הָעֹולָ֗ם וְאָמַ֖ר כָּל־הָעָ֥ם אָמֵ֗ן הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ |
