Psalms 106
1 Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
| הללויה הודו ליהוה כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו׃ |
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or fully declare all his praise?
| מי ימלל גבורות יהוה ישמיע כל תהלתו׃ |
3 Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
| אשרי שמרי משפט עשה צדקה בכל עת׃ |
4 Remember me, LORD, with the favour that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
| זכרני יהוה ברצון עמך פקדני בישועתך׃ |
5 that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your 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 didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
| אבותינו במצרים לא השכילו נפלאותיך לא זכרו את רב חסדיך וימרו על ים בים סוף׃ |
8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
| ויושיעם למען שמו להודיע את גבורתו׃ |
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
| ויגער בים סוף ויחרב ויוליכם בתהמות כמדבר׃ |
10 He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
| ויושיעם מיד שונא ויגאלם מיד אויב׃ |
11 The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
| ויכסו מים צריהם אחד מהם לא נותר׃ |
12 Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
| ויאמינו בדבריו ישירו תהלתו׃ |
13 They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,
| מהרו שכחו מעשיו לא חכו לעצתו׃ |
14 but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
| ויתאוו תאוה במדבר וינסו אל בישימון׃ |
15 He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
| ויתן להם שאלתם וישלח רזון בנפשם׃ |
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, the LORD’s saint.
| ויקנאו למשה במחנה לאהרן קדוש יהוה׃ |
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
| תפתח ארץ ותבלע דתן ותכס על עדת אבירם׃ |
18 A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burnt 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 Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
| וימירו את כבודם בתבנית שור אכל עשב׃ |
21 They forgot God, their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,
| שכחו אל מושיעם עשה גדלות במצרים׃ |
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
| נפלאות בארץ חם נוראות על ים סוף׃ |
23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
| ויאמר להשמידם לולי משה בחירו עמד בפרץ לפניו להשיב חמתו מהשחית׃ |
24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
| וימאסו בארץ חמדה לא האמינו לדברו׃ |
25 but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice.
| וירגנו באהליהם לא שמעו בקול יהוה׃ |
26 Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
| וישא ידו להם להפיל אותם במדבר׃ |
27 that he would overthrow their offspring amongst the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
| ולהפיל זרעם בגוים ולזרותם בארצות׃ |
28 They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
| ויצמדו לבעל פעור ויאכלו זבחי מתים׃ |
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
| ויכעיסו במעלליהם ותפרץ בם מגפה׃ |
30 Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgement, so the plague was stopped.
| ויעמד פינחס ויפלל ותעצר המגפה׃ |
31 That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
| ותחשב לו לצדקה לדר ודר עד עולם׃ |
32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
| ויקציפו על מי מריבה וירע למשה בעבורם׃ |
33 because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
| כי המרו את רוחו ויבטא בשפתיו׃ |
34 They didn’t destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
| לא השמידו את העמים אשר אמר יהוה להם׃ |
35 but mixed themselves with the nations, and learnt their works.
| ויתערבו בגוים וילמדו מעשיהם׃ |
36 They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
| ויעבדו את עצביהם ויהיו להם למוקש׃ |
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
| ויזבחו את בניהם ואת בנותיהם לשדים׃ |
38 They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
| וישפכו דם נקי דם בניהם ובנותיהם אשר זבחו לעצבי כנען ותחנף הארץ בדמים׃ |
39 Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
| ויטמאו במעשיהם ויזנו במעלליהם׃ |
40 Therefore the LORD burnt with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
| ויחר אף יהוה בעמו ויתעב את נחלתו׃ |
41 He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
| ויתנם ביד גוים וימשלו בהם שנאיהם׃ |
42 Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
| וילחצום אויביהם ויכנעו תחת ידם׃ |
43 He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
| פעמים רבות יצילם והמה ימרו בעצתם וימכו בעונם׃ |
44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
| וירא בצר להם בשמעו את רנתם׃ |
45 He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
| ויזכר להם בריתו וינחם כרב חסדו׃ |
46 He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
| ויתן אותם לרחמים לפני כל שוביהם׃ |
47 Save us, LORD, our God, gather us from amongst the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
| הושיענו יהוה אלהינו וקבצנו מן הגוים להדות לשם קדשך להשתבח בתהלתך׃ |
48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise the LORD!
| ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מן העולם ועד העולם ואמר כל העם אמן הללו יה׃ |
