< Psalms 106 >

1 Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.
Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord because he is good, for his mercie endureth for euer.
2 Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?
Who can expresse the noble actes of the Lord, or shewe forth all his prayse?
3 O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.
Blessed are they that keepe iudgement, and doe righteousnesse at all times.
4 Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.
Remember me, O Lord, with the fauour of thy people: visite me with thy saluation,
5 To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.
That I may see the felicitie of thy chosen, and reioyce in the ioy of thy people, and glorie with thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.
We haue sinned with our fathers: we haue committed iniquitie, and done wickedly.
7 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.
Our fathers vnderstoode not thy wonders in Egypt, neither remembred they the multitude of thy mercies, but rebelled at the Sea, euen at the red sea.
8 And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,
Neuerthelesse he saued them for his Names sake, that he might make his power to be knowen.
9 And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.
And he rebuked the red Sea, and it was dryed vp, and he led them in the deepe, as in the wildernesse.
10 And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.
And he saued them from ye aduersaries hand, and deliuered them from ye hand of the enemie.
11 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.
And the waters couered their oppressours: not one of them was left.
12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
Then beleeued they his wordes, and sang prayse vnto him.
13 They have hasted — forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
But incontinently they forgate his workes: they wayted not for his counsell,
14 And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
But lusted with concupiscence in the wildernes, and tempted God in the desert.
15 And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.
Then he gaue them their desire: but he sent leannesse into their soule.
16 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.
They enuied Moses also in the tentes, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
17 Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.
Therefore the earth opened and swallowed vp Dathan, and couered the companie of Abiram.
18 And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.
And the fire was kindled in their assembly: the flame burnt vp the wicked.
19 They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
They made a calfe in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
20 And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a bullocke, that eateth grasse.
21 They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,
They forgate God their Sauiour, which had done great things in Egypt,
22 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.
Wonderous woorkes in the lande of Ham, and fearefull things by the red Sea.
23 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.
Therefore he minded to destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stand in the breach before him to turne away his wrath, least he shoulde destroy them.
24 And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
Also they contemned that pleasant land, and beleeued not his worde,
25 And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.
But murmured in their tentes, and hearkened not vnto the voice of the Lord.
26 And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
Therefore hee lifted vp his hande against them, to destroy them in the wildernesse,
27 And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
And to destroy their seede among the nations, and to scatter them throughout the countries.
28 And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
They ioyned themselues also vnto Baalpeor, and did eate the offrings of the dead.
29 And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,
Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their owne inuentions, and the plague brake in vpon them.
30 And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,
But Phinehas stoode vp, and executed iudgement, and the plague was staied.
31 And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations — unto the age.
And it was imputed vnto him for righteousnes from generation to generation for euer.
32 And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
They angred him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was punished for their sakes,
33 For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.
Because they vexed his spirite, so that hee spake vnaduisedly with his lippes.
34 They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,
Neither destroied they the people, as the Lord had commanded them,
35 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their workes,
36 And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.
And serued their idoles, which were their ruine.
37 And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,
Yea, they offered their sonnes, and their daughters vnto deuils,
38 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.
And shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes, and of their daughters, whome they offred vnto the idoles of Canaan, and the lande was defiled with blood.
39 And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
Thus were they steined with their owne woorkes, and went a whoring with their owne inuentions.
40 And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.
Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he abhorred his owne inheritance.
41 And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
And hee gaue them into the hande of the heathen: and they that hated them, were lordes ouer them.
42 And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were humbled vnder their hand.
43 Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
Many a time did hee deliuer them, but they prouoked him by their counsels: therefore they were brought downe by their iniquitie.
44 And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,
Yet hee sawe when they were in affliction, and he heard their crie.
45 And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
And he remembred his couenant towarde them and repented according to the multitude of his mercies,
46 And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.
And gaue them fauour in the sight of all them that lead them captiues.
47 Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.
Saue vs, O Lord our God, and gather vs from among the heathen, that we may praise thine holy Name, and glorie in thy praise.
48 Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, 'Amen, praise Jah!'
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for euer and euer, and let all the people say, So be it. Praise yee the Lord.
