Psalms 106

1 Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.

Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

2 Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?

Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or fully declare all his praise?

3 O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.

Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.

4 Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.

Remember me, LORD, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,

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 prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.

6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.

We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have 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 did not understand your wonders in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

8 And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,

Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power known.

9 And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

10 And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.

He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.

The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.

12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,

Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.

13 They have hasted — forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.

They soon forgot his works. They did not wait for his counsel,

14 And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.

but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.

15 And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.

He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

16 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.

They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, the LORD's holy one.

17 Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

18 And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.

A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.

19 They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,

They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.

20 And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.

Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.

21 They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,

They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

22 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome 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 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.

24 And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.

Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They did not believe his word,

25 And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.

but murmured in their tents, and did not listen to the LORD's voice.

26 And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,

Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

27 And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.

and that he would make their offspring fall among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

28 And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29 And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,

Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.

30 And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,

Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.

31 And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations — unto the age.

That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.

32 And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,

They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

33 For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.

because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.

34 They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,

They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,

35 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,

but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.

36 And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.

They served their idols, which became a snare to them.

37 And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,

Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

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.

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.

39 And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.

Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.

40 And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.

Therefore the LORD burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.

41 And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,

He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.

42 And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.

Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.

43 Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.

Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.

44 And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,

Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.

45 And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.

He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

46 And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.

He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.

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.

Save us, LORD, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your 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, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the LORD.
