תהילים 106
| הַֽלְלְויָהּ ׀ הוֹדוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טוֹב כִּי לְעוֹלָם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃ | 1 |
Praise Yahweh. Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
| מִי יְמַלֵּל גְּבוּרוֹת יְהוָה יַשְׁמִיעַ כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃ | 2 |
Who can recount the mighty acts of Yahweh or proclaim in full all his praiseworthy deeds?
| אַשְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵי מִשְׁפָּט עֹשֵׂה צְדָקָה בְכָל־עֵֽת׃ | 3 |
Blessed are those who do what is right, and whose deeds are always just.
| זָכְרֵנִי יְהוָה בִּרְצוֹן עַמֶּךָ פָּקְדֵנִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃ | 4 |
Call me to mind, Yahweh, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them.
| לִרְאוֹת ׀ בְּטוֹבַת בְּחִירֶיךָ לִשְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַת גּוֹיֶךָ לְהִתְהַלֵּל עִם־נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ׃ | 5 |
Then I will see the prosperity of your chosen, rejoice in the gladness of your nation, and glory with your inheritance.
| חָטָאנוּ עִם־אֲבוֹתֵינוּ הֶעֱוִינוּ הִרְשָֽׁעְנוּ׃ | 6 |
We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, and we have done evil.
| אֲבוֹתֵינוּ בְמִצְרַיִם ׀ לֹא־הִשְׂכִּילוּ נִפְלְאוֹתֶיךָ לֹא זָכְרוּ אֶת־רֹב חֲסָדֶיךָ וַיַּמְרוּ עַל־יָם בְּיַם־סֽוּף׃ | 7 |
Our fathers did not appreciate your marvelous deeds in Egypt; they ignored your many acts of covenant faithfulness; they were rebellious at the sea, the Sea of Reeds.
| וַֽיּוֹשִׁיעֵם לְמַעַן שְׁמוֹ לְהוֹדִיעַ אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֽוֹ׃ | 8 |
Nevertheless, he saved them for his name's sake so that he might reveal his power.
| וַיִּגְעַר בְּיַם־סוּף וֽ͏ַיֶּחֱרָב וַיּוֹלִיכֵם בַּתְּהֹמוֹת כַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ | 9 |
He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up. Then he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
| וַֽיּוֹשִׁיעֵם מִיַּד שׂוֹנֵא וַיִּגְאָלֵם מִיַּד אוֹיֵֽב׃ | 10 |
He saved them from the hand of those who hated them, and he rescued them from the hand of the enemy.
| וַיְכַסּוּ־מַיִם צָרֵיהֶם אֶחָד מֵהֶם לֹא נוֹתָֽר׃ | 11 |
But the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
| וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בִדְבָרָיו יָשִׁירוּ תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃ | 12 |
Then they believed his words, and they sang his praise.
| מִֽהֲרוּ שָׁכְחוּ מַעֲשָׂיו לֹֽא־חִכּוּ לַעֲצָתֽוֹ׃ | 13 |
But they quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions.
| וַיִּתְאַוּוּ תַאֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵל בִּֽישִׁימֽוֹן׃ | 14 |
They had insatiable cravings in the wilderness, and they challenged God in the desert.
| וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָם וַיְשַׁלַּח רָזוֹן בְּנַפְשָֽׁם׃ | 15 |
So he gave them what they requested, but he sent a horrible disease upon them.
| וַיְקַנְאוּ לְמֹשֶׁה בַּֽמַּחֲנֶה לְאַהֲרֹן קְדוֹשׁ יְהוָֽה׃ | 16 |
In the camp they became jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy priest of Yahweh.
| תִּפְתַּח־אֶרֶץ וַתִּבְלַע דָּתָן וַתְּכַס עַל־עֲדַת אֲבִירָֽם׃ | 17 |
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the followers of Abiram.
| וַתִּבְעַר־אֵשׁ בַּעֲדָתָם לֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט רְשָׁעִֽים׃ | 18 |
Fire broke out among them; the fire consumed the wicked.
| יַעֲשׂוּ־עֵגֶל בְּחֹרֵב וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְמַסֵּכָֽה׃ | 19 |
They made a calf at Horeb and worshiped a cast metal figure.
| וַיָּמִירוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדָם בְּתַבְנִית שׁוֹר אֹכֵל עֵֽשֶׂב׃ | 20 |
They traded the glory of God for the image of a bull that eats grass.
| שָׁכְחוּ אֵל מוֹשִׁיעָם עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלוֹת בְּמִצְרָֽיִם׃ | 21 |
They forgot God their Savior, who had done great deeds in Egypt.
| נִפְלָאוֹת בְּאֶרֶץ חָם נוֹרָאוֹת עַל־יַם־סֽוּף׃ | 22 |
He had done wonderful things in the land of Ham and mighty acts at the Sea of Reeds.
| וַיֹּאמֶר לְֽהַשְׁמִידָם לוּלֵי מֹשֶׁה בְחִירוֹ עָמַד בַּפֶּרֶץ לְפָנָיו לְהָשִׁיב חֲמָתוֹ מֵֽהַשְׁחִֽית׃ | 23 |
So he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his anger from destroying them.
| וַֽיִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶרֶץ חֶמְדָּה לֹֽא־הֶאֱמִינוּ לִדְבָרֽוֹ׃ | 24 |
Then they despised the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise,
| וַיֵּרָגְנוּ בְאָהֳלֵיהֶם לֹא שָׁמְעוּ בְּקוֹל יְהוָֽה׃ | 25 |
but grumbled in their tents, and did not obey Yahweh.
| וַיִּשָּׂא יָדוֹ לָהֶם לְהַפִּיל אוֹתָם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ | 26 |
Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would let them die in the desert,
| וּלְהַפִּיל זַרְעָם בַּגּוֹיִם וּלְזָרוֹתָם בָּאֲרָצֽוֹת׃ | 27 |
scatter their descendants among the nations, and scatter them in foreign lands.
| וַיִּצָּמְדוּ לְבַעַל פְּעוֹר וַיֹּאכְלוּ זִבְחֵי מֵתִֽים׃ | 28 |
They worshiped the Baal of Peor and ate the sacrifices offered to the dead.
| וַיַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶם וַתִּפְרָץ־בָּם מַגֵּפָֽה׃ | 29 |
They provoked him to anger with their actions, and a plague broke out among them.
| וַיַּעֲמֹד פִּֽינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּל וַתֵּעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָֽה׃ | 30 |
Then Phinehas rose to intervene, and the plague subsided.
| וַתֵּחָשֶׁב לוֹ לִצְדָקָה לְדֹר וָדֹר עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃ | 31 |
It was counted to him as a righteous deed to all generations forever.
| וַיַּקְצִיפוּ עַל־מֵי מְרִיבָה וַיֵּרַע לְמֹשֶׁה בַּעֲבוּרָֽם׃ | 32 |
They also angered Yahweh at the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them.
| כִּֽי־הִמְרוּ אֶת־רוּחוֹ וַיְבַטֵּא בִּשְׂפָתָֽיו׃ | 33 |
They made Moses bitter, and he spoke rashly.
| לֹֽא־הִשְׁמִידוּ אֶת־הָֽעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָה לָהֶֽם׃ | 34 |
They did not destroy the nations as Yahweh had commanded them,
| וַיִּתְעָרְבוּ בַגּוֹיִם וַֽיִּלְמְדוּ מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃ | 35 |
but they mingled with the nations and learned their ways
| וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶם וַיִּהְיוּ לָהֶם לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃ | 36 |
and worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
| וַיִּזְבְּחוּ אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֽוֹתֵיהֶם לַשֵּֽׁדִים׃ | 37 |
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
| וַיִּֽשְׁפְּכוּ דָם נָקִי דַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם וּֽבְנוֹתֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר זִבְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּי כְנָעַן וַתֶּחֱנַף הָאָרֶץ בַּדָּמִֽים׃ | 38 |
They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, desecrating the land with blood.
| וַיִּטְמְאוּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם וַיִּזְנוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃ | 39 |
They were defiled by their deeds; in their actions they were like prostitutes.
| וַיִּֽחַר־אַף יְהוָה בְּעַמּוֹ וַיְתָעֵב אֶת־נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃ | 40 |
So Yahweh was angry with his people, and he despised his own people.
| וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד־גּוֹיִם וַֽיִּמְשְׁלוּ בָהֶם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶֽם׃ | 41 |
He gave them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
| וַיִּלְחָצוּם אוֹיְבֵיהֶם וַיִּכָּנְעוּ תַּחַת יָדָֽם׃ | 42 |
Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection to their authority.
| פְּעָמִים רַבּוֹת יַצִּילֵם וְהֵמָּה יַמְרוּ בַעֲצָתָם וַיָּמֹכּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָֽם׃ | 43 |
Many times he came to help them, but they kept rebelling and were brought low by their own sin.
| וַיַּרְא בַּצַּר לָהֶם בְּשָׁמְעוֹ אֶת־רִנָּתָֽם׃ | 44 |
Nevertheless, he paid attention to their distress when he heard their cry for help.
| וַיִּזְכֹּר לָהֶם בְּרִיתוֹ וַיִּנָּחֵם כְּרֹב חסדו חֲסָדָֽיו׃ | 45 |
He called to mind his covenant with them and relented because of his steadfast love.
| וַיִּתֵּן אוֹתָם לְרַחֲמִים לִפְנֵי כָּל־שׁוֹבֵיהֶֽם׃ | 46 |
He caused all their conquerers to have pity on them.
| הוֹשִׁיעֵנוּ ׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ מִֽן־הַגּוֹיִם לְהֹדוֹת לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃ | 47 |
Save us, Yahweh, our God. Gather us from among the nations so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.
| בָּרוּךְ־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעוֹלָם ׀ וְעַד הָעוֹלָם וְאָמַר כָּל־הָעָם אָמֵן הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃ | 48 |
May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen.” Praise Yahweh.
