תהילים 106
| הללויה הודו ליהוה כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו׃ | 1 |
Praise JAH. Give thanks to YHWH, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
| מי ימלל גבורות יהוה ישמיע כל תהלתו׃ | 2 |
Who can utter the mighty acts of YHWH, or fully declare all his praise?
| אשרי שמרי משפט עשה צדקה בכל עת׃ | 3 |
Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.
| זכרני יהוה ברצון עמך פקדני בישועתך׃ | 4 |
Remember me, YHWH, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
| לראות בטובת בחיריך לשמח בשמחת גויך להתהלל עם נחלתך׃ | 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.
| חטאנו עם אבותינו העוינו הרשענו׃ | 6 |
We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
| אבותינו במצרים לא השכילו נפלאותיך לא זכרו את רב חסדיך וימרו על ים בים סוף׃ | 7 |
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.
| ויושיעם למען שמו להודיע את גבורתו׃ | 8 |
Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
| ויגער בים סוף ויחרב ויוליכם בתהמות כמדבר׃ | 9 |
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
| ויושיעם מיד שונא ויגאלם מיד אויב׃ | 10 |
He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
| ויכסו מים צריהם אחד מהם לא נותר׃ | 11 |
The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
| ויאמינו בדבריו ישירו תהלתו׃ | 12 |
Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
| מהרו שכחו מעשיו לא חכו לעצתו׃ | 13 |
They soon forgot his works. They did not wait for his counsel,
| ויתאוו תאוה במדבר וינסו אל בישימון׃ | 14 |
but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
| ויתן להם שאלתם וישלח רזון בנפשם׃ | 15 |
He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
| ויקנאו למשה במחנה לאהרן קדוש יהוה׃ | 16 |
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, YHWH's holy one.
| תפתח ארץ ותבלע דתן ותכס על עדת אבירם׃ | 17 |
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
| ותבער אש בעדתם להבה תלהט רשעים׃ | 18 |
A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
| יעשו עגל בחרב וישתחוו למסכה׃ | 19 |
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
| וימירו את כבודם בתבנית שור אכל עשב׃ | 20 |
Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
| שכחו אל מושיעם עשה גדלות במצרים׃ | 21 |
They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
| נפלאות בארץ חם נוראות על ים סוף׃ | 22 |
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
| ויאמר להשמידם לולי משה בחירו עמד בפרץ לפניו להשיב חמתו מהשחית׃ | 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.
| וימאסו בארץ חמדה לא האמינו לדברו׃ | 24 |
Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They did not believe his word,
| וירגנו באהליהם לא שמעו בקול יהוה׃ | 25 |
but murmured in their tents, and did not listen to YHWH's voice.
| וישא ידו להם להפיל אותם במדבר׃ | 26 |
Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
| ולהפיל זרעם בגוים ולזרותם בארצות׃ | 27 |
and that he would make their offspring fall among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
| ויצמדו לבעל פעור ויאכלו זבחי מתים׃ | 28 |
They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
| ויכעיסו במעלליהם ותפרץ בם מגפה׃ | 29 |
Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
| ויעמד פינחס ויפלל ותעצר המגפה׃ | 30 |
Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
| ותחשב לו לצדקה לדר ודר עד עולם׃ | 31 |
That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
| ויקציפו על מי מריבה וירע למשה בעבורם׃ | 32 |
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
| כי המרו את רוחו ויבטא בשפתיו׃ | 33 |
because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
| לא השמידו את העמים אשר אמר יהוה להם׃ | 34 |
They did not destroy the peoples, as YHWH commanded them,
| ויתערבו בגוים וילמדו מעשיהם׃ | 35 |
but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.
| ויעבדו את עצביהם ויהיו להם למוקש׃ | 36 |
They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
| ויזבחו את בניהם ואת בנותיהם לשדים׃ | 37 |
Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
| וישפכו דם נקי דם בניהם ובנותיהם אשר זבחו לעצבי כנען ותחנף הארץ בדמים׃ | 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.
| ויטמאו במעשיהם ויזנו במעלליהם׃ | 39 |
Thus were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
| ויחר אף יהוה בעמו ויתעב את נחלתו׃ | 40 |
Therefore YHWH burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
| ויתנם ביד גוים וימשלו בהם שנאיהם׃ | 41 |
He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
| וילחצום אויביהם ויכנעו תחת ידם׃ | 42 |
Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
| פעמים רבות יצילם והמה ימרו בעצתם וימכו בעונם׃ | 43 |
Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
| וירא בצר להם בשמעו את רנתם׃ | 44 |
Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
| ויזכר להם בריתו וינחם כרב חסדו׃ | 45 |
He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
| ויתן אותם לרחמים לפני כל שוביהם׃ | 46 |
He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
| הושיענו יהוה אלהינו וקבצנו מן הגוים להדות לשם קדשך להשתבח בתהלתך׃ | 47 |
Save us, YHWH, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.
| ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מן העולם ועד העולם ואמר כל העם אמן הללו יה׃ | 48 |
Blessed be YHWH, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen." Praise JAH.
