< Psalms 106 >
1 Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!
Alleluia. Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus: quoniam in sæculum misericordia eius.
2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?
Quis loquetur potentias Domini, auditas faciet omnes laudes eius?
3 Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise righteousness at all times!
Beati, qui custodiunt iudicium, et faciunt iustitiam in omni tempore.
4 Remember me, O LORD! with the favor promised to thy people; O visit me with thy salvation!
Memento nostri Domine in beneplacito populi tui: visita nos in salutari tuo:
5 That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy people, That I may glory with thine inheritance!
Ad videndum in bonitate electorum tuorum, ad lætandum in lætitia gentis tuæ: ut lauderis cum hereditate tua.
6 We have sinned with our fathers; We have committed iniquity; we have done wickedly.
Peccavimus cum patribus nostris: iniuste egimus, iniquitatem fecimus.
7 Our fathers in Egypt did not regard thy wonders; They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; But rebelled at the sea, the Red sea.
Patres nostri in Ægypto non intellexerunt mirabilia tua: non fuerunt memores multitudinis misericordiæ tuæ. Et irritaverunt ascendentes in mare, Mare rubrum.
8 Yet he saved them for his own name's sake. That he might make his mighty power to be known.
Et salvavit eos propter nomen suum: ut notam faceret potentiam suam.
9 He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up, And he led them through the deep as through a desert.
Et increpuit Mare rubrum, et exiccatum est: et deduxit eos in abyssis sicut in deserto.
10 He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
Et salvavit eos de manu odientium: et redemit eos de manu inimici.
11 The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.
Et operuit aqua tribulantes eos: unus ex eis non remansit.
12 Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.
Et crediderunt verbis eius: et laudaverunt laudem eius.
13 But they soon forgot his deeds, And waited not for his counsel.
Cito fecerunt, obliti sunt operum eius: et non sustinuerunt consilium eius.
14 They gave way to appetite in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert;
Et concupierunt concupiscentiam in deserto: et tentaverunt Deum in inaquoso
15 And he gave them their request, But sent upon them leanness.
Et dedit eis petitionem ipsorum: et misit saturitatem in animas eorum.
16 They also envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
Et irritaverunt Moysen in castris: Aaron sanctum Domini.
17 Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram,
Aperta est terra, et deglutivit Dathan: et operuit super congregationem Abiron.
18 And a fire was kindled in their company; The flames burned up the wicked.
Et exarsit ignis in synagoga eorum: flamma combussit peccatores.
19 They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image;
Et fecerunt vitulum in Horeb: et adoraverunt sculptile.
20 They changed their God of glory Into the image of a grass-eating ox.
Et mutaverunt gloriam suam in similitudinem vituli comedentis fœnum.
21 They forgot God, their saviour, Who had done such great things in Egypt,
Obliti sunt Deum, qui salvavit eos, qui fecit magnalia in Ægypto,
22 Such wonders in the land of Ham. Such terrible things at the Red sea.
mirabilia in Terra Cham: terribilia in mari rubro.
23 Then he said that he would destroy them; Had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, that he might not destroy them.
Et dixit ut disperderet eos: si non Moyses electus eius stetisset in confractione in conspectu eius: Ut averteret iram eius ne disperderet eos:
24 They also despised the pleasant land, And believed not his word;
et pro nihilo habuerunt terram desiderabilem: Non crediderunt verbo eius,
25 But murmured in their tents, And would not hearken to the voice of the LORD.
et murmuraverunt in tabernaculis suis: non exaudierunt vocem Domini.
26 Then he lifted up his hand against them, And swore that he would make them fall in the wilderness;
Et elevavit manum suam super eos: ut prosterneret eos in deserto:
27 That he would overthrow their descendants among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
Et ut deiiceret semen eorum in Nationibus: et dispergeret eos in regionibus.
28 They also gave themselves to the worship of Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to lifeless idols.
Et initiati sunt Beelphegor: et comederunt sacrificia mortuorum.
29 Thus they provoked his anger by their practices, And a plague broke in upon them.
Et irritaverunt eum in adinventionibus suis: et multiplicata est in eis ruina.
30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment, And the plague was stayed.
Et stetit Phinees, et placavit: et cessavit quassatio.
31 And this was counted to him for righteousness, To all generations for ever.
Et reputatum est ei in iustitiam, in generationem et generationem usque in sempiternum.
32 They provoked him also at the waters of Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.
Et irritaverunt eum ad Aquas contradictionis: et vexatus est Moyses propter eos:
33 For they provoked his spirit, So that he spake inconsiderately with his lips.
quia exacerbaverunt spiritum eius. Et distinxit in labiis suis:
34 They did not destroy the nations, As Jehovah had commanded them.
non disperdiderunt gentes, quas dixit Dominus illis.
35 They mingled themselves with the peoples, And learned their practices.
Et commisti sunt inter gentes, et didicerunt opera eorum:
36 They even worshipped their idols, Which became to them a snare.
et servierunt sculptilibus eorum: et factum est illis in scandalum.
37 Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to demons,
Et immolaverunt filios suos, et filias suas dæmoniis.
38 And shed innocent blood, The blood of their own sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
Et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem: sanguinem filiorum suorum et filiarum suarum, quas sacrificaverunt sculptilibus Chanaan. Et infecta est terra in sanguinibus,
39 Thus they defiled themselves with their works, And played the harlot with their practices.
et contaminata est in operibus eorum: et fornicati sunt in adinventionibus suis.
40 Then burned the anger of the LORD against his people, So that he abhorred his own inheritance.
Et iratus est furore Dominus in populum suum: et abominatus est hereditatem suam.
41 And he gave them into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them ruled over them.
Et tradidit eos in manus gentium: et dominati sunt eorum qui oderunt eos.
42 Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.
Et tribulaverunt eos inimici eorum, et humiliati sunt sub manibus eorum:
43 Many times did he deliver them; But they provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.
sæpe liberavit eos. Ipsi autem exacerbaverunt eum in consilio suo: et humiliati sunt in iniquitatibus suis.
44 Yet, when he heard their cries, He had regard to their affliction;
Et vidit cum tribularentur: et audivit orationem eorum.
45 He remembered his covenant with them, And repented according to the greatness of his mercy,
Et memor fuit testamenti sui: et pœnituit eum secundum multitudinem misericordiæ suæ.
46 And caused them to find pity Among all that carried them captive.
Et dedit eos in misericordias in conspectu omnium qui ceperant eos.
47 Save us, O Jehovah, our God! and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks to thy holy name, And glory in thy praise!
Salvos nos fac Domine Deus noster: et congrega nos de Nationibus: Ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo: et gloriemur in laude tua.
48 [Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise ye Jehovah!]
Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel a sæculo et usque in sæculum: et dicet omnis populus: Fiat, fiat.
