תהילים 106
| הללויה הודו ליהוה כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו׃ | 1 |
Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
| מי ימלל גבורות יהוה ישמיע כל תהלתו׃ | 2 |
Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?
| אשרי שמרי משפט עשה צדקה בכל עת׃ | 3 |
Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.
| זכרני יהוה ברצון עמך פקדני בישועתך׃ | 4 |
Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,
| לראות בטובת בחיריך לשמח בשמחת גויך להתהלל עם נחלתך׃ | 5 |
That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine 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 understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, 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 to be 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 wilderness.
| ויושיעם מיד שונא ויגאלם מיד אויב׃ | 10 |
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
| ויכסו מים צריהם אחד מהם לא נותר׃ | 11 |
And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.
| ויאמינו בדבריו ישירו תהלתו׃ | 12 |
Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.
| מהרו שכחו מעשיו לא חכו לעצתו׃ | 13 |
They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,
| ויתאוו תאוה במדבר וינסו אל בישימון׃ | 14 |
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.
| ויתן להם שאלתם וישלח רזון בנפשם׃ | 15 |
And 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 the saint of Jehovah.
| 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 |
And 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 worshipped a molten image.
| וימירו את כבודם בתבנית שור אכל עשב׃ | 20 |
Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
| שכחו אל מושיעם עשה גדלות במצרים׃ | 21 |
They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,
| נפלאות בארץ חם נוראות על ים סוף׃ | 22 |
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible 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 not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy [them].
| וימאסו בארץ חמדה לא האמינו לדברו׃ | 24 |
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,
| וירגנו באהליהם לא שמעו בקול יהוה׃ | 25 |
But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.
| וישא ידו להם להפיל אותם במדבר׃ | 26 |
Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
| ולהפיל זרעם בגוים ולזרותם בארצות׃ | 27 |
And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
| ויצמדו לבעל פעור ויאכלו זבחי מתים׃ | 28 |
They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
| ויכעיסו במעלליהם ותפרץ בם מגפה׃ | 29 |
Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.
| ויעמד פינחס ויפלל ותעצר המגפה׃ | 30 |
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.
| ותחשב לו לצדקה לדר ודר עד עולם׃ | 31 |
And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.
| ויקציפו על מי מריבה וירע למשה בעבורם׃ | 32 |
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;
| כי המרו את רוחו ויבטא בשפתיו׃ | 33 |
Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
| לא השמידו את העמים אשר אמר יהוה להם׃ | 34 |
They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,
| ויתערבו בגוים וילמדו מעשיהם׃ | 35 |
But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,
| ויעבדו את עצביהם ויהיו להם למוקש׃ | 36 |
And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.
| ויזבחו את בניהם ואת בנותיהם לשדים׃ | 37 |
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
| וישפכו דם נקי דם בניהם ובנותיהם אשר זבחו לעצבי כנען ותחנף הארץ בדמים׃ | 38 |
And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
| ויטמאו במעשיהם ויזנו במעלליהם׃ | 39 |
Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.
| ויחר אף יהוה בעמו ויתעב את נחלתו׃ | 40 |
Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.
| ויתנם ביד גוים וימשלו בהם שנאיהם׃ | 41 |
And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.
| וילחצום אויביהם ויכנעו תחת ידם׃ | 42 |
Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
| פעמים רבות יצילם והמה ימרו בעצתם וימכו בעונם׃ | 43 |
Many times did he deliver 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 |
And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
| ויתן אותם לרחמים לפני כל שוביהם׃ | 46 |
He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.
| הושיענו יהוה אלהינו וקבצנו מן הגוים להדות לשם קדשך להשתבח בתהלתך׃ | 47 |
Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.
| ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מן העולם ועד העולם ואמר כל העם אמן הללו יה׃ | 48 |
Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.
