Psalmorum 106
1 Alleluja. [Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in sæculum misericordia ejus.
Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever.
2 Quis loquetur potentias Domini; auditas faciet omnes laudes ejus?
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? [who] can shew forth all his praise?
3 Beati qui custodiunt judicium, et faciunt justitiam in omni tempore.
Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4 Memento nostri, Domine, in beneplacito populi tui; visita nos in salutari tuo:
Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest unto] thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;
5 ad videndum in bonitate electorum tuorum; ad lætandum in lætitia gentis tuæ: ut lauderis cum hæreditate tua.
That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
6 Peccavimus cum patribus nostris: injuste egimus; iniquitatem fecimus.
We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7 Patres nostri in Ægypto non intellexerunt mirabilia tua; non fuerunt memores multitudinis misericordiæ tuæ. Et irritaverunt ascendentes in mare, mare Rubrum;
Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked [him] at the sea, [even] at the Red sea.
8 et salvavit eos propter nomen suum, ut notam faceret potentiam suam.
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 Et increpuit mare Rubrum et exsiccatum est, et deduxit eos in abyssis sicut in deserto.
He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
10 Et salvavit eos de manu odientium, et redemit eos de manu inimici.
And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Et operuit aqua tribulantes eos; unus ex eis non remansit.
And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
12 Et crediderunt verbis ejus, et laudaverunt laudem ejus.
Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
13 Cito fecerunt; obliti sunt operum ejus: et non sustinuerunt consilium ejus.
They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
14 Et concupierunt concupiscentiam in deserto, et tentaverunt Deum in inaquoso.
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
15 Et dedit eis petitionem ipsorum, et misit saturitatem in animas eorum.
And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16 Et irritaverunt Moysen in castris; Aaron, sanctum Domini.
They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the saint of the LORD.
17 Aperta est terra, et deglutivit Dathan, et operuit super congregationem Abiron.
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18 Et exarsit ignis in synagoga eorum: flamma combussit peccatores.
And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19 Et fecerunt vitulum in Horeb, et adoraverunt sculptile.
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
20 Et mutaverunt gloriam suam in similitudinem vituli comedentis fœnum.
Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21 Obliti sunt Deum qui salvavit eos; qui fecit magnalia in Ægypto,
They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
22 mirabilia in terra Cham, terribilia in mari Rubro.
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible things by the Red sea.
23 Et dixit ut disperderet eos, si non Moyses, electus ejus, stetisset in confractione in conspectu ejus, ut averteret iram ejus, ne disperderet eos.
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].
24 Et pro nihilo habuerunt terram desiderabilem; non crediderunt verbo ejus.
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
25 Et murmuraverunt in tabernaculis suis; non exaudierunt vocem Domini.
But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
26 Et elevavit manum suam super eos ut prosterneret eos in deserto:
Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
27 et ut dejiceret semen eorum in nationibus, et dispergeret eos in regionibus.
To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
28 Et initiati sunt Beelphegor, et comederunt sacrificia mortuorum.
They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29 Et irritaverunt eum in adinventionibus suis, et multiplicata est in eis ruina.
Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
30 Et stetit Phinees, et placavit, et cessavit quassatio.
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and [so] the plague was stayed.
31 Et reputatum est ei in justitiam, in generationem et generationem usque in sempiternum.
And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
32 Et irritaverunt eum ad aquas contradictionis, et vexatus est Moyses propter eos:
They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33 quia exacerbaverunt spiritum ejus, et distinxit in labiis suis.
Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34 Non disperdiderunt gentes quas dixit Dominus illis:
They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:
35 et commisti sunt inter gentes, et didicerunt opera eorum;
But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
36 et servierunt sculptilibus eorum, et factum est illis in scandalum.
And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
37 Et immolaverunt filios suos et filias suas dæmoniis.
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
38 Et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem, sanguinem filiorum suorum et filiarum suarum, quas sacrificaverunt sculptilibus Chanaan. Et infecta est terra in sanguinibus,
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.
39 et contaminata est in operibus eorum: et fornicati sunt in adinventionibus suis.
Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40 Et iratus est furore Dominus in populum suum, et abominatus est hæreditatem suam.
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 Et tradidit eos in manus gentium; et dominati sunt eorum qui oderunt eos.
And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Et tribulaverunt eos inimici eorum, et humiliati sunt sub manibus eorum;
Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 sæpe liberavit eos. Ipsi autem exacerbaverunt eum in consilio suo, et humiliati sunt in iniquitatibus suis.
Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
44 Et vidit cum tribularentur, et audivit orationem eorum.
Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
45 Et memor fuit testamenti sui, et pœnituit eum secundum multitudinem misericordiæ suæ:
And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46 et dedit eos in misericordias, in conspectu omnium qui ceperant eos.
He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
47 Salvos nos fac, Domine Deus noster, et congrega nos de nationibus: ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo, et gloriemur in laude tua.
Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.
48 Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, a sæculo et usque in sæculum; et dicet omnis populus: Fiat, fiat.]
Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
