Psalms 106
1 Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
2 Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise?
Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?
3 Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.
How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,
Remember me, O Yahweh, when thou acceptest thy people, Visit me, with thy salvation;
5 that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.
That I may look upon the welfare of thy chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, That I may glory, with thine inheritance.
6 We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
We have sinned—with our fathers, We have acted perversely, we have committed lawlessness;
7 Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.
Our fathers, in Egypt, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea—at the Red Sea.
8 Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.
Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power;
9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.
So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;
10 He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe;
11 The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.
So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.
12 Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.
They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise.
13 Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.
Soon forgat they his works, —They waited not for his counsel;
14 They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.
But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.
15 So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16 In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, —of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;
17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.
The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;
18 Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked.
Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, —a flame, consumed the lawless ones.
19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped a molten image.
They made a calf in Horeb, —and bowed down to a molten image;
20 They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.
Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21 They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,
They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.
23 So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.
Then would he have bidden to destroy them, —had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.
24 They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.
And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;
25 They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
But murmured in their tents, —They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.
26 So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,
So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;
27 to disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.
28 They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.
Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, —and did eat sacrifices to the dead:
29 So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.
30 But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.
Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:
31 It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.
32 At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.
And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, —And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;
33 For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.
For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them;
35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;
36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare:
37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons;
38 They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.
And poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood-shed;
39 They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.
And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.
40 So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.
Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them;
42 Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.
And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.
43 Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.
Many times, did he rescue them, —But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.
Then looked he on the distress which befell them, —when he heard their loud cry;
45 And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.
Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;
46 He made them objects of compassion to all who held them captive.
And granted them compassion before all their captors.
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.
Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, That we may triumph aloud in thy praise.
48 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!
Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!
