Psalms 106
1 Praise YAH, give thanks to YHWH, for [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!
Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.
2 Who utters the mighty acts of YHWH? Sounds all His praise?
Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?
3 O the blessedness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.
How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.
4 Remember me, O YHWH, With the favor of Your people, Look after me in Your salvation.
Remember me, O Yahweh, when thou acceptest thy people, Visit me, with thy salvation;
5 To look on the good of Your chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Your nation, To boast myself 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 with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.
We have sinned—with our fathers, We have acted perversely, we have committed lawlessness;
7 Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Your wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Your kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the Sea of Suph.
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 And He saves them for His Name’s sake, To make His might known,
Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power;
9 And rebukes the Sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causes them to go Through depths as a wilderness.
So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;
10 And He saves them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeems 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 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them has not been left.
So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.
12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise.
13 They have hurried—forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
Soon forgat they his works, —They waited not for his counsel;
14 And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.
15 And He gives to them their request, And sends leanness into their soul.
So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, YHWH’s holy one.
And they became jealous of Moses in the camp, —of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;
17 Earth opens, and swallows up Dathan, And covers over the company of Abiram.
The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;
18 And fire burns among their company, A flame sets the wicked on fire.
Then was kindled a fire in their assembly, —a flame, consumed the lawless ones.
19 They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
They made a calf in Horeb, —and bowed down to a molten image;
20 And change their glory Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21 They have forgotten God their Savior, The doer of great things in Egypt,
They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:
22 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the Sea of Suph.
Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.
23 And He commands to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.
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 And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;
25 And they murmur in their tents, They have not listened to the voice of YHWH.
But murmured in their tents, —They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.
26 And He lifts up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;
27 And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.
28 And they are coupled to Ba‘al-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor, —and did eat sacrifices to the dead:
29 And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaks forth on them,
So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.
30 And Phinehas stands, and executes judgment, And the plague is restrained,
Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:
31 And it is reckoned to him for righteousness, From generation to generation—for all time.
So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.
32 And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
And they provoked by the waters of Meribah, —And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;
33 For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaks wrongfully with his lips.
For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.
34 They have not destroyed the peoples, As YHWH had commanded to them,
They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them;
35 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;
36 And serve their idols, And they are for a snare to them.
Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare:
37 And they sacrifice their sons and their daughters to the demons,
Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons;
38 And they shed innocent blood—Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned 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 And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.
40 And the anger of YHWH Is kindled against His people, And He detests His inheritance.
Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 And gives them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them;
42 And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.
And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.
43 He delivers them many times, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
Many times, did he rescue them, —But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.
44 And He looks on their distress When He hears their cry,
Then looked he on the distress which befell them, —when he heard their loud cry;
45 And remembers His covenant for them, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;
46 And He appoints them for mercies Before all their captors.
And granted them compassion before all their captors.
47 Save us, O our God YHWH, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Your Holy Name, To 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 [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age until age. And all the people said, “Amen, praise YAH!”
Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!
