Psalms 106

PSALM 106
Israel’s Rebelliousness and the Lord’s Deliverances.
1Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.
2Who can speak of the mighty deeds of the Lord,
Or can show forth all His praise?
3How blessed are those who keep justice,
Who practice righteousness at all times!
4Remember me, O Lord, in Your favor toward Your people;
Visit me with Your salvation,
5That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones,
That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may glory with Your #I.e. peopleinheritance.
6We have sinned like our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.
7Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses,
But rebelled by the sea, at the #Lit Sea of ReedsRed Sea.
8Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of His name,
That He might make His power known.
9Thus He rebuked the #Lit Sea of ReedsRed Sea and it dried up,
And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.
10So He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11The waters covered their adversaries;
Not one of them was left.
12Then they believed His words;
They sang His praise.
13They quickly forgot His works;
They did not wait for His counsel,
14But craved intensely in the wilderness,
And tempted God in the desert.
15So He gave them their request,
But sent a wasting disease among them.
16When they became envious of Moses in the camp,
And of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord,
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
And engulfed the company of Abiram.
18And a fire blazed up in their company;
The flame consumed the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb
And worshiped a molten image.
20Thus they exchanged their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.
21They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done great things in Egypt,
22Wonders in the land of Ham
And awesome things by the #Lit Sea of ReedsRed Sea.
23Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,
To turn away His wrath from destroying them.
24Then they despised the pleasant land;
They did not believe in His word,
25But grumbled in their tents;
They did not listen to the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore He swore to them
That He would cast them down in the wilderness,
27And that He would cast their seed among the nations
And scatter them in the lands.
28They joined themselves also to Baal-peor,
And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
29Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,
And the plague broke out among them.
30Then Phinehas stood up and interposed,
And so the plague was stayed.
31And it was reckoned to him for righteousness,
To all generations forever.
32They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of #Lit strifeMeribah,
So that it went hard with Moses on their account;
33Because they were rebellious against His Spirit,
He spoke rashly with his lips.
34They did not destroy the peoples,
As the Lord commanded them,
35But they mingled with the nations
And learned their practices,
36And served their idols,
Which became a snare to them.
37They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons,
38And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and their daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was polluted with the blood.
39Thus they became unclean in their practices,
And played the harlot in their deeds.
40Therefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against His people
And He abhorred His inheritance.
41Then He gave them into the hand of the nations,
And those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were subdued under their power.
43Many times He would deliver them;
They, however, were rebellious in their counsel,
And so sank down in their iniquity.
44Nevertheless He looked upon their distress
When He heard their cry;
45And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness.
46He also made them objects of compassion
In the presence of all their captors.
47Save us, O Lord our God,
And gather us from among the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name
And glory in Your praise.
48Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
And let all the people say, “Amen.”
Praise the Lord!

Psalms 106
106
1Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness.
2Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?
3O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.
4Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.
5To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.
6We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.
7Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.
8And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,
9And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.
10And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.
11And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.
12And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,
13They have hasted — forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.
14And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.
15And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.
16And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.
17Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.
18And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.
19They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,
20And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.
21They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,
22Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.
23And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.
24And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.
25And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.
26And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,
27And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.
28And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,
29And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,
30And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,
31And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations — unto the age.
32And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,
33For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.
34They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,
35And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,
36And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.
37And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,
38And 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.
39And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.
40And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.
41And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,
42And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.
43Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.
44And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,
45And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.
46And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.
47Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.
48Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, ‘Amen, praise Jah!’
