Psalms 106
106
1Praise ye Jehovah.
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;
For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
2Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah,
Or show forth all his praise?
3Blessed are they that keep justice,
And he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people;
Oh visit me with thy salvation,
5That 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.
6We have sinned with our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7Our 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.
8Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake,
That he might make his mighty power to be known.
9He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up:
So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11And the waters covered their adversaries;
There was not one of them left.
12Then believed they his words;
They sang his praise.
13They soon forgat his works;
They waited not for his counsel,
14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
And tempted God in the desert.
15And he gave them their request,
But sent leanness into their soul.
16They envied Moses also in the camp,
And Aaron the saint of Jehovah.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
And covered the company of Abiram.
18And a fire was kindled in their company;
The flame burned up the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb,
And worshipped a molten image.
20Thus they changed their glory
For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
21They forgat God their Saviour,
Who had done great things in Egypt,
22Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
And terrible things by the Red Sea.
23Therefore 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.
24Yea, they despised the pleasant land,
They believed not his word,
25But murmured in their tents,
And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.
26Therefore he sware unto them,
That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations,
And scatter them in the lands.
28They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor,
And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings;
And the plague brake in upon them.
30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment;
And so the plague was stayed.
31And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness,
Unto all generations for evermore.
32They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,
So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;
33Because they were rebellious against his spirit,
And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34They did not destroy the peoples,
As Jehovah commanded them,
35But mingled themselves with the nations,
And learned their works,
36And served their idols,
Which became a snare unto them.
37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
38And 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.
39Thus were they defiled with their works,
And played the harlot in their doings.
40Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people,
And he abhorred his inheritance.
41And he gave them into the hand of the nations;
And they that hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43Many times did he deliver them;
But they were rebellious in their counsel,
And were brought low in their iniquity.
44Nevertheless he regarded their distress,
When he heard their cry:
45And he remembered for them his covenant,
And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
46He made them also to be pitied
Of all those that carried them captive.
47Save 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.
48Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,
From everlasting even to everlasting.
And let all the people say, Amen.
Praise ye Jehovah.

Tehillim 106
106
1Praise Hashem! O give thanks unto Hashem; for He is tov; for His chesed endureth l'olam.
2Who can speak of the gevurot (mighty acts) of Hashem? Who can show forth all His tehillah (praise)?
3Ashrei (happy, blessed) are they who are shomrei mishpat, and he that doeth tzedakah at all times.
4Remember me, Hashem, with the favor that Thou bearest unto Thy people; O visit me with Thy Yeshu'ah (salvation);
5That I may see the good of Bechireicha (Thy chosen ones), that I may rejoice in the simchah of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine nachalah (the people of Thy inheritance).
6We have sinned with Avoteinu, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7Avoteinu had no seichal concerning Thy nifla'ot (wonders) in Mitzrayim; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies but provoked Him at the yam, even at the Yam Suf.
8Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of Shmo, that He might make His gevu'rot (mighty power) to be known.
9He rebuked the Yam Suf also, and it dried up; so He led them through the tehomot, as through the midbar.
10And He saved them from the yad of him that hated them, and He acted to make the go'el redemption from the yad of the oyev (enemy).
11And the mayim covered their enemies; there was not echad (one) of them left surviving.
12Then believed they in His Devarim; they sang His tehillah.
13Then they hurried, they forgot His ma'asim; they waited not for His etzah (counsel, advice, wisdom);
14But lusted exceedingly in the midbar, and tempted G-d in the desert.
15And He gave them their she'elah (request); but sent leanness into their nefesh.
16They envied Moshe also in the machaneh, and Aharon the kadosh Hashem (Aharon the holy one of Hashem).
17Eretz opened and swallowed up Datan and covered over the Adat Aviram (the company of Aviram).
18And an eish was kindled in their edah (assembly); the flame burned up the resha'im.
19They made an egel (a calf) in Chorev, and worshiped a massekhah (molden image).
20Thus they exchanged their kavod for a tavnit shor (likeness of an ox) that eateth esev (grass).
21They forgot G-d their Moshi'a, Who had done gedolot in Mitzrayim;
22Nifla'ot (wondrous works) in Eretz Cham, and nora'ot (awesome things) by the Yam Suf.
23Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moshe His bechir (chosen one) stood before Him in the peretz (breach), to turn away His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
24Then they despised the eretz chemdah (desirable land); they believed not His Devar;
25But murmured in their ohalim, and paid heed not unto the kol (voice) of Hashem.
26Therefore#106:26 in oath He lifted up His yad against them, that He would overthrow them in the midbar;
27To make their zera fall also among the Goyim, and to scatter them among the aratzot (lands).
28They joined themselves also unto Ba'al-Pe'or, and ate the zivkhei mesim (sacrifices offered to the dead).
29Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions; and the magefah (plague) broke out among them.
30Then stood up Pinchas, and interposed; and so the magefah (plague) was halted.
31And that was counted unto him for tzedakah l'dor vador ad olam.
32They angered Him also at the waters of Merivah, so that it went ill with Moshe on their account;
33Because they provoked His Ruach#106:33 Hakodesh and he#106:33 Moshe spoke unadvisedly with his sfatayim (lips).
34They did not destroy the amim (peoples), as Hashem commanded them;
35But they mingled with the Goyim, and learned their ma'asim (works, customs).
36And they served their atzabim (idols); which were a mokesh (snare) unto them.
37And, they sacrificed their banim and their banot unto shedim (demons),
38And they shed dahm naki (innocent blood), even the dahm of their banim and of their banot, whom they sacrificed unto the atzabei Kena'an (idols of Canaan); and HaAretz was polluted with blood-guilt.
39Thus they made themselves tameh with their own ma'asim, and went a-whoring with their own inventions.
40Therefore was the wrath of Hashem kindled against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His own nachalah.
41And He gave them into the yad Goyim; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42Their oyevim also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their yad.
43Many times did He deliver them; but they provoked Him with their etzah (counsel), and so perished in their avon (iniquity).
44Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their rinnah (cry of grief);
45And He remembered for their sake His Brit, and relented according to the multitude of His chasadim (lovingkindnesses).
46He made them also to be pitied with rachamim by all those that carried them away as captives.
47Hoshieini (save us), Hashem Eloheinu, and gather us from among the Goyim, to give thanks unto Thy Shem Kadosh, and to glory in Thy tehillah (praise).
48Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel min haOlam v'ad haOlam; and let kol HaAm say, Omein. Praise Hashem!
