Psalms 106
106
1Praise Yahweh!
Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
for his loving kindness endures forever.
2Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh,
or fully declare all his praise?
3Blessed are those who keep justice.
Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
4Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people.
Visit me with your salvation,
5that I may see the prosperity of your chosen,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
that I may glory with your inheritance.
6We have sinned with our fathers.
We have committed iniquity.
We have done wickedly.
7Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt.
They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses,
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 known.
9He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up;
so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
10He saved them from the hand of him who hated them,
and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11The waters covered their adversaries.
There was not one of them left.
12Then they believed his words.
They sang his praise.
13They soon forgot his works.
They didn’t wait for his counsel,
14but gave in to craving in the desert,
and tested God in the wasteland.
15He gave them their request,
but sent leanness into their soul.
16They envied Moses also in the camp,
and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18A fire was kindled in their company.
The flame burned up the wicked.
19They made a calf in Horeb,
and worshiped a molten image.
20Thus they exchanged their glory
for an image of a bull that eats grass.
21They forgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and awesome things by the Red Sea.
23Therefore he said that he would destroy them,
had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach,
to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
24Yes, they despised the pleasant land.
They didn’t believe his word,
25but murmured in their tents,
and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.
26Therefore he swore to them
that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations,
and scatter them in the lands.
28They joined themselves also to Baal Peor,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds.
The plague broke in on them.
30Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment,
so the plague was stopped.
31That was credited to him for righteousness,
for all generations to come.
32They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,
so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
33because they were rebellious against his spirit,
he spoke rashly with his lips.
34They didn’t destroy the peoples,
as Yahweh commanded them,
35but mixed themselves with the nations,
and learned their works.
36They served their idols,
which became a snare to them.
37Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38They shed innocent blood,
even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.
The land was polluted with blood.
39Thus they were defiled with their works,
and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
40Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people.
He abhorred his inheritance.
41He gave them into the hand of the nations.
Those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies also oppressed them.
They were brought into subjection under their hand.
43He rescued them many times,
but they were rebellious in their counsel,
and were brought low in their iniquity.
44Nevertheless he regarded their distress,
when he heard their cry.
45He remembered for them his covenant,
and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
46He made them also to be pitied
by all those who carried them captive.
47Save us, Yahweh, our God,
gather us from among the nations,
to give thanks to your holy name,
to triumph in your praise!
48Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
from everlasting even to everlasting!
Let all the people say, “Amen.”
Praise Yah!

PSALM 106
1Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever. 2Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? who can shew forth all his praise? 3Blessed are they that keep justice, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. 4Remember me, O Jehovah, with thy favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation: 5That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy 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 in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea. 8Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might. 9And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps 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 oppressors: there was not one of them left. 12Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
13They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel: 14And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted ·God#GodHebrew: El in the desert. 15Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul. 16And they envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron, the saint of Jehovah. 17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram; 18And fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked. 19They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image; 20And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 21They forgot ·God#GodHebrew: El their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt, 22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea. 23And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy them. 24And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word, 25But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah. 26And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness; 27And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries. 28And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead; 29And they provoked him to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them. 30Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed; 31And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore. 32And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account; 33For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
34They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them; 35But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works; 36And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them: 37And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons, 38And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood. 39And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings. 40Then was the anger 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: 42And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. 43Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity. 44But he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry; 45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses; 46And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives. 47Save us, Jehovah our God#GodHebrew: Elohim 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#GodHebrew: Elohim of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!
