Tehillim (Psalms) 106
106
1Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks to יהוה, For He is good! For His loving-commitment is everlasting.
2Who does relate the mighty acts of יהוה? Or declare all His praise?
3Blessed are those who guard right-ruling, Who do righteousness at all times!
4Remember me, O יהוה, in the acceptance of Your people; Visit me with Your deliverance,
5To see the good of Your chosen ones, To rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, To make my boast with Your inheritance.
6We have sinned with our fathers, We have acted perversely, We have done wrong.
7Our fathers in Mitsrayim did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember Your many loving-commitments, But rebelled by the sea, the Sea of Reeds.
8But He saved them for His Name’s sake, To make known His might.
9And He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up; And He led them through the depths, Through a wilderness.
10And He saved them from the hand of the hater, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11And waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.
12Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.
13They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,
14But greedily lusted in the wilderness, And tried Ěl in the desert.
15And He gave them their request, But sent leanness within their being.
16And they were jealous of Mosheh in the camp, Of Aharon, the set-apart one of יהוה,
17Then the earth opened up and swallowed Dathan, And covered the company of Aḇiram.
18And a fire burned in their company; A flame consumed the wrong.
19They made a calf in Ḥorĕḇ, And bowed down to a moulded image.
20Thus they changed My esteem Into the form of an ox that eats grass.
21They forgot Ěl their Saviour, The Doer of great deeds in Mitsrayim,
22Of wonders in the land of Ḥam, Of awesome deeds by the Sea of Reeds.
23Then He said that He would destroy them, Had not Mosheh His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath from destroying them.
24They then despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word,
25And they grumbled in their tents, They did not listen to the voice of יהוה.
26So He lifted up His hand in an oath against them, To make them fall in the wilderness,
27And to make their seed fall among the nations, And to scatter them in the lands.
28And they joined themselves to Ba‛al Pe‛or, And ate slaughterings made to the dead.
29Thus they provoked Him with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.
30Then Pineḥas stood up and intervened, And the plague was stopped.
31And that was reckoned to him for righteousness To all generations forever.
32And they provoked wrath at the waters of Meriḇah, And Mosheh suffered on account of them;
33Because they embittered his spirit, And he spoke rashly with his lips.
34They did not destroy the peoples, As יהוה had commanded them,
35But mixed with the nations And learned their works,
36And served their idols, And they became a snare to them.
37And they slaughtered their sons And their daughters to demons,
38And they shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they slaughtered to the idols of Kena‛an; And the land was defiled with blood.
39So they became unclean by their own works, And went whoring by their own deeds.
40And the wrath of יהוה burned against His people, And He loathed His own inheritance.
41Then He gave them into the hand of the nations, And those who hated them ruled over them.
42And their enemies oppressed them, And they were humbled under their hand.
43Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their plans, So they were brought low for their crookedness.
44But He would look on their distress, When He heard their cry,
45And remember His covenant for their sake, And relent according to the greatness of His loving-commitment.
46And He would let them find compassion, Before all those holding them captive.
47Save us, O יהוה our Elohim, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to Your set-apart Name, To exult in Your praise.
48Blessed be יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people shall say, “Amĕn!” Praise Yah!

Tehillim (Psa) 106
106
1Halleluyah!
Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good,
for his grace continues forever.
2Who can express Adonai’s mighty doings
or proclaim in full his praise?
3How happy are those who act justly,
who always do what is right!
4Remember me, Adonai, when you show favor to your people,
keep me in mind when you save them;
5so I can see how well things are going
with those whom you have chosen,
so that I can rejoice in your nation’s joy,
and glory in your heritage.
6Together with our ancestors, we have sinned,
done wrong, acted wickedly.
7Our ancestors in Egypt failed to grasp
the meaning of your wonders.
They didn’t keep in mind your great deeds of grace
but rebelled at the sea, at the Sea of Suf.
8Yet he saved them for his own name’s sake,
to make known his mighty power.
9He rebuked the Sea of Suf, and it dried up;
he led them through its depths as through a desert.
10He saved them from hostile hands,
redeemed them from the power of the foe.
11The water closed over their adversaries;
not one of them was left.
12Then they believed his words,
and they sang his praise.
13But soon they forgot his deeds
and wouldn’t wait for his counsel.
14In the desert they gave way to insatiable greed;
in the wastelands they put God to the test.
15He gave them what they wanted
but sent meagerness into their souls.
16In the camp they were jealous of Moshe
and Aharon, Adonai’s holy one.
17The earth opened up and swallowed Datan
and closed over Aviram’s allies.
18A fire blazed out against that group,
the flames consumed the wicked.
19In Horev they fashioned a calf,
they worshipped a cast metal image.
20Thus they exchanged their Glory
for the image of an ox that eats grass!
21They forgot God, who had saved them,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22wonders in the land of Ham,
fearsome deeds by the Sea of Suf.
23Therefore he said that he would destroy them,
[and he would have,] had not Moshe his chosen one
stood before him in the breach
to turn back his destroying fury.
24Next, they rejected the beautiful land,
they didn’t trust his promise;
25and they complained in their tents,
they didn’t obey Adonai.
26Therefore, raising his hand, he swore to them
that he would strike them down in the desert
27and strike down their descendants among the nations,
dispersing them in foreign lands.
28Now they joined themselves to Ba‘al-P‘or
and ate meat sacrificed to dead things.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds,
so that a plague broke out among them.
30Then Pinchas stood up and executed judgment;
so the plague was checked.
31That was credited to him as righteousness,
through all generations forever.
32They angered him at the M’rivah Spring,
and Moshe suffered on their account;
33for when they embittered his spirit,
[Moshe] spoke up without thinking.
34They failed to destroy the peoples,
as Adonai had ordered them to do,
35but mingled with the nations
and learned to follow their ways.
36They went on to serve their idols,
which became a snare for them.
37They even sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons.
38Yes, they shed innocent blood,
the blood of their own sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to Kena‘an’s false gods,
polluting the land with blood.
39Thus they were defiled by their deeds;
they prostituted themselves by their actions,
40For this Adonai’s fury blazed up against his people,
and he detested his heritage.
41He handed them over to the power of the nations,
and those who hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies oppressed them
and kept them in subjection to their power.
43Many times [God] rescued them,
but they kept making plans to rebel.
Thus they were brought low
by their own wrongdoing.
44Still he took pity on their distress
whenever he heard their cry.
45For their sakes he kept in mind his covenant
and in his limitless grace relented,
46causing them to be treated with compassion
by all who had taken them captive.
47Save us, Adonai our God!
Gather us from among the nations,
so that we can thank your holy name
and glory in praising you.
48Blessed be Adonai, the God of Isra’el,
from eternity past to eternity future.
Now let all the people say,
“Amen! Halleluyah!”
