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!

Psalms 106
106
PSALM 106.
1Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
2Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.
3From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.
4They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.
5They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.
6And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
7And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.
8Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
9For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.
11Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:
12And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.
13Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
14And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.
15Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
16Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.
17He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.
18Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
19And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
20He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.
21Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
22And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.
23They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:
24These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
25He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.
26They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.
27They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
28And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.
29And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.
30And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
31Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
32And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
33He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:
34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
35He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.
36And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.
37And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.
38And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
39Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
40Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
41And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.
42The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
43Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
