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!

Psalm 106
106
Psalm 106
1Praise the Lord.
Give thanks to the Lord, because he is good.
His faithful love continues forever.
2Who can speak enough about the mighty acts of the Lord?
Who can praise him as much as he should be praised?
3Blessed are those who always do what is fair.
Blessed are those who keep doing what is right.
4 Lord, remember me when you bless your people.
Help me when you save them.
5Then I will enjoy the good things you give your chosen ones.
I will be joyful together with your people.
I will join them when they praise you.
6We have sinned, just as our people of long ago did.
We too have done what is evil and wrong.
7When our people were in Egypt,
they forgot about the Lord’s miracles.
They didn’t remember his many kind acts.
At the Red Sea they refused to obey him.
8But he saved them for the honor of his name.
He did it to make his mighty power known.
9He ordered the Red Sea to dry up, and it did.
He led his people through it as if it were a desert.
10He saved them from the power of their enemies.
He set them free from their control.
11The waters covered their enemies.
Not one of them escaped alive.
12Then his people believed his promises
and sang praise to him.
13But they soon forgot what he had done.
They didn’t wait for what he had planned to happen.
14In the desert they longed for food.
In that dry and empty land they tested God.
15So he gave them what they asked for.
But he also sent a sickness that killed many of them.
16In their camp some of them became jealous of Moses and Aaron.
Aaron had been set apart to serve the Lord.
17The ground opened up and swallowed Dathan.
It buried Abiram and his followers.
18Fire blazed among all of them.
Flames destroyed those evil people.
19At Mount Horeb they made a metal statue of a bull calf.
They worshiped that statue of a god.
20They traded their glorious God
for a statue of a bull that eats grass.
21They forgot the God who saved them.
They forgot the God who had done great things in Egypt.
22They forgot the miracles he did in the land of Ham.
They forgot the wonderful things he did by the Red Sea.
23So he said he would destroy them.
But Moses, his chosen one,
stood up for them.
He kept God’s anger from destroying them.
24Later on, they refused to enter the pleasant land of Canaan.
They didn’t believe God’s promise.
25In their tents they told the Lord how unhappy they were.
They didn’t obey him.
26So he lifted up his hand and promised
that he would make them die in the desert.
27He promised he would scatter their children’s children among the nations.
He would make them die in other lands.
28They joined in worshiping the Baal that was worshiped at Peor.
They ate food that had been offered to gods that aren’t even alive.
29Their evil ways made the Lord angry.
So a plague broke out among them.
30But Phinehas stood up and took action.
Then the plague stopped.
31What Phinehas did made him right with the Lord.
It will be remembered for all time to come.
32By the waters of Meribah the Lord’s people made him angry.
Moses got in trouble because of them.
33They refused to obey the Spirit of God.
So Moses spoke without thinking.
34They didn’t destroy the nations in Canaan
as the Lord had commanded them.
35Instead, they mixed with those nations
and adopted their ways.
36They worshiped statues of their gods.
That became a trap for them.
37They sacrificed their sons and daughters
as offerings to false gods.
38They killed those who weren’t guilty of doing anything wrong.
They killed their own sons and daughters.
They sacrificed them as offerings to statues of the gods of Canaan.
The land became “unclean” because of the blood of their children.
39The people made themselves impure by what they had done.
They weren’t faithful to the Lord.
40So the Lord became angry with his people.
He turned away from his own children.
41He handed them over to the nations.
Their enemies ruled over them.
42Their enemies treated them badly
and kept them under their power.
43Many times the Lord saved them.
But they refused to obey him.
So he destroyed them because of their sins.
44Yet he heard them when they cried out.
He paid special attention to their suffering.
45Because they were his people, he remembered his covenant.
Because of his great love, he felt sorry for them.
46He made all those who held them as prisoners
have mercy on them.
47 Lord our God, save us.
Bring us back from among the nations.
Then we will give thanks to you, because your name is holy.
We will celebrate by praising you.
48Give praise to the Lord, the God of Israel,
for ever and ever.
Let all the people say, “Amen!”
Praise the Lord.
