Psalm 106
106
1 Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.
2 Let those who have been redeemed by the Lord say so: those whom he redeemed from the hand of the enemy and gathered from the regions,
3 from the rising of the sun and its setting, from the north and from the sea.
4 They wandered into solitude in a waterless place. They did not find the way of the city to be their dwelling place.
5 They were hungry, and they were thirsty. Their soul fainted within them.
6 And they cried out to the Lord in tribulation, and he rescued them in their necessity.
7 And he led them in the right way, so that they might go forth to a city of habitation.
8 Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
9 For he has satisfied the empty soul, and he has satisfied the hungry soul with good things:
10 those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, shackled by extreme poverty and by iron.
11 For they exasperated the eloquence of God, and they irritated the deliberation of the Most High.
12 And their heart was brought low with hardships. They were weakened, and there was no one to help them.
13 And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he freed them from their distress.
14 And he led them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and he broke apart their chains.
15 Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
16 For he has crushed the gates of brass and broken the iron bars.
17 He has taken them up, from the way of their iniquity. For they were brought low, because of their injustices.
18 Their soul abhorred all food, and they drew near even to the gates of death.
19 And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he delivered them in their necessity.
20 He sent his word, and he healed them, and he rescued them from their utter destruction.
21 Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
22 And let them offer sacrifice with the sacrifice of praise, and let them announce his works in exultation.
23 Those who descend to the sea in ships, making their livelihood in the great waters:
24 these have seen the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.
25 He spoke: and a windstorm stood up, and its waves were exalted.
26 They ascend even to the heavens, and they descend even to the abyss. Their soul will waste away in distress.
27 They were troubled, and they moved like a drunkard, and all their wisdom was consumed.
28 And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he led them out of their distress.
29 And he replaced the storm with a breeze, and its waves were stilled.
30 And they were joyful that it was stilled, and he led them into the haven that they desired.
31 Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
32 And let them exalt him in the Church of the people, and praise him in the chair of the elders.
33 He has placed rivers in the desert and sources of water in dry places,
34 a fruit-bearing land in the midst of brine, before the malice of those who dwell in it.
35 He has placed a desert in the midst of pools of waters, and a land without water in the midst of sources of water.
36 And he has gathered the hungry together there, and they constructed a city of habitation.
37 And they sowed fields and planted vineyards, and they produced the fruit of nativity.
38 And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly. And he did not diminish their beasts of burden.
39 And they became few, and they were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and of sorrow.
40 Contempt was poured over their leaders, and he caused them to wander in an impassable place, and not on the way.
41 And he helped the poor out of destitution, and he stationed families like sheep.
42 The upright will see, and they will rejoice. And every iniquity will block its mouth.
43 Who is wise and will keep these things? And who will understand the mercies of the Lord?

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!
