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!

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?
