Psalm 106
106
The Rebelliousness of Israel
1 #
1 Chr 16.34; 2 Chr 5.13; 7.3; Ezra 3.11; Ps 100.5; 107.1; 118.1; 136.1; Jer 33.11. Praise ye the Lord.
O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good:
for his mercy endureth for ever.
2Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord?
Who can show forth all his praise?
3Blessed are they that keep judgment,
and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
4Remember me, O Lord,
with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people:
O visit me with thy salvation;
5that I may see the good of thy chosen,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation,
that I may glory with thine inheritance.
6We have sinned with our fathers,
we have committed iniquity,
we have done wickedly.
7 #
Exod 14.10-12. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt;
they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies;
but provoked him at the sea,
even at the Red sea.
8Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake,
that he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 #
Exod 14.21-31. He rebuked the Red sea also,
and it was dried up:
so he led them through the depths,
as through the 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 enemies:
there was not one of them left.
12 #
Exod 15.1-21. Then believed they his words;
they sang his praise.
13They soon forgat his works;
they waited not for his counsel:
14 #
Num 11.4-34. but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
and tempted God in the desert.
15And he gave them their request;
but sent leanness into their soul.
16 #
Num 16.1-35. They envied Moses also in the camp,
and Aaron the saint of the Lord.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abi´ram.
18And a fire was kindled in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19 #
Exod 32.1-14. They made a calf in Horeb,
and worshipped the molten image.
20Thus they changed their glory
into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
21They forgat God their saviour,
which had done great things in Egypt;
22wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and terrible things by the Red sea.
23Therefore he said that he would destroy them,
had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach,
to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
24 #
Num 14.1-35. Yea, they despised the pleasant land,
they believed not his word:
25but murmured in their tents,
and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them,
to overthrow them in the wilderness:
27 #
Lev 26.33. to overthrow their seed also among the nations,
and to scatter them in the lands.
28 #
Num 25.1-13. They joined themselves also unto Ba´al–pe´or,
and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions:
and the plague brake in upon them.
30Then stood up Phin´ehas, and executed judgment:
and so the plague was stayed.
31And that was counted unto him for righteousness
unto all generations for evermore.
32 #
Num 20.2-13. They angered him also at the waters of strife,
so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
33because they provoked his spirit,
so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
34 #
Judg 2.1-3; 3.5,6. They did not destroy the nations,
concerning whom the Lord commanded them:
35but were mingled among the heathen,
and learned their works.
36And they served their idols:
which were a snare unto them.
37 #
2 Kgs 17.17. Yea, they sacrificed their sons
and their daughters unto devils,
38 #
Num 35.33. and shed innocent blood,
even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan:
and the land was polluted with blood.
39Thus were they defiled with their own works,
and went a whoring with their own inventions.
40 #
Judg 2.14-18. Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people,
insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen;
and they that hated them ruled over them.
42Their enemies also oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43Many times did he deliver them;
but they provoked him with their counsel,
and were brought low for their iniquity.
44Nevertheless he regarded their affliction,
when he heard their cry:
45and he remembered for them his covenant,
and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46He made them also to be pitied
of all those that carried them captives.
47 #
1 Chr 16.35,36. Save us, O Lord our God,
and gather us from among the heathen,
to give thanks unto thy holy name,
and to triumph in thy praise.
48Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
from everlasting to everlasting:
and let all the people say, Amen.
Praise ye the Lord.

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!”
