Psalm 106
106
1 PRAISE THE Lord! (Hallelujah!) O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His mercy and loving-kindness endure forever! [I Chron. 16:34.]
2 Who can put into words and tell the mighty deeds of the Lord? Or who can show forth all the praise [that is due Him]?
3 Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are those who observe justice [treating others fairly] and who do right and are in right standing with God at all times.
4 [Earnestly] remember me, O Lord, when You favor Your people! O visit me also when You deliver them, and grant me Your salvation!–
5 That I may see and share the welfare of Your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, that I may glory with Your heritage.
6 We have sinned, as did also our fathers; we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. [Lev. 26:40-42.]
7 Our fathers in Egypt understood not nor appreciated Your miracles; they did not [earnestly] remember the multitude of Your mercies nor imprint Your loving-kindness [on their hearts], but they were rebellious and provoked the Lord at the sea, even at the Red Sea. [Exod. 14:21.]
8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake [to prove the righteousness of the divine character], that He might make His mighty power known.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; so He led them through the depths as through a pastureland. [Exod. 14:21.]
10 And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the [Egyptian] enemy. [Exod. 14:30.]
11 And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left. [Exod. 14:27, 28; 15:5.]
12 Then [Israel] believed His words [trusting in, relying on them]; they sang His praise.
13 But they hastily forgot His works; they did not [earnestly] wait for His plans [to develop] regarding them,
14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness and tempted and tried to restrain God [with their insistent desires] in the desert. [Num. 11:4.]
15 And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their souls and [thinned their numbers by] disease and death. [Ps. 78:29-31.]
16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron [the high priest], the holy one of the Lord. [Num. 16:1-32.]
17 Therefore the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and closed over the company of Abiram. [Num. 16:31, 32.]
18 And a fire broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. [Num. 16:35, 46.]
19 They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a molten image. [Exod. 32:4.]
20 Thus they exchanged Him Who was their Glory for the image of an ox that eats grass [they traded their Honor for the image of a calf]!
21 They forgot God their Savior, Who had done such great things in Egypt,
22 Wonders and miracles in the land of Ham, dreadful and awesome things at the Red Sea.
23 Therefore He said He would destroy them. [And He would have done so] had not Moses, His chosen one, stepped into the breach before Him to turn away His threatening wrath. [Exod. 32:10, 11, 32.]
24 Then they spurned and despised the pleasant and desirable land [Canaan]; they believed not His word [neither trusting in, relying on, nor holding to it];
25 But they murmured in their tents and hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore He lifted up His hand [as if taking an oath] against them, that He would cause them to fall in the wilderness,
27 Cast out their descendants among the nations, and scatter them in the lands [of the earth].
28 They joined themselves also to the [idol] Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices [offered] to the lifeless [gods].
29 Thus they provoked the Lord to anger with their practices, and a plague broke out among them.
30 Then stood up Phinehas [the priest] and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed. [Num. 25:7, 8.]
31 And that was credited to him for righteousness (right doing and right standing with God) to all generations forever.
32 They angered the Lord also at the waters of Meribah, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes; [Num. 20:3-13.]
33 For they provoked [Moses'] spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
34 They did not destroy the [heathen] nations as the Lord commanded them,
35 But mingled themselves with the [idolatrous] nations and learned their ways and works
36 And served their idols, which were a snare to them.
37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons [II Kings 16:3.]
38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with their blood.
39 Thus were they defiled by their own works, and they played the harlot and practiced idolatry with their own deeds [of idolatrous rites].
40 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against His people, insomuch that He abhorred and rejected His own heritage. [Deut. 32:17.]
41 And He gave them into the hands of the [heathen] nations, and they that hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under the hand of their foes.
43 Many times did [God] deliver them, but they were rebellious in their counsel and sank low through their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless He regarded their distress when He heard their cry;
45 And He [earnestly] remembered for their sake His covenant and relented their sentence of evil [comforting and easing Himself] according to the abundance of His mercy and loving-kindness [when they cried out to Him].
46 He also caused [Israel] to find sympathy among those who had carried them away captive.
47 Deliver us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name and glory in praising You.
48 Blessed (affectionately and gratefully praised) be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) [I Chron. 16:35, 36.]

Tehillim 106
106
1Praise Hashem! O give thanks unto Hashem; for He is tov; for His chesed endureth l'olam.
2Who can speak of the gevurot (mighty acts) of Hashem? Who can show forth all His tehillah (praise)?
3Ashrei (happy, blessed) are they who are shomrei mishpat, and he that doeth tzedakah at all times.
4Remember me, Hashem, with the favor that Thou bearest unto Thy people; O visit me with Thy Yeshu'ah (salvation);
5That I may see the good of Bechireicha (Thy chosen ones), that I may rejoice in the simchah of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine nachalah (the people of Thy inheritance).
6We have sinned with Avoteinu, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7Avoteinu had no seichal concerning Thy nifla'ot (wonders) in Mitzrayim; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies but provoked Him at the yam, even at the Yam Suf.
8Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of Shmo, that He might make His gevu'rot (mighty power) to be known.
9He rebuked the Yam Suf also, and it dried up; so He led them through the tehomot, as through the midbar.
10And He saved them from the yad of him that hated them, and He acted to make the go'el redemption from the yad of the oyev (enemy).
11And the mayim covered their enemies; there was not echad (one) of them left surviving.
12Then believed they in His Devarim; they sang His tehillah.
13Then they hurried, they forgot His ma'asim; they waited not for His etzah (counsel, advice, wisdom);
14But lusted exceedingly in the midbar, and tempted G-d in the desert.
15And He gave them their she'elah (request); but sent leanness into their nefesh.
16They envied Moshe also in the machaneh, and Aharon the kadosh Hashem (Aharon the holy one of Hashem).
17Eretz opened and swallowed up Datan and covered over the Adat Aviram (the company of Aviram).
18And an eish was kindled in their edah (assembly); the flame burned up the resha'im.
19They made an egel (a calf) in Chorev, and worshiped a massekhah (molden image).
20Thus they exchanged their kavod for a tavnit shor (likeness of an ox) that eateth esev (grass).
21They forgot G-d their Moshi'a, Who had done gedolot in Mitzrayim;
22Nifla'ot (wondrous works) in Eretz Cham, and nora'ot (awesome things) by the Yam Suf.
23Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moshe His bechir (chosen one) stood before Him in the peretz (breach), to turn away His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
24Then they despised the eretz chemdah (desirable land); they believed not His Devar;
25But murmured in their ohalim, and paid heed not unto the kol (voice) of Hashem.
26Therefore#106:26 in oath He lifted up His yad against them, that He would overthrow them in the midbar;
27To make their zera fall also among the Goyim, and to scatter them among the aratzot (lands).
28They joined themselves also unto Ba'al-Pe'or, and ate the zivkhei mesim (sacrifices offered to the dead).
29Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions; and the magefah (plague) broke out among them.
30Then stood up Pinchas, and interposed; and so the magefah (plague) was halted.
31And that was counted unto him for tzedakah l'dor vador ad olam.
32They angered Him also at the waters of Merivah, so that it went ill with Moshe on their account;
33Because they provoked His Ruach#106:33 Hakodesh and he#106:33 Moshe spoke unadvisedly with his sfatayim (lips).
34They did not destroy the amim (peoples), as Hashem commanded them;
35But they mingled with the Goyim, and learned their ma'asim (works, customs).
36And they served their atzabim (idols); which were a mokesh (snare) unto them.
37And, they sacrificed their banim and their banot unto shedim (demons),
38And they shed dahm naki (innocent blood), even the dahm of their banim and of their banot, whom they sacrificed unto the atzabei Kena'an (idols of Canaan); and HaAretz was polluted with blood-guilt.
39Thus they made themselves tameh with their own ma'asim, and went a-whoring with their own inventions.
40Therefore was the wrath of Hashem kindled against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His own nachalah.
41And He gave them into the yad Goyim; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42Their oyevim also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their yad.
43Many times did He deliver them; but they provoked Him with their etzah (counsel), and so perished in their avon (iniquity).
44Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, when He heard their rinnah (cry of grief);
45And He remembered for their sake His Brit, and relented according to the multitude of His chasadim (lovingkindnesses).
46He made them also to be pitied with rachamim by all those that carried them away as captives.
47Hoshieini (save us), Hashem Eloheinu, and gather us from among the Goyim, to give thanks unto Thy Shem Kadosh, and to glory in Thy tehillah (praise).
48Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel min haOlam v'ad haOlam; and let kol HaAm say, Omein. Praise Hashem!
