Ps 106
0 Psalm 106
1
Praise you YHWH. Oh give thanks to YHWH; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endures]
forever.
2
Who can utter the mighty acts of YHWH, Or show forth all his praise?
3
Blessed are they that keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times.
4
Remember me, O YHWH, with the favor that you bear to your people; Oh visit me
with your salvation,
5
That I may see the prosperity of your chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of
your nation, That I may glory with your inheritance.
6
We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
7
Our fathers understood not your wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude
of your lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8
Nevertheless he saved them for his name`s sake, That he might make his mighty power
to be known.
9
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths,
as through a wilderness.
10
And he saved them from the hand of him whom hated them, And redeemed them from the
hand of the enemy.
11
And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.
12
Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.
13
They soon forgot his works; They waited not for his counsel,
14
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.
15
And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.
16
They envied Moses also in the camp, [And] Aaron the saint of YHWH.
17
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.
18
And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.
19
They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped a molten image.
20
Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eats grass.
21
They forgot God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,
22
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible things by the Red Sea.
23
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before
him in the breach, To turn away his anger, lest he should destroy [them].
24
Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,
25
But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not to the voice of YHWH.
26
Therefore he swore to them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27
And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in
the lands.
28
They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29
Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.
30
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.
31
And that was reckoned to him for righteousness, To all generations for evermore.
32
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for
their sakes;
33
Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spoke unadvisedly with his
lips.
34
They did not destroy the peoples, As YHWH commanded them,
35
But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,
36
And served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
37
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,
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 blood.
39
Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.
40
Therefore was the anger of YHWH kindled against his people, And he abhorred
his inheritance.
41
And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over
them.
42
Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their
hand.
43
Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were
brought low in their iniquity.
44
Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:
45
And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of
his lovingkindnesses.
46
He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.
47
Save us, O YHWH our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to your
holy name, And to triumph in your praise.
48
Blessed be YHWH, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let
all the people say, Amen. Praise you YHWH. BOOK V
