Psalms 106

1 Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, is His kindness.⋮

2 Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?⋮

3 O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.⋮

4 Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.⋮

5 To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.⋮

6 We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.⋮

7 Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.⋮

8 And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,⋮

9 And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.⋮

10 And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.⋮

11 And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.⋮

12 And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,⋮

13 They have hasted — forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.⋮

14 And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.⋮

15 And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.⋮

16 And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.⋮

17 Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.⋮

18 And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.⋮

19 They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,⋮

20 And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.⋮

21 They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,⋮

22 Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.⋮

23 And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.⋮

24 And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.⋮

25 And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.⋮

26 And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,⋮

27 And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.⋮

28 And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,⋮

29 And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,⋮

30 And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,⋮

31 And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations — unto the age.⋮

32 And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,⋮

33 For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.⋮

34 They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,⋮

35 And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,⋮

36 And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.⋮

37 And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,⋮

38 And they shed innocent blood — Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.⋮

39 And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.⋮

40 And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.⋮

41 And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,⋮

42 And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.⋮

43 Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.⋮

44 And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,⋮

45 And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.⋮

46 And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.⋮

47 Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.⋮

48 Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, 'Amen, praise Jah!'⋮
