Psalms 106

1 The psalmist exhorteth to praise God. 4 He prayeth for pardon of sin, as God did with the fathers. 7 The story of the people's rebellion, and God's mercy. 47 He concludeth with prayer and praise.

 106:1 ¶ Praise ye Yah, Give ye thanks to Yahweh—For he is good, For age-abiding, is his lovingkindness.

 106:2 Who can relate the mighty deeds of Yahweh? can cause to be heard, all his praise?

 106:3 How happy! They who observe justice, He that executeth righteousness at all times.

 106:4 Remember me, O Yahweh, when thou acceptest thy people, Visit me, with thy salvation;

 106:5 That I may look upon the welfare of thy chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, That I may glory, with thine inheritance.

 106:6 ¶ We have sinned—with our fathers, We have acted perversely, we have committed lawlessness;

 106:7 Our fathers, in Egypt, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea—at the Red Sea.

 106:8 Yet he saved them, for the sake of his Name, to make known his mighty power;

 106:9 So he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up, And he led them through deeps, as pasture-land;

 106:10 And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe;

 106:11 So the waters covered their adversaries, Not one from among them, was left.

 106:12 They believed therefore in his words, They sang his praise.

 106:13 ¶ Soon forgat they his works,—They waited not for his counsel;

 106:14 But lusted a lust in the desert, and tested GOD in the waste.

 106:15 So he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

 106:16 And they became jealous of Moses in the camp,—of Aaron the holy one of Yahweh;

 106:17 The earth opened and engulfed Dathan, and covered up the assembly of Abiram;

 106:18 Then was kindled a fire in their assembly,—a flame, consumed the lawless ones.

 106:19 They made a calf in Horeb,—and bowed down to a molten image;

 106:20 Thus changed they my glory, for the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

 106:21 They forgat GOD their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt:

 106:22 Wonders in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.

 106:23 Then would he have bidden to destroy them,—had not Moses his chosen, stood in the breach before him, To turn back his wrath from destroying.

 106:24 And they refused the delightful land, They believed not his word;

 106:25 But murmured in their tents,—They hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh.

 106:26 So he lifted up his hand unto them, that he would let them fall in the desert;

 106:27 And would disperse their seed among the nations, and would scatter them throughout the lands.

 106:28 Yet they let themselves be bound to Baal-peor,—and did eat sacrifices to the dead:

 106:29 So they provoked to anger by their doings, and a plague, made a breach among them.

 106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and interposed, and stayed was the plague:

 106:31 So it was counted unto him, for righteousness, To generation after generation, unto times age abiding.

 106:32 And they provoked by the waters of Meribah,—And it fared ill with Moses, for their sakes;

 106:33 For they embittered his spirit, and he spake rashly with his lips.

 106:34 ¶ They destroyed not the peoples of which Yahweh had spoken to them;

 106:35 But had fellowship with the nations, and learned their doings;

 106:36 Yea they served their idols, and they became to them a snare:

 106:37 Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to mischievous demons;

 106:38 And poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, And the land was polluted with blood-shed;

 106:39 And they became unclean by their works, and became unchaste in their doings.

 106:40 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh with his people, and he abhorred his own inheritance.

 106:41 So he delivered them up into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them, had dominion over them;

 106:42 And their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.

 106:43 Many times, did he rescue them,—But, they, rebelled by their counsel, and sank low in their iniquity.

 106:44 Then looked he on the distress which befell them,—when he heard their loud cry;

 106:45 Then remembered he, for them, his covenant, and was moved to pity, according to the abounding of his lovingkindnesses;

 106:46 And granted them compassion before all their captors.

 106:47 Save us, O Yahweh our God, and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, That we may triumph aloud in thy praise.

 106:48 Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!
