PSALM 106



Ps 106:1 Hallelujah. / Give thanks to Jehovah, for He is good, / For His lovingkindness is forever.

Ps 106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, / Or declare all His praise?

Ps 106:3 Blessed are those who maintain justice, / Who execute righteousness at all times.

Ps 106:4 Remember me, O Jehovah, with Your favor toward Your people; / Visit me with Your salvation,

Ps 106:5 That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, / That I may rejoice in the joy of Your nation, / That I may glory with Your inheritance.

Ps 106:6 We have sinned with our fathers; / We committed iniquity; we have acted wickedly.

Ps 106:7 Our fathers in Egypt / Did not understand Your wonders; / They did not remember the multitude of Your acts of lovingkindness, / But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

Ps 106:8 But He saved them for His name’s sake, / That He might make His power known.

Ps 106:9 Thus He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; / And He led them through the depths as through the wilderness.

Ps 106:10 And He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, / And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

Ps 106:11 The water then covered their adversaries; / Not one of them was left.

Ps 106:12 Then they believed His words; / They sang His praise.

Ps 106:13 Soon they forgot His works; / They did not wait for His counsel,

Ps 106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, / And tempted God in the desert.

Ps 106:15 And He gave them their request, / But He sent leanness into their soul.

Ps 106:16 And they were jealous of Moses in the camp / And of Aaron, the holy one of Jehovah.

Ps 106:17 The earth opened, and it swallowed up Dathan / And covered the company of Abiram.

Ps 106:18 And a fire burned among their company; / A flame engulfed the wicked.

Ps 106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, / And worshipped a molten image.

Ps 106:20 Thus they exchanged their glory / For the image of an ox that eats grass.

Ps 106:21 They forgot God their Savior, / Who had done great things in Egypt,

Ps 106:22 Wondrous deeds in the land of Ham, / Awesome things by the Red Sea.

Ps 106:23 Therefore He said that He would destroy them, / And would have, had not Moses His chosen one / Stood in the breach before Him / To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

Ps 106:24 Then they despised the pleasant land; / They did not believe in His word;

Ps 106:25 Rather they murmured in their tents; / They did not listen to the voice of Jehovah.

Ps 106:26 Therefore He lifted up His hand and swore to them / That He would make them fall in the wilderness,

Ps 106:27 And that He would make their seed fall among the nations, / And that He would disperse them among the lands.

Ps 106:28 Then they joined themselves to Baal-peor, / And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

Ps 106:29 Thus they provoked Him to anger by their actions, / And the plague broke out among them.

Ps 106:30 Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, / And the plague was stayed;

Ps 106:31 And it has been accounted to him as righteousness / From generation to generation unto eternity.

Ps 106:32 Then they angered Him at the waters of Meribah, / So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;

Ps 106:33 For they rebelled against His Spirit, / And he spoke rashly with his lips.

Ps 106:34 They did not destroy the peoples, / As Jehovah had commanded them;

Ps 106:35 But they mingled themselves with the nations / And learned their practices.

Ps 106:36 And they served their idols, / Which became a snare to them.

Ps 106:37 They also sacrificed their sons / And their daughters to demons,

Ps 106:38 And poured out innocent blood, / The blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; / And the land was polluted with bloodshed.

Ps 106:39 Thus they were defiled by their practices, / And went about as harlots by their actions.

Ps 106:40 And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against His people, / And He abhorred His inheritance.

Ps 106:41 And He gave them over into the hand of the nations: / And those who hated them ruled over them,

Ps 106:42 And their enemies oppressed them, / And they were subdued under their hand.

Ps 106:43 Many times He delivered them, / But they were rebellious in their counsel, / And they were brought low in their iniquity.

Ps 106:44 Yet He regarded their distress / When He heard their cry,

Ps 106:45 And for their sake He remembered His covenant, / And repented according to the multitude of His acts of lovingkindness;

Ps 106:46 And He caused them to find compassion / With all their captors.

Ps 106:47 Save us, O Jehovah our God; / And gather us out of the nations, / That we may give thanks to Your holy name, / That we may glory in Your praise.

Ps 106:48 Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, / From eternity to eternity. / And let all the people say, Amen. / Hallelujah.
