Psalms 106 — DBY

106Verse 1Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
^{Verse 2}Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? [who] can shew forth all his praise?
^{Verse 3}Blessed are they that keep justice, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.
^{Verse 4}Remember me, O Jehovah, with [thy] favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation:
^{Verse 5}That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
^{Verse 6}We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
^{Verse 7}Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.
^{Verse 8}Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.
^{Verse 9}And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.
^{Verse 10}And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
^{Verse 11}And the waters covered their oppressors: there was not one of them left.
^{Verse 12}Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
^{Verse 13}They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:
^{Verse 14}And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted^*God in the desert.
^{Verse 15}Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
^{Verse 16}And they envied Moses in the camp, [and] Aaron, the saint of Jehovah.
^{Verse 17}The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram;
^{Verse 18}And fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked.
^{Verse 19}They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;
^{Verse 20}And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
^{Verse 21}They forgot^*God their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,
^{Verse 22}Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.
^{Verse 23}And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy [them].
^{Verse 24}And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word,
^{Verse 25}But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.
^{Verse 26}And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness;
^{Verse 27}And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.
^{Verse 28}And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;
^{Verse 29}And they provoked [him] to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.
^{Verse 30}Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed;
^{Verse 31}And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.
^{Verse 32}And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;
^{Verse 33}For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
^{Verse 34}They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them;
^{Verse 35}But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works;
^{Verse 36}And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them:
^{Verse 37}And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
^{Verse 38}And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
^{Verse 39}And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings.
^{Verse 40}Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance;
^{Verse 41}And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them:
^{Verse 42}And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
^{Verse 43}Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked [him] by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.
^{Verse 44}But he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry;
^{Verse 45}And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses;
^{Verse 46}And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives.
^{Verse 47}Save us, Jehovah our^°God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.
^{Verse 48}Blessed be Jehovah the^°God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!
