Psalms 106 — LSV
106Verse 1Praise YAH, give thanks to YHWH, for [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!Verse 2Who utters the mighty acts of YHWH? Sounds all His praise?Verse 3O the blessedness of those keeping judgment, || Doing righteousness at all times.Verse 4Remember me, O YHWH, || With the favor of Your people, || Look after me in Your salvation.Verse 5To look on the good of Your chosen ones, || To rejoice in the joy of Your nation, || To boast myself with Your inheritance.Verse 6We have sinned with our fathers, || We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.Verse 7Our fathers in Egypt, || Have not considered wisely Your wonders, || They have not remembered || The abundance of Your kind acts, || And provoke by the sea, at the Sea of Suph.Verse 8And He saves them for His Name’s sake, || To make His might known,Verse 9And rebukes the Sea of Suph, and it is dried up, || And causes them to go || Through depths as a wilderness.Verse 10And He saves them from the hand || Of him who is hating, || And redeems them from the hand of the enemy.Verse 11And waters cover their adversaries, || One of them has not been left.Verse 12And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,Verse 13They have hurried—forgotten His works, || They have not waited for His counsel.Verse 14And they lust greatly in a wilderness, || And try God in a desert.Verse 15And He gives to them their request, || And sends leanness into their soul.Verse 16And they are envious of Moses in the camp, || Of Aaron, YHWH’s holy one.Verse 17Earth opens, and swallows up Dathan, || And covers over the company of Abiram.Verse 18And fire burns among their company, || A flame sets the wicked on fire.Verse 19They make a calf in Horeb, || And bow themselves to a molten image,Verse 20And change their glory || Into the form of an ox eating herbs.Verse 21They have forgotten God their Savior, || The doer of great things in Egypt,Verse 22Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, || Of fearful things by the Sea of Suph.Verse 23And He commands to destroy them, || Unless Moses, His chosen one, || Had stood in the breach before Him, || To turn back His wrath from destroying.Verse 24And they kick against the desirable land, || They have not given credence to His word.Verse 25And they murmur in their tents, || They have not listened to the voice of YHWH.Verse 26And He lifts up His hand to them, || To cause them to fall in a wilderness,Verse 27And to cause their seed to fall among nations, || And to scatter them through lands.Verse 28And they are coupled to Ba‘al-Peor, || And eat the sacrifices of the dead,Verse 29And they provoke to anger by their actions, || And a plague breaks forth on them,Verse 30And Phinehas stands, and executes judgment, || And the plague is restrained,Verse 31And it is reckoned to him for righteousness, || From generation to generation—for all time.Verse 32And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, || And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,Verse 33For they have provoked his spirit, || And he speaks wrongfully with his lips.Verse 34They have not destroyed the peoples, || As YHWH had commanded to them,Verse 35And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,Verse 36And serve their idols, || And they are for a snare to them.Verse 37And they sacrifice their sons and their daughters to the demons,Verse 38And 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.Verse 39And they are defiled with their works, || And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.Verse 40And the anger of YHWH || Is kindled against His people, || And He detests His inheritance.Verse 41And gives them into the hand of nations, || And those hating them rule over them,Verse 42And their enemies oppress them, || And they are humbled under their hand.Verse 43He delivers them many times, || And they rebel in their counsel, || And they are brought low in their iniquity.Verse 44And He looks on their distress || When He hears their cry,Verse 45And remembers His covenant for them, || And is comforted, || According to the abundance of His kindness.Verse 46And He appoints them for mercies || Before all their captors.Verse 47Save us, O our God YHWH, and gather us from the nations, || To give thanks to Your Holy Name, || To glory in Your praise.Verse 48Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, || From age until age. And all the people said, “Amen, praise YAH!”
