Psalms 106 — TOJB

106Verse 1Praise Hashem!
O give thanks unto Hashem; for He is tov;
for His chesed endureth l'olam.
^{Verse 2}Who can speak of the gevurot (mighty acts) of Hashem?
Who can show forth all His tehillah (praise)?
^{Verse 3}Ashrei (happy, blessed) are they who are shomrei mishpat,
and he that doeth tzedakah at all times.^{Verse 4}Remember me, Hashem, with the favor that Thou bearest unto Thy people;
O visit me with Thy Yeshu'ah (salvation);
^{Verse 5}That I may see the good of Bechireicha (Thy chosen ones),
that I may rejoice in the simchah of Thy nation,
that I may glory with Thine nachalah (the people of Thy inheritance).^{Verse 6}We have sinned with Avoteinu,
we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
^{Verse 7}Avoteinu had no seichal concerning Thy nifla'ot (wonders) in Mitzrayim;
they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies
but provoked Him at the yam, even at the Yam Suf.
^{Verse 8}Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of Shmo,
that He might make His gevu'rot (mighty power) to be known.
^{Verse 9}He rebuked the Yam Suf also, and it dried up;
so He led them through the tehomot, as through the midbar.
^{Verse 10}And He saved them from the yad of him that hated them,
and He acted to make the go'el redemption from the yad of the oyev (enemy).
^{Verse 11}And the mayim covered their enemies;
there was not echad (one) of them left surviving.
^{Verse 12}Then believed they in His Devarim;
they sang His tehillah.^{Verse 13}Then they hurried, they forgot His ma'asim;
they waited not for His etzah (counsel, advice, wisdom);
^{Verse 14}But lusted exceedingly in the midbar,
and tempted G-d in the desert.
^{Verse 15}And He gave them their she'elah (request);
but sent leanness into their nefesh.^{Verse 16}They envied Moshe also in the machaneh,
and Aharon the kadosh Hashem(Aharon the holy one of Hashem).
^{Verse 17}Eretz opened and swallowed up Datan
and covered over the Adat Aviram (the company of Aviram).
^{Verse 18}And an eish was kindled in their edah (assembly);
the flame burned up the resha'im.^{Verse 19}They made an egel (a calf) in Chorev,
and worshiped a massekhah (molden image).
^{Verse 20}Thus they exchanged their kavod
for a tavnit shor (likeness of an ox) that eateth esev (grass).
^{Verse 21}They forgot G-d their Moshi'a,
Who had done gedolot in Mitzrayim;
^{Verse 22}Nifla'ot (wondrous works) in Eretz Cham,
and nora'ot (awesome things) by the Yam Suf.
^{Verse 23}Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
had not Moshe His bechir (chosen one)
stood before Him in the peretz (breach),
to turn away His wrath, lest He should destroy them.^{Verse 24}Then they despised the eretz chemdah (desirable land);
they believed not His Devar;
^{Verse 25}But murmured in their ohalim,
and paid heed not unto the kol (voice) of Hashem.
^{Verse 26}Therefore⁺He lifted up His yad against them,
that He would overthrow them in the midbar;
^{Verse 27}To make their zera fall also among the Goyim,
and to scatter them among the aratzot (lands).^{Verse 28}They joined themselves also unto Ba'al-Pe'or,
and ate the zivkhei mesim (sacrifices offered to the dead).
^{Verse 29}Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions;
and the magefah (plague) broke out among them.
^{Verse 30}Then stood up Pinchas, and interposed;
and so the magefah (plague) was halted.
^{Verse 31}And that was counted unto him for tzedakah
l'dor vador ad olam.^{Verse 32}They angered Him also at the waters of Merivah,
so that it went ill with Moshe on their account;
^{Verse 33}Because they provoked his ruach
and he⁺spoke unadvisedly with his sfatayim (lips).^{Verse 34}They did not destroy the amim (peoples),
as Hashem commanded them;
^{Verse 35}But they mingled with the Goyim,
and learned their ma'asim (works, customs).
^{Verse 36}And they served their atzabim (idols);
which were a mokesh (snare) unto them.
^{Verse 37}And they sacrificed their banim
and their banot unto shedim (demons),
^{Verse 38}And they shed dahm naki (innocent blood),
even the dahm of their banim and of their banot,
whom they sacrificed unto the atzabei Kena'an (idols of Canaan);
and HaAretz was polluted with blood-guilt.
^{Verse 39}Thus they made themselves tameh with their own ma'asim,
and went a-whoring with their own inventions.^{Verse 40}Therefore was the wrath of Hashem kindled against His people,
insomuch that He abhorred His own nachalah.
^{Verse 41}And He gave them into the yad Goyim;
and they that hated them ruled over them.
^{Verse 42}Their oyevim also oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their yad.
^{Verse 43}Many times did He deliver them;
but they provoked Him with their etzah (counsel),
and so perished in their avon (iniquity).^{Verse 44}Nevertheless He regarded their affliction,
when He heard their rinnah (cry of grief);
^{Verse 45}And He remembered for their sake His Brit,
and relented according to the multitude of His chasadim (lovingkindnesses).
^{Verse 46}He made them also to be pitied with rachamim
by all those that carried them away as captives.^{Verse 47}Hoshieini (save us), Hashem Eloheinu,
and gather us from among the Goyim,
to give thanks unto Thy Shem Kadosh,
and to glory in Thy tehillah (praise).
^{Verse 48}Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel
min haOlam v'ad haOlam;
and let kol HaAm say, Omein.
Praise Hashem!
