The Psalms
106. fejezet
1. vers
Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
2. vers
Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise?
3. vers
Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
4. vers
Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
5. vers
that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
6. vers
We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
7. vers
Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8. vers
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
9. vers
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
10. vers
He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11. vers
The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
12. vers
Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
13. vers
They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,
14. vers
but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
15. vers
He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16. vers
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.
17. vers
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18. vers
A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
19. vers
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
20. vers
Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
21. vers
They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
22. vers
wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
23. vers
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
24. vers
Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
25. vers
but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.
26. vers
Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27. vers
that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
28. vers
They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29. vers
Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
30. vers
Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
31. vers
That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
32. vers
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
33. vers
because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
34. vers
They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,
35. vers
but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.
36. vers
They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
37. vers
Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38. vers
They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
39. vers
Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
40. vers
Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
41. vers
He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
42. vers
Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
43. vers
He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
44. vers
Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
45. vers
He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
46. vers
He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
47. vers
Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
48. vers
Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah!
