Psalms 106

1 Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can show forth all his praise?

Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?

3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise righteousness at all times!

4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest to thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

Remember me, O LORD! with the favor promised to thy people; O visit me with thy salvation!

5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thy inheritance.

That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy people, That I may glory with thine inheritance!

6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

We have sinned with our fathers; We have committed iniquity; we have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

Our fathers in Egypt did not regard thy wonders; They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; But rebelled at the sea, the Red sea.

8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

Yet he saved them for his own name's sake. That he might make his mighty power to be known.

9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up, And he led them through the deep as through a desert.

10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.

12 Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.

Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.

13 They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:

But they soon forgot his deeds, And waited not for his counsel.

14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

They gave way to appetite in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert;

15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

And he gave them their request, But sent upon them leanness.

16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

They also envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram,

18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

And a fire was kindled in their company; The flames burned up the wicked.

19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image;

20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

They changed their God of glory Into the image of a grass-eating ox.

21 They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

They forgot God, their saviour, Who had done such great things in Egypt,

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

Such wonders in the land of Ham. Such terrible things at the Red sea.

23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

Then he said that he would destroy them; Had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, that he might not destroy them.

24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

They also despised the pleasant land, And believed not his word;

25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not to the voice of the LORD.

But murmured in their tents, And would not hearken to the voice of the LORD.

26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

Then he lifted up his hand against them, And swore that he would make them fall in the wilderness;

27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

That he would overthrow their descendants among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

28 They joined themselves also to Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

They also gave themselves to the worship of Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to lifeless idols.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds: and the plague broke in upon them.

Thus they provoked his anger by their practices, And a plague broke in upon them.

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stopped.

Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment, And the plague was stayed.

31 And that was counted to him for righteousness to all generations for evermore.

And this was counted to him for righteousness, To all generations for ever.

32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

They provoked him also at the waters of Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.

33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

For they provoked his spirit, So that he spake inconsiderately with his lips.

34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

They did not destroy the nations, As Jehovah had commanded them.

35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

They mingled themselves with the peoples, And learned their practices.

36 And they served their idols: which were a snare to them.

They even worshipped their idols, Which became to them a snare.

37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons,

Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to demons,

38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

And shed innocent blood, The blood of their own sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went astray with their own deeds.

Thus they defiled themselves with their works, And played the harlot with their practices.

40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

Then burned the anger of the LORD against his people, So that he abhorred his own inheritance.

41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

And he gave them into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them ruled over them.

42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.

43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

Many times did he deliver them; But they provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.

44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

Yet, when he heard their cries, He had regard to their affliction;

45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

He remembered his covenant with them, And repented according to the greatness of his mercy,

46 He made them also to be pitied by all those that carried them captives.

And caused them to find pity Among all that carried them captive.

47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks to thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

Save us, O Jehovah, our God! and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks to thy holy name, And glory in thy praise!

48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

[Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise ye Jehovah!]
