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