Chapter 106

1


 

  Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his lovingkindness endures forever.  

 

 

-

2


 

  Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, Or fully declare all his praise?  

 

 

-

3


 

  Blessed are those who keep justice, He who does righteousness 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 lovingkindnesses, 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 worshipped 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 the voice of Yahweh.  

 

 

-

26


 

  Therefore he swore to them That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,  

 

 

-

27


 

  That he would overthrow their seed 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, To all generations forevermore.  

 

 

-

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 mingled themselves with the nations, 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 were they defiled with their works, And prostituted themselves in their deeds.  

 

 

-

40


 

  Therefore the wrath of Yahweh was kindled 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


 

  Many times he delivered them, 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 lovingkindnesses.  

 

 

-

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! BOOK V Psalm 107
