Psalm 106

Israel’s Rebelliousness and the Lord’s Deliverances.

11PraiseH1984 2the LordH3050! Oh 3giveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068, for He 4is goodH2896; For 5His lovingkindnessH2617 is everlastingH5769.2WhoH4310 can speakH4448 of the 6mightyH1369 deedsH1369 of the LordH3068, Or can showH8085 forth allH3605 His praiseH8416?3How blessedH835 are those who keepH8104 7justiceH4941, 8Who 9practiceH6213 righteousnessH6666 at allH3605 timesH6256!

4RememberH2142 me, O LordH3068, in Your 10favorH7522 11toward Your peopleH5971; VisitH6485 me with Your salvationH3444,5That I may seeH7200 the 12prosperityH2899 of Your chosenH972 onesH972, That I may 13rejoiceH8055 in the gladnessH8057 of Your nationH1471, That I may 14gloryH1984 with Your 15inheritanceH5159.

616We have sinnedH2398 1718likeH5973 our fathersH1, We have committedH5753 iniquityH5753, we have behavedH7561 wickedlyH7561.7Our fathersH1 in EgyptH4714 did not understandH7919 Your 19wondersH6381; They 20did not rememberH2142 21Your abundantH7230 kindnessesH2617, But 22rebelledH4784 by the seaH3220, at the 23RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220.8Nevertheless He savedH3467 them 24for the sakeH4616 of His nameH8034, That He might 25makeH3045 His powerH1369 knownH3045.9Thus He 26rebukedH1605 the 27RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220 and it 28driedH2717 up, And He 29ledH1980 them through the deepsH8415, as through the wildernessH4057.10So He 30savedH3467 them from the 31handH3027 of the one who hatedH8130 them, And 32redeemedH1350 them from the 33handH3027 of the enemyH340.1134The watersH4325 coveredH3680 their adversariesH6862; Not oneH259 of them was leftH3498.12Then they 35believedH539 His wordsH1697; They 36sangH7891 His praiseH8416.

13They quicklyH4116 37forgotH7911 His worksH4639; They 38did not waitH2442 for His counselH6098,14But 39cravedH183 intenselyH8378 in the wildernessH4057, And 4041temptedH5254 GodH410 in the desertH3452.15So He 42gaveH5414 them their requestH7596, But 43sentH7971 a 44wastingH7332 diseaseH7332 among them.

16When they becameH7065 45enviousH7065 of MosesH4872 in the campH4264, And of AaronH175, the holyH6918 oneH6918 of the LordH3068,17The 46earthH776 openedH6605 and swallowedH1104 up DathanH1885, And engulfedH3680 the 47companyH5712 of AbiramH48.18And a 48fireH784 blazedH1197 up in their 49companyH5712; The flameH3852 consumedH3857 the wickedH7563.

19They 50madeH6213 a calfH5695 in HorebH2722 And worshipedH7812 a moltenH4541 imageH4541.20Thus they 51exchangedH4171 their gloryH3519 For the imageH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatsH398 grassH6212.21They 52forgotH7911 GodH410 their SaviorH3467, Who had doneH6213 53greatH1419 thingsH1419 in EgyptH4714,225455WondersH6381 in the landH776 of HamH2526 And awesomeH3372 things by the 56RedH5488H3220 SeaH3220.23Therefore 57He saidH559 that He would destroyH8045 them, Had not 58MosesH4872 His chosenH972 one stoodH5975 in the breachH6556 beforeH6440 Him, To turnH7725 awayH7725 His wrathH2534 from destroyingH7843 them.24Then they 59despisedH3988 the 60pleasantH2532 landH776; They 61did not believeH539 in His wordH1697,25But 62grumbledH7279 in their tentsH168; They did not listenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068.26Therefore He 6364sworeH5375H3027 to them That He would castH5307 them downH5307 in the wildernessH4057,27And that He would 65castH5307 their seedH2233 among the nationsH1471 And 66scatterH2219 them in the landsH776.

28They 67joinedH6775 themselves also to 68Baal-peorH1187, And ateH398 69sacrificesH2077 offered to the deadH4191.29Thus they 70provokedH3707 Him to angerH3707 with their deedsH4611, And the plagueH4046 brokeH6555 out among them.30Then PhinehasH6372 71stoodH5975 up and interposedH6419, And so the 72plagueH4046 was stayedH6113.31And it was 73reckonedH2803 to him for righteousnessH6666, To allH1755 generationsH1755 foreverH5704H5769.

32They also 74provokedH7107 Him to wrathH7107 at the watersH4325 of 75MeribahH4809, So that it 76wentH7489 hardH7489 with MosesH4872 on their accountH5668;33BecauseH3588 they 77were rebelliousH4784 againstH854 78His SpiritH7307, He spokeH981 rashlyH981 with his lipsH8193.

34They 79did not destroyH8045 the peoplesH5971, As 80the LordH3068 commandedH559 them,35But 81they mingledH6148 with the nationsH1471 And learnedH3925 their 82practicesH4639,36And 83servedH5647 their idolsH6091, 84Which becameH1961 a snareH4170 to them.37They even 85sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to the 86demonsH7700,38And shedH8210 87innocentH5355 bloodH1818, The bloodH1818 of their 88sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323, WhomH834 they sacrificedH2076 to the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667; And the landH776 was 89pollutedH2610 with the bloodH1818.39Thus they becameH2930 90uncleanH2930 in their 91practicesH4639, And 92playedH2181 the harlotH2181 in their deedsH4611.

40Therefore the 93angerH639 of the LordH3068 was kindledH2734 against His peopleH5971 And He 94abhorredH8581 His 9596inheritanceH5159.41Then 97He gaveH5414 them into the handH3027 of the 98nationsH1471, And thoseH1992 who hatedH8130 them ruledH4910 over them.42Their enemiesH340 also 99oppressedH3905 them, And they were subduedH3665 underH8478 their 100powerH3027.43ManyH7227 timesH6471 He would 101deliverH5337 them; They, however, were rebelliousH4784 in their 102counselH6098, And so 103sankH4355 downH4355 in their iniquityH5771.

44Nevertheless He lookedH7200 upon their distressH6862 When He 104heardH8085 their cryH7440;45And He 105rememberedH2142 His covenantH1285 for their sake, And 106107relentedH5162 108according to the greatnessH7230 of His lovingkindnessH2617.46He also madeH5414 them 109objects of compassionH7356 In the presenceH6440 of allH3605 their captorsH7617.

47110SaveH3467 us, O LordH3068 our GodH430, And 111gatherH6908 us from among the nationsH1471, To giveH3034 thanksH3034 to Your holyH6944 nameH8034 And 112113gloryH7623 in Your praiseH8416.
