Psalm 106

Israel’s Rebelliousness and the Lord’s Help.

11PraiseH1984 2the LordH3050! Oh 3giveH3034 thanksH3034 to the LordH3068, for He 4is goodH2896; For 5His mercyH2617 is everlastingH5769.2WhoH4310 can speakH4448 of the 6mightyH1369 deedsH1369 of the LordH3068, Or can proclaimH8085 allH3605 His praiseH8416?3How blessedH835 are those who maintainH8104 7justiceH4941, 8Who 9practiceH6213 righteousnessH6666 at allH3605 timesH6256!

4RememberH2142 me, LordH3068, in Your 10favorH7522 11toward Your peopleH5971. VisitH6485 me with Your salvationH3444,5So that I may seeH7200 the 12prosperityH2899 of Your chosenH972 onesH972, That I may 13rejoiceH8055 in the joyH8057 of Your nationH1471, That I may 14boastH1984 with Your 15inheritanceH5159.

616We have sinnedH2398 1718likeH5973 our fathersH1, We have goneH5753 astrayH5753, 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 23RedH5488 SeaH3220.8Nevertheless He savedH3467 them 24for the sakeH4616 of His nameH8034, So that He might 25makeH3045 His powerH1369 knownH3045.9So He 26rebukedH1605 the 27RedH5488 SeaH3220 and it 28driedH2717 upH2717, And He 29ledH1980 them through the mightyH8415 watersH8415, as through the wildernessH4057.10So He 30savedH3467 them from the 31handH3027 of 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 planH6098,14But 39becameH183 lustfullyH8378 greedyH183 in the wildernessH4057, And 40putH5254 GodH410 toH5254 theH5254 testH5254 in the desertH3452.15So He 41gaveH5414 them their requestH7596, But 42sentH7971 a 43wastingH7332 diseaseH7332 among them.

16When they becameH7065 44enviousH7065 of MosesH4872 in the campH4264, And of AaronH175, the holyH6918 oneH6918 of the LordH3068,17The 45earthH776 openedH6605 and swallowedH1104 upH1104 DathanH1885, And engulfedH3680 the 46companyH5712 of AbiramH48.18And a 47fireH784 blazedH1197 upH1197 in their 48companyH5712; The flameH3852 consumedH3857 the wickedH7563.

19They 49madeH6213 a calfH5695 in HorebH2722, And worshipedH2331 a castH4541 metalH4541 imageH4541.20So they 50exchangedH4171 their gloryH3519 For the imageH8403 of an oxH7794 that eatsH398 grassH6212.21They 51forgotH7911 GodH410 their SaviorH3467, Who had doneH6213 52greatH1419 thingsH1419 in EgyptH4714,225354WondersH6381 in the landH776 of HamH2526, And awesomeH3372 things by the 55RedH5488 SeaH3220.23Therefore 56He saidH559 that He would destroyH8045 them, If 57MosesH4872, His chosenH972 one, had not stoodH5975 in the gapH6556 beforeH6440 Him, To turnH7725 awayH7725 His wrathH2534 from destroyingH7843 them.24Then they 58rejectedH3988 the 59pleasantH2532 landH776; They 60did not believeH539 His wordH1697,25But 61grumbledH7279 in their tentsH168; They did not listenH8085 to the voiceH6963 of the LordH3068.26Therefore He 6263sworeH5375H3027 to them That He would have them fallH5307 in the wildernessH4057,27And that He would 64bringH5307 downH5307 their 65descendantsH2233 among the nationsH1471, And 66scatterH2219 them in the landsH776.

28They also 67followedH6775 68Baal-peorH1187, And ateH398 69sacrificesH2077 offered to the deadH4191.29So they 70provokedH3707 Him toH3707 angerH3707 with their deedsH4611, And a plagueH4046 brokeH6555 outH6555 among them.30Then PhinehasH6372 71stoodH5975 up and 72intervenedH6419, And so the 73plagueH4046 was broughtH6113 toH6113 aH6113 haltH6113.31And it was 74creditedH2803 to him as righteousnessH6666, To allH1755 generationsH1755 foreverH5704H5769.

32They also 75provokedH7107 Him toH7107 wrathH7107 at the watersH4325 of 76MeribahH4809, So that it 77wentH7489 badlyH7489 for MosesH4872 on their accountH5668.33BecauseH3588 they 78were rebelliousH4784 againstH854 79His SpiritH7307, He spokeH981 rashlyH981 with his lipsH8193.

34They 80did not destroyH8045 the peoplesH5971, As 81the LordH3068 had commandedH559 them,35But 82they gotH6148 involvedH6148 with the nationsH1471 And learnedH3925 their 83practicesH4639,36And 84servedH5647 their idolsH6091, 85Which becameH1961 a snareH4170 to them.37They even 86sacrificedH2076 their sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 to the 87demonsH7700,38And shedH8210 88innocentH5355 bloodH1818, The bloodH1818 of their 89sonsH1121 and their daughtersH1323 WhomH834 they sacrificedH2076 to the idolsH6091 of CanaanH3667; And the landH776 was 90defiledH2610 with the bloodH1818.39So they becameH2930 91uncleanH2930 in their 92practicesH4639, And 9394wereH2181 unfaithfulH2181 in their deedsH4611.

40Therefore the 95angerH639 of the LordH3068 was kindledH2734 against His peopleH5971, And He 96loathedH8581 His 9798inheritanceH5159.41So 99He handedH5414H3027 them overH5414 to the 100nationsH1471, And thoseH1992 who hatedH8130 them ruledH4910 over them.42Their enemiesH340 also 101oppressedH3905 them, And they were subduedH3665 underH8478 their 102powerH3027.43ManyH7227 timesH6471 He would 103rescueH5337 them; They, however, were rebelliousH4784 in their 104planH6098, And they 105sankH4355 downH4355 into their guiltH5771.

44Nevertheless He lookedH7200 at their distressH6862 When He 106heardH8085 their cryH7440;45And He 107rememberedH2142 His covenantH1285 for their sake, And 108109relentedH5162 110according to the greatnessH7230 of His mercyH2617.46He also madeH5414 them 111objects of compassionH7356 In the presenceH6440 of allH3605 their captorsH7617.

47112SaveH3467 us, LordH3068 our GodH430, And 113gatherH6908 us from the nationsH1471, To giveH3034 thanksH3034 to Your holyH6944 nameH8034 And 114gloryH7623 in Your praiseH8416.
