Alleluia. 106:1 Give thanks to Yehovah;
for he is good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
106:2 Who shall tell the mighty acts of Yehovah? [who] shall cause all his
praises to be heard?
106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do righteousness at all
times.
106:4 Remember us, O Yehovah, with the favour [thou hast] to thy people: visit
us with thy salvation;
106:5 that we may behold the good of thine elect, that we may rejoice in the
gladness of thy nation, that we may glory with thine inheritance.
106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done
unrighteously.
106:7 Our fathers in Egypt understood not thy wonders, and remembered not
the multitude of thy mercy; but provoked [him] as they went up by the Red
Sea.
106:8 Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might cause his mighty
power to be known.
106:9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: so he led them
through the deep as through the wilderness.
106:10 And he saved them out of the hand of them that hated [them], and
redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy.
106:11 The water covered those that oppressed them: there was not one of
them left.
106:12 Then they believed his words, and celebrated his praise.
106:13 They made haste, they forgot his works; they waited not for his
counsel.
106:14 And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted Elohim in the
dry [land].
106:15 And he gave them their request, and sent fullness into their souls.
106:16 They provoked Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the holy one of the
Yehovah.
106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and closed upon the
congregation of Abiron.
106:18 And a fire was kindled in their congregation, and a flame burnt up
the sinners.
106:19 And they made a calf in Choreb, and worshipped the graven image,
106:20 and they changed their glory into the similitude of a calf that feeds
on grass.
106:21 They forgot Elohim that saved them, who had wrought great deeds in
Egypt;
106:22 wondrous [works] in the land of Cham, and terrible things at the Red
Sea.
106:23 So he said that he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his
chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn [him] away from the
fierceness of his anger, so that he should not destroy them.
106:24 Moreover they set at nought the desirable land, and believed not his
word.
106:25 And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of
Yehovah.
106:26 So he lifted up his hand against them, to cast them down in the
wilderness;
106:27 and to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in
the countries.
106:28 They were joined also to Beelphegor, and ate the sacrifices of the
dead. And they provoked him with their devices;
106:29 and destruction, was multiplied among them.
106:30 Then Phinees stood up, and made atonement: and the plague ceased.
106:31 And it was counted to him for righteousness, to all generations for
ever.
106:32 They provoked him also at the water of Strife, and Moses was hurt for
their sakes;
106:33 for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke [unadvisedly] with his
lips.
106:34 They destroyed not the nations which Yehovah told them [to destroy];
106:35 but were mingled with the heathen, and learned their works.
106:36 And they served their graven images; and it became an offence to
them.
106:37 And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils,
106:38 and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom
they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan; and the land was defiled with
blood.
106:39 and was polluted with their works; and they went a whoring with their
own devices.
106:40 So Yehovah was very angry with his people, and he abhorred his
inheritance.
106:41 And he delivered them into the hands of [their] enemies; and they
that hated them ruled over them.
106:42 Ands their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under
their hands.
106:43 Many a time he delivered them; but they provoked him by their
counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.
106:44 Ye Yehovah looked upon their affliction, when he heard their
petition.
106:45 And he remembered his covenant, and repented according to the
multitude of his mercy.
106:46 And he caused them to be pitied in the sight of all who carried them
captive.
106:47 Save us, O Yehovah our Elohim, and gather us from among the heathen, that
we may give thanks to thy holy name, that we may glory in thy praise.
106:48 Blessed be Yehovah Elohim of Israel from everlasting and to
everlasting; and all the people shall say, Amen, Amen. |
106:1 Praise ye Yehovah. O give
thanks unto Yehovah; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
106:2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Yehovah? who can shew forth all his
praise?
106:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness
at all times.
106:4 Remember me, O Yehovah, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy
people: O visit me with thy salvation;
106:5 That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the
gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
106:6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have
done wickedly.
106:7 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.
106:8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his
mighty power to be known.
106:9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them
through the depths, as through the wilderness.
106:10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed
them from the hand of the enemy.
106:11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
106:12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
106:13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
106:14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted Elohim in the
desert.
106:15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
106:16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of Yehovah.
106:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of
Abiram.
106:18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the
wicked.
106:19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
106:20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that
eateth grass.
106:21 They forgat Elohim their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
106:22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red
sea.
106:23 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.
106:24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
106:25 But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the
Yehovah.
106:26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in
the wilderness:
106:27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them
in the lands.
106:28 They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of
the dead.
106:29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague
brake in upon them.
106:30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was
stayed.
106:31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations
for evermore.
106:32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill
with Moses for their sakes:
106:33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with
his lips.
106:34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom Yehovah commanded
them:
106:35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
106:36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
106:37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
106:38 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their
daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was
polluted with blood.
106:39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with
their own inventions.
106:40 Therefore was the wrath of Yehovah kindled against his people,
insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
106:41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated
them ruled over them.
106:42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into
subjection under their hand.
106:43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their
counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
106:44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
106:45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to
the multitude of his mercies.
106:46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them
captives.
106:47 Save us, O Yehovah our Elohim, and gather us from among the heathen, to
give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
106:48 Blessed be Yehovah Elohim of Israel from everlasting to everlasting:
and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Yehovah. |
