The Book of Psalms, Chapter 106תהלים 106

הַֽלְלוּ יָ֨הּ הוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי ט֑וֹב כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ

Praise you YHWH. O give thanks to YHWH; for good: for his mercy for ever.

מִ֗י יְ֭מַלֵּל גְּבוּר֣וֹת יְהוָ֑ה יַ֝שְׁמִ֗יעַ כָּל תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ

Who can utter the mighty acts of YHWH? can shew forth all his praise?

אַ֭שְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵ֣י מִשְׁפָּ֑ט עֹשֵׂ֖ה צְדָקָ֣ה בְכָל עֵֽת

Blessed they that keep judgment, he that doeth righteousness at all times.

זָכְרֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה בִּרְצ֣וֹן עַמֶּ֑ךָ פָּ֝קְדֵ֗נִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ

Remember me, O YHWH, with the favour your people: O visit me with your salvation;

לִרְא֤וֹת בְּט֘וֹבַ֤ת בְּחִירֶ֗יךָ לִ֭שְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַ֣ת גּוֹיֶ֑ךָ לְ֝הִתְהַלֵּ֗ל עִם נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ

That I may see the good of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.

חָטָ֥אנוּ עִם אֲבוֹתֵ֗ינוּ הֶעֱוִ֥ינוּ הִרְשָֽׁעְנוּ

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

אֲב֘וֹתֵ֤ינוּ בְמִצְרַ֨יִם לֹא הִשְׂכִּ֬ילוּ נִפְלְאוֹתֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א זָ֭כְרוּ אֶת רֹ֣ב חֲסָדֶ֑יךָ וַיַּמְר֖וּ עַל יָ֣ם בְּיַם סֽוּף

Our fathers understood not your wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of your mercies; but provoked at the sea, at the Red sea.

וַֽ֭יּוֹשִׁיעֵם לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמ֑וֹ לְ֝הוֹדִ֗יעַ אֶת גְּבוּרָתֽוֹ

Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

וַיִּגְעַ֣ר בְּיַם ס֭וּף וַֽיֶּחֱרָ֑ב וַיּוֹלִיכֵ֥ם בַּ֝תְּהֹמ֗וֹת כַּמִּדְבָּֽר

He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

וַֽ֭יּוֹשִׁיעֵם מִיַּ֣ד שׂוֹנֵ֑א וַ֝יִּגְאָלֵ֗ם מִיַּ֥ד אוֹיֵֽב

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated , and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

וַיְכַסּוּ מַ֥יִם צָרֵיהֶ֑ם אֶחָ֥ד מֵ֝הֶ֗ם לֹ֣א נוֹתָֽר

And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

וַיַּאֲמִ֥ינוּ בִדְבָרָ֑יו יָ֝שִׁ֗ירוּ תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ

Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

מִֽ֭הֲרוּ שָׁכְח֣וּ מַעֲשָׂ֑יו לֹֽא חִ֝כּ֗וּ לַעֲצָתֽוֹ

They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

וַיִּתְאַוּ֣וּ תַ֭אֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וַיְנַסּוּ אֵ֝֗ל בִּֽישִׁימֽוֹן

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָ֑ם וַיְשַׁלַּ֖ח רָז֣וֹן בְּנַפְשָֽׁם

And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

וַיְקַנְא֣וּ לְ֭מֹשֶׁה בַּֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה לְ֝אַהֲרֹ֗ן קְד֣וֹשׁ יְהוָֽה

They envied Moses also in the camp, Aaron the saint of YHWH.

תִּפְתַּח אֶ֭רֶץ וַתִּבְלַ֣ע דָּתָ֑ן וַ֝תְּכַ֗ס עַל עֲדַ֥ת אֲבִירָֽם

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

וַתִּבְעַר אֵ֥שׁ בַּעֲדָתָ֑ם לֶ֝הָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט רְשָׁעִֽים

And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

יַעֲשׂוּ עֵ֥גֶל בְּחֹרֵ֑ב וַ֝יִּשְׁתַּחֲו֗וּ לְמַסֵּכָֽה

They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

וַיָּמִ֥ירוּ אֶת כְּבוֹדָ֑ם בְּתַבְנִ֥ית שׁ֝֗וֹר אֹכֵ֥ל עֵֽשֶׂב

Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

שָׁ֭כְחוּ אֵ֣ל מוֹשִׁיעָ֑ם עֹשֶׂ֖ה גְדֹל֣וֹת בְּמִצְרָֽיִם

They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

נִ֭פְלָאוֹת בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָ֑ם נ֝וֹרָא֗וֹת עַל יַם סֽוּף

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red sea.

וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לְֽהַשְׁמִ֫ידָ֥ם לוּלֵ֡י מֹ֘שֶׁ֤ה בְחִיר֗וֹ עָמַ֣ד בַּפֶּ֣רֶץ לְפָנָ֑יו לְהָשִׁ֥יב חֲ֝מָת֗וֹ מֵֽהַשְׁחִֽית

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 .

וַֽ֭יִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חֶמְדָּ֑ה לֹֽא הֶ֝אֱמִ֗ינוּ לִדְבָרֽוֹ

Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

וַיֵּרָגְנ֥וּ בְאָהֳלֵיהֶ֑ם לֹ֥א שָׁ֝מְע֗וּ בְּק֣וֹל יְהוָֽה

But murmured in their tents, hearkened not to the voice of YHWH.

וַיִּשָּׂ֣א יָד֣וֹ לָהֶ֑ם לְהַפִּ֥יל א֝וֹתָ֗ם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

וּלְהַפִּ֣יל זַ֭רְעָם בַּגּוֹיִ֑ם וּ֝לְזָרוֹתָ֗ם בָּאֲרָצֽוֹת

To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

וַ֭יִּצָּ֣מְדוּ לְבַ֣עַל פְּע֑וֹר וַ֝יֹּאכְל֗וּ זִבְחֵ֥י מֵתִֽים

They joined themselves also to Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

וַ֭יַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶ֑ם וַתִּפְרָץ בָּ֝֗ם מַגֵּפָֽה

Thus they provoked to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

וַיַּעֲמֹ֣ד פִּֽ֭ינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּ֑ל וַ֝תֵּעָצַ֗ר הַמַּגֵּפָֽה

Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and the plague was stayed.

וַתֵּחָ֣שֶׁב ל֭וֹ לִצְדָקָ֑ה לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר עַד עוֹלָֽם

And that was counted to him for righteousness to all generations for evermore.

וַ֭יַּקְצִיפוּ עַל מֵ֥י מְרִיבָ֑ה וַיֵּ֥רַע לְ֝מֹשֶׁ֗ה בַּעֲבוּרָֽם

They angered also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

כִּֽי הִמְר֥וּ אֶת רוּח֑וֹ וַ֝יְבַטֵּ֗א בִּשְׂפָתָֽיו

Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

לֹֽא הִ֭שְׁמִידוּ אֶת הָֽעַמִּ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה לָהֶֽם

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom YHWH commanded them:

וַיִּתְעָרְב֥וּ בַגּוֹיִ֑ם וַֽ֝יִּלְמְד֗וּ מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם

But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

וַיַּעַבְד֥וּ אֶת עֲצַבֵּיהֶ֑ם וַיִּהְי֖וּ לָהֶ֣ם לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ

And they served their idols: which were a snare to them.

וַיִּזְבְּח֣וּ אֶת בְּ֭נֵיהֶם וְאֶת בְּנֽוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם לַשֵּֽׁדִים

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils,

וַיִּֽשְׁפְּכ֨וּ דָ֪ם נָקִ֡י דַּם בְּנֵ֘יהֶ֤ם וּֽבְנוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר זִ֭בְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּ֣י כְנָ֑עַן וַתֶּחֱנַ֥ף הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ בַּדָּמִֽים

And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

וַיִּטְמְא֥וּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּזְנוּ֗ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶֽם

Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

וַיִּֽחַר אַ֣ף יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמּ֑וֹ וַ֝יְתָעֵ֗ב אֶת נַחֲלָתֽוֹ

Therefore was the wrath of YHWH kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

וַיִּתְּנֵ֥ם בְּיַד גּוֹיִ֑ם וַֽיִּמְשְׁל֥וּ בָ֝הֶ֗ם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶֽם

And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

וַיִּלְחָצ֥וּם אוֹיְבֵיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּכָּנְע֗וּ תַּ֣חַת יָדָֽם

Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

פְּעָמִ֥ים רַבּ֗וֹת יַצִּ֫ילֵ֥ם וְ֭הֵמָּה יַמְר֣וּ בַעֲצָתָ֑ם וַ֝יָּמֹ֗כּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָֽם

Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

וַ֭יַּרְא בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם בְּ֝שָׁמְע֗וֹ אֶת רִנָּתָֽם

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

וַיִּזְכֹּ֣ר לָהֶ֣ם בְּרִית֑וֹ וַ֝יִּנָּחֵ֗ם כְּרֹ֣ב חסדו חֲסָדָֽיו

And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

וַיִּתֵּ֣ן אוֹתָ֣ם לְרַחֲמִ֑ים לִ֝פְנֵ֗י כָּל שׁוֹבֵיהֶֽם

He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

הוֹשִׁיעֵ֨נוּ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ֮ מִֽן הַגּ֫וֹיִ֥ם לְ֭הֹדוֹת לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ לְ֝הִשְׁתַּבֵּ֗חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ

Save us, O YHWH our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise.

בָּר֤וּךְ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵ֪י יִשְׂרָאֵ֡ל מִן הָ֤עוֹלָ֨ם וְעַ֬ד הָעוֹלָ֗ם וְאָמַ֖ר כָּל הָעָ֥ם אָמֵ֗ן הַֽלְלוּ יָֽהּ

Blessed YHWH God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise you YHWH.
