106:1  Praise Yah! Oh give thanks to Yahweh, for He is good; For His lovingkindness endures forever.
106:2  Who can speak of the mighty deeds of Yahweh, Or can make all His praise to be heard?
106:3  How blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times!
106:4  Remember me, O Yahweh, in Your favor toward Your people; Visit me with Your salvation,
106:5  That I may see the goodness of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may boast with Your inheritance.
106:6  We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly.
106:7  Our fathers in Egypt did not consider Your wondrous deeds; They did not remember Your abundant lovingkindnesses, But they rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
106:8  Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, That He might make His might known.
106:9  Thus He rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up, And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.
106:10  So He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
106:11  The waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.
106:12  Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.
106:13  They quickly forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,
106:14  But craved intensely in the wilderness, And put God to the test in the wasteland.
106:15  So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease against their lives.
106:16  Then they became envious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of Yahweh,
106:17  The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered up the company of Abiram.
106:18  And a fire burned up in their company; The flame consumed the wicked.
106:19  They made a calf in Horeb And worshiped a molten image.
106:20  Thus they exchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass.
106:21  They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,
106:22  Wondrous deeds in the land of Ham And awesome things by the Red Sea.
106:23  Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him, To turn away His wrath from eradicating them.
106:24  Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe in His word,
106:25  But grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of Yahweh.
106:26  So He swore to them To make them fall in the wilderness,
106:27  And to make their seed fall among the nations And to scatter them in the lands.
106:28  They then joined themselves to Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.
106:29  Thus they provoked Him to anger with their actions, And the plague broke out among them.
106:30  Then Phinehas stood up and interceded, And so the plague was checked.
106:31  And it was counted to him for righteousness, From generation to generation forever.
106:32  They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, So that it went badly with Moses on their account;
106:33  Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.
106:34  They did not destroy the peoples, As Yahweh commanded them,
106:35  But they mingled with the nations And learned their works,
106:36  And served their idols, Which became a snare to them.
106:37  They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons,
106:38  And they shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with the blood.
106:39  Thus they became unclean in their works, And played the harlot in their actions.
106:40  So the anger of Yahweh was kindled against His people And He abhorred His inheritance.
106:41  Then He gave them into the hand of the nations, And those who hated them ruled over them.
106:42  Their enemies oppressed them, And they were subdued under their hand.
106:43  Many times He would deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And so they sank down in their iniquity.
106:44  Nevertheless He looked upon their distress When He heard their cry of lamentation;
106:45  And He remembered for them His covenant, And relented according to the abundance of His lovingkindness.
106:46  He also made them objects of compassion In the presence of all their captors.
106:47  Save us, O Yahweh our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name And revel in Your praise.
106:48  Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. And let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah!
