Tehillim, starting at chapter 106
Psalm 106
{106:1} Praise the LORD!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
For his lovingkindness endures forever.
{106:2} Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD,
Or fully declare all his praise?
{106:3} Blessed are those who keep justice,
He who does righteousness at all times.
{106:4} Remember me, LORD, with the favor that you show to your people.
Visit me with your [1>]yeshu`ah[<1],
{106:5} That I may see the prosperity of your chosen,
That I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
That I may glory with your inheritance.
{106:6} We have sinned with our fathers.
We have committed iniquity.
We have done wickedly.
{106:7} Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Mitzrayim.
They didn't remember the multitude of your lovingkindnesses,
But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Sea of Suf.
{106:8} Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake,
That he might make his mighty power known.
{106:9} He rebuked the Sea of Suf also, and it was dried up;
So he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
{106:10} He saved them from the hand of him who hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
{106:11} The waters covered their adversaries.
There was not one of them left.
{106:12} Then they believed his words.
They sang his praise.
{106:13} They soon forgot his works.
They didn't wait for his counsel,
{106:14} But gave in to craving in the desert,
And tested God in the wasteland.
{106:15} He gave them their request,
But sent leanness into their soul.
{106:16} They envied Moshe also in the camp,
And Aharon, the LORD's holy one.
{106:17} The [2>]eretz[<2] opened and swallowed up Datan,
And covered the company of Aviram.
{106:18} A fire was kindled in their company.
The flame burned up the wicked.
{106:19} They made a calf in Horev,
And worshiped a molten image.
{106:20} Thus they exchanged their glory
For an image of a bull that eats grass.
{106:21} They forgot God, their Savior,
Who had done great things in Mitzrayim,
{106:22} Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
And awesome things by the Sea of Suf.
{106:23} Therefore he said that he would destroy them,
Had Moshe, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach,
To turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.
{106:24} Yes, they despised the pleasant land.
They didn't believe his word,
{106:25} But murmured in their tents,
And didn't listen to the voice of the LORD.
{106:26} Therefore he swore to them
That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
{106:27} That he would overthrow their seed among the nations,
And scatter them in the lands.
{106:28} They joined themselves also to Ba`al-Pe`or,
And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
{106:29} Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds.
The plague broke in on them.
{106:30} Then Pinechas stood up, and executed judgment,
So the plague was stopped.
{106:31} That was credited to him for righteousness,
To all generations forevermore.
{106:32} They angered him also at the waters of Merivah,
So that Moshe was troubled for their sakes;
{106:33} Because they were rebellious against his spirit,
He spoke rashly with his lips.
{106:34} They didn't destroy the peoples,
As the LORD commanded them,
{106:35} But mixed themselves with the nations,
Learned their works.
{106:36} They served their idols,
Which became a snare to them.
{106:37} Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
{106:38} They shed innocent blood,
Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Kana`an.
The land was polluted with blood.
{106:39} Thus were they defiled with their works,
And prostituted themselves in their deeds.
{106:40} Therefore the wrath of the LORD was kindled against his
people.
He abhorred his inheritance.
{106:41} He gave them into the hand of the nations.
Those who hated them ruled over them.
{106:42} Their enemies also oppressed them.
They were brought into subjection under their hand.
{106:43} Many times he delivered them,
But they were rebellious in their counsel,
And were brought low in their iniquity.
{106:44} Nevertheless he regarded their distress,
When he heard their cry.
{106:45} He remembered for them his covenant,
And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.
{106:46} He made them also to be pitied
By all those who carried them captive.
{106:47} Save us, LORD, our God,
Gather us from among the nations,
To give thanks to your holy name,
To triumph in your praise!
{106:48} Blessed be the LORD, the God of Yisra'el,
From everlasting even to everlasting!
Let all the people say, "Amein."
Praise the LORD!
BOOK V
Psalm 107
{107:1} Give thanks to the LORD,
For he is good,
For his lovingkindness endures forever.
{107:2} Let the redeemed by the LORD say so,
Whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
{107:3} Gathered out of the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.
{107:4} They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way.
They found no city to live in.
{107:5} Hungry and thirsty,
Their soul fainted in them.
{107:6} Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
And he delivered them out of their distresses,
{107:7} He led them also by a straight way,
That they might go to a city to live in.
{107:8} Let them praise the LORD for his lovingkindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
{107:9} For he satisfies the longing soul.
He fills the hungry soul with good.
{107:10} Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
Being bound in affliction and iron,
{107:11} Because they rebelled against the words of God,
And condemned the counsel of [1>]Ha`Elyon[<1].
{107:12} Therefore he brought down their heart with labor.
They fell down, and there was none to help.
{107:13} Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
And he saved them out of their distresses.
{107:14} He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death,
And broke their bonds in sunder.
{107:15} Let them praise the LORD for his lovingkindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
{107:16} For he has broken the gates of brass,
And cut through bars of iron.
{107:17} Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience,
And because of their iniquities.
{107:18} Their soul abhors all kinds of food.
They draw near to the gates of death.
{107:19} Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble,
He saves them out of their distresses.
{107:20} He sends his word, and heals them,
And delivers them from their graves.
{107:21} Let them praise the LORD for his lovingkindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
{107:22} Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving,
And declare his works with singing.
{107:23} Those who go down to the sea in ships,
Who do business in great waters;
{107:24} These see the LORD's works,
And his wonders in the deep.
{107:25} For he commands, and raises the stormy wind,
Which lifts up its waves.
{107:26} They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths.
Their soul melts away because of trouble.
{107:27} They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man,
And are at their wits' end.
{107:28} Then they cry to the LORD in their trouble,
He brings them out of their distress.
{107:29} He makes the storm a calm,
So that its waves are still.
{107:30} Then are they glad because it is calm,
So he brings them to their desired haven.
{107:31} Let them praise the LORD for his lovingkindness,
For his wonderful works to the children of men!
{107:32} Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people,
And praise him in the seat of the Zakenim.
{107:33} He turns rivers into a desert,
Water springs into a thirsty ground,
{107:34} And a fruitful land into a salt waste,
For the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
{107:35} He turns a desert into a pool of water,
And a dry land into water springs.
{107:36} There he makes the hungry to live,
That they may prepare a city to live in,
{107:37} Sow fields, plant vineyards,
And reap the fruits of increase.
{107:38} He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly.
He doesn't allow their cattle to decrease.
{107:39} Again, they are diminished and bowed down
Through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
{107:40} He pours contempt on princes,
And causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
{107:41} Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction,
And increases their families like a flock.
{107:42} The upright will see it, and be glad.
All the wicked will shut their mouths.
{107:43} Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things.
They will consider the lovingkindnesses of the LORD.
Psalm 108
A Song. A Psalm by David.
{108:1} My heart is steadfast, God.
I will sing and I will make music with my soul.
{108:2} Wake up, harp and lyre!
I will wake up the dawn.
{108:3} I will give thanks to you, LORD, among the nations.
I will sing praises to you among the peoples.
{108:4} For your lovingkindness is great above the heavens.
Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
{108:5} Be exalted, God, above the heavens,
Let your glory be over all the [1>]eretz[<1].
{108:6} That your beloved may be delivered,
Save with your right hand, and answer us.
{108:7} God has spoken from his sanctuary: "In triumph,
I will divide Shekhem, and measure out the valley of Sukkot.
{108:8} Gil`ad is mine. Menashsheh is mine.
Efrayim also is my helmet.
Yehudah is my scepter.
{108:9} Mo'av is my wash pot.
I will toss my sandal on Edom.
I will shout over Peleshet."
{108:10} Who will bring me into the fortified city?
Who has led me to Edom?
{108:11} Haven't you rejected us, God?
You don't go forth, God, with our armies.
{108:12} Give us help against the enemy,
For the help of man is vain.
{108:13} Through God, we will do valiantly.
For it is he who will tread down our enemies.
