Psalm 106

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Halleluyah! Give thanks to ADONAI; for he is good, for his grace continues forever.

2 Who can express ADONAI's mighty doings or proclaim in full his praise?

3 How happy are those who act justly, who always do what is right!

4 Remember me, ADONAI, when you show favor to your people, keep me in mind when you save them;

5 so I can see how well things are going with those whom you have chosen, so that I can rejoice in your nation's joy, and glory in your heritage.

6 Together with our ancestors, we have sinned, done wrong, acted wickedly.

7 Our ancestors in Egypt failed to grasp the meaning of your wonders. They didn't keep in mind your great deeds of grace but rebelled at the sea, at the Sea of Suf.

8 Yet he saved them for his own name's sake, to make known his mighty power.

9 He rebuked the Sea of Suf, and it dried up; he led them through its depths as through a desert.

10 He saved them from hostile hands, redeemed them from the power of the foe.

11 The water closed over their adversaries; not one of them was left.

12 Then they believed his words, and they sang his praise.

13 But soon they forgot his deeds and wouldn't wait for his counsel.

14 In the desert they gave way to insatiable greed; in the wastelands they put God to the test.

15 He gave them what they wanted but sent meagerness into their souls.

16 In the camp they were jealous of Moshe and Aharon, ADONAI's holy one.

17 The earth opened up and swallowed Datan and closed over Aviram's allies.

18 A fire blazed out against that group, the flames consumed the wicked.

19 In Horev they fashioned a calf, they worshipped a cast metal image.

20 Thus they exchanged their Glory for the image of an ox that eats grass!

21 They forgot God, who had saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

22 wonders in the land of Ham, fearsome deeds by the Sea of Suf.

23 Therefore he said that he would destroy them, [and he would have,] had not Moshe his chosen one stood before him in the breach to turn back his destroying fury.

24 Next, they rejected the beautiful land, they didn't trust his promise;

25 and they complained in their tents, they didn't obey ADONAI.

26 Therefore, raising his hand, he swore to them that he would strike them down in the desert

27 and strike down their descendants among the nations, dispersing them in foreign lands.

28 Now they joined themselves to Ba'al-P'or and ate meat sacrificed to dead things.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds, so that a plague broke out among them.

30 Then Pinchas stood up and executed judgment; so the plague was checked.

31 That was credited to him as righteousness, through all generations forever.

32 They angered him at the M'rivah Spring, and Moshe suffered on their account;

33 for when they embittered his spirit, [Moshe] spoke up without thinking.

34 They failed to destroy the peoples, as ADONAI had ordered them to do,

35 but mingled with the nations and learned to follow their ways.

36 They went on to serve their idols, which became a snare for them.

37 They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

38 Yes, they shed innocent blood, the blood of their own sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to Kena'an's false gods, polluting the land with blood.

39 Thus they were defiled by their deeds; they prostituted themselves by their actions,

40 For this ADONAI's fury blazed up against his people, and he detested his heritage.

41 He handed them over to the power of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.

42 Their enemies oppressed them and kept them in subjection to their power.

43 Many times [God] rescued them, but they kept making plans to rebel. Thus they were brought low by their own wrongdoing.

44 Still he took pity on their distress whenever he heard their cry.

45 For their sakes he kept in mind his covenant and in his limitless grace relented,

46 causing them to be treated with compassion by all who had taken them captive.

47 Save us, ADONAI our God! Gather us from among the nations, so that we can thank your holy name and glory in praising you.

48 Blessed be ADONAI, the God of Isra'el, from eternity past to eternity future. Now let all the people say, "Amen! Halleluyah!"

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

2 Who is able to give an account of the great acts of the Lord, or to make clear all his praise?

3 Happy are they whose decisions are upright, and he who does righteousness at all times.

4 Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;

5 So that I may see the well-being of the people of your selection, and have a part in the joy of your nation, and take pride in your heritage.

6 We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.

7 Our fathers did not give thought to your wonders in Egypt; they did not keep in memory the great number of your mercies, but gave you cause for wrath at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

8 But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.

9 By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.

10 And he took them safely out of the hands of their haters, and kept them from the attacks of those who were against them.

11 And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.

12 Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.

13 But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

14 They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.

15 And he gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease into their souls.

16 They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.

17 The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.

18 And a fire was lighted among their tents; the sinners were burned up by the flames.

19 They made a young ox in Horeb, and gave worship to an image of gold.

20 And their glory was changed into the image of an ox, whose food is grass.

21 They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

22 Works of wonder in the land of Ham, and things of fear by the Red Sea.

23 And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.

24 They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;

25 Talking against him secretly in their tents, they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord.

26 So he made an oath against them, to put an end to them in the waste land:

27 That their children might be mixed among the nations, and sent away into other lands.

28 And they were joined to Baal-peor, and took part in the offerings to the dead.

29 So they made him angry by their behaviour; and he sent disease on them.

30 Then Phinehas got up, and made prayer for them; and the disease went no farther.

31 And all the generations coming after him kept the memory of his righteousness for ever.

32 They made God angry again at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled because of them;

33 For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things.

34 They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said;

35 But they were joined to the nations, learning their works.

36 And they gave worship to images; which were a danger to them:

37 They even made offerings of their sons and their daughters to evil spirits,

38 And gave the blood of their sons and their daughters who had done no wrong, offering them to the images of Canaan; and the land was made unclean with blood.

39 So they became unclean through their works, going after their evil desires.

40 Then the wrath of the Lord was burning against his people, and he was angry with his heritage.

41 And he gave them into the hands of the nations; and they were ruled by their haters.

42 By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.

43 Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.

44 But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

45 And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.

46 He put pity into the hearts of those who made them prisoners.

47 Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.

48 Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.
