Psalms 106
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Modern Hebrew Bible
1Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
1הללויה הודו ליהוה כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו׃
2Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?
2מי ימלל גבורות יהוה ישמיע כל תהלתו׃
3Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.
3אשרי שמרי משפט עשה צדקה בכל עת׃
4Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;
4זכרני יהוה ברצון עמך פקדני בישועתך׃
5That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.
5לראות בטובת בחיריך לשמח בשמחת גויך להתהלל עם נחלתך׃
6We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.
6חטאנו עם אבותינו העוינו הרשענו׃
7Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
7אבותינו במצרים לא השכילו נפלאותיך לא זכרו את רב חסדיך וימרו על ים בים סוף׃
8Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
8ויושיעם למען שמו להודיע את גבורתו׃
9And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
9ויגער בים סוף ויחרב ויוליכם בתהמות כמדבר׃
10And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
10ויושיעם מיד שונא ויגאלם מיד אויב׃
11And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left.
11ויכסו מים צריהם אחד מהם לא נותר׃
12Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.
12ויאמינו בדבריו ישירו תהלתו׃
13They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel;
13מהרו שכחו מעשיו לא חכו לעצתו׃
14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried God in the desert.
14ויתאוו תאוה במדבר וינסו אל בישימון׃
15And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
15ויתן להם שאלתם וישלח רזון בנפשם׃
16They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.
16ויקנאו למשה במחנה לאהרן קדוש יהוה׃
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
17תפתח ארץ ותבלע דתן ותכס על עדת אבירם׃
18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
18ותבער אש בעדתם להבה תלהט רשעים׃
19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
19יעשו עגל בחרב וישתחוו למסכה׃
20Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
20וימירו את כבודם בתבנית שור אכל עשב׃
21They forgot God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;
21שכחו אל מושיעם עשה גדלות במצרים׃
22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.
22נפלאות בארץ חם נוראות על ים סוף׃
23Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
23ויאמר להשמידם לולי משה בחירו עמד בפרץ לפניו להשיב חמתו מהשחית׃
24Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, they believed not His word;
24וימאסו בארץ חמדה לא האמינו לדברו׃
25And they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
25וירגנו באהליהם לא שמעו בקול יהוה׃
26Therefore He swore concerning them, that He would overthrow them in the wilderness;
26וישא ידו להם להפיל אותם במדבר׃
27And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
27ולהפיל זרעם בגוים ולזרותם בארצות׃
28They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
28ויצמדו לבעל פעור ויאכלו זבחי מתים׃
29Thus they provoked Him with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.
29ויכעיסו במעלליהם ותפרץ בם מגפה׃
30Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
30ויעמד פינחס ויפלל ותעצר המגפה׃
31And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for ever.
31ותחשב לו לצדקה לדר ודר עד עולם׃
32They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses because of them;
32ויקציפו על מי מריבה וירע למשה בעבורם׃
33For they embittered his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.
33כי המרו את רוחו ויבטא בשפתיו׃
34They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them;
34לא השמידו את העמים אשר אמר יהוה להם׃
35But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works;
35ויתערבו בגוים וילמדו מעשיהם׃
36And they served their idols, which became a snare unto them;
36ויעבדו את עצביהם ויהיו להם למוקש׃
37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
37ויזבחו את בניהם ואת בנותיהם לשדים׃
38And 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.
38וישפכו דם נקי דם בניהם ובנותיהם אשר זבחו לעצבי כנען ותחנף הארץ בדמים׃
39Thus were they defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.
39ויטמאו במעשיהם ויזנו במעלליהם׃
40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.
40ויחר אף יהוה בעמו ויתעב את נחלתו׃
41And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them.
41ויתנם ביד גוים וימשלו בהם שנאיהם׃
42Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were subdued under their hand.
42וילחצום אויביהם ויכנעו תחת ידם׃
43Many times did He deliver them; but they were rebellious in their counsel, and sank low through their iniquity.
43פעמים רבות יצילם והמה ימרו בעצתם וימכו בעונם׃
44Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, when He heard their cry;
44וירא בצר להם בשמעו את רנתם׃
45And He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.
45ויזכר להם בריתו וינחם כרב חסדו׃
46He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captive.
46ויתן אותם לרחמים לפני כל שוביהם׃
47Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, that we may triumph in Thy praise.
47הושיענו יהוה אלהינו וקבצנו מן הגוים להדות לשם קדשך להשתבח בתהלתך׃
48Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah.
48ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מן העולם ועד העולם ואמר כל העם אמן הללו יה׃
