Psalms 106:1-22 ▼

1 Hallelujah! Give thanks to YHWH for He is good, for His loving devotion is forever!

2 Who can describe the mighty acts of YHWH? Who can sound all His praise?

3 Blessed are those guarding justice, doing righteousness at every time.

4 Remember me, O YHWH, in favor to Your people; attend to me with Your salvation,

5 to look on the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and to be glad in the gladness of Your nation, and to glory with Your inheritance.

6 We have sinned, with our fathers; we have been perverse; we have acted wickedly.

7 Our fathers in Egypt did not consider Your wonders; they did not remember the abundance of Your kindness; and they rebelled by the sea—at the Sea of Reeds.

8 And He saved them for the sake of His name, to make known His might.

9 And He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up, and He made them walk through the depths as through a desert.

10 And He saved them from the hand of the one hating, and He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 For the waters covered their enemies; not one of them remained.

12 And they had faith in His words; they sang His praise.

13 They were quick to forget His works; they have not wait for His counsel;

14 and they craved with desire in the wilderness, and they tested God in the desert.

15 And He gave to them their request, and He sent leanness upon their soul.

16 And they were jealous of Moses in the camp, of Aaron, the holy one of YHWH.

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

18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame consumed the wicked.

19 They made a calf in Horeb, and they bowed down to a molten image.

20 And they exchanged their Glory for the image of an ox eating grass.

21 They forgot God their Savior, the One having done great things in Egypt,

22 wonders in the land of Ham, fearful things by the Sea of Reeds.
