Глава 106

  • 1. Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.
  • 2. Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? [who] can shew forth all his praise?
  • 3. Blessed are they that keep justice, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.
  • 4. Remember me, O Jehovah, with [thy] favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation:
  • 5. That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.
  • 6. We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
  • 7. Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.
  • 8. Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.
  • 9. And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.
  • 10. And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
  • 11. And the waters covered their oppressors: there was not one of them left.
  • 12. Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
  • 13. They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:
  • 14. And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted �God in the desert.
  • 15. Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
  • 16. And they envied Moses in the camp, [and] Aaron, the saint of Jehovah.
  • 17. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram;
  • 18. And fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked.
  • 19. They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;
  • 20. And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
  • 21. They forgot �God their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,
  • 22. Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.
  • 23. And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy [them].
  • 24. And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word,
  • 25. But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.
  • 26. And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness;
  • 27. And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.
  • 28. And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;
  • 29. And they provoked [him] to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.
  • 30. Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed;
  • 31. And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.
  • 32. And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;
  • 33. For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
  • 34. They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them;
  • 35. But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works;
  • 36. And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them:
  • 37. And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
  • 38. And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
  • 39. And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings.
  • 40. Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance;
  • 41. And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them:
  • 42. And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
  • 43. Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked [him] by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.
  • 44. But he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry;
  • 45. And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses;
  • 46. And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives.
  • 47. Save us, Jehovah our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.
  • 48. Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!
