Psalm 106

Psalm

106 Give thanks to Yahweh; worship him and pray to him.

Tell everyone in the world what he has done!

2 Sing to him; praise him with instruments;

tell others about all of his wonderful miracles!

3 Be proud of Yahweh, who is the holy one.

You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!

4 Ask Yahweh to help you and to make you strong;

always try to be with him!

5-6 5-6You people who are descendants of Yahweh's servant Abraham,

you descendants of Jacob, the people whom Yahweh has chosen,

think about all of the wonderful things that he has done;

he performed miracles, and he proclaimed righteous judgments.

7 He is Yahweh, the God whom we worship.

He rules over people throughout the earth.

8 He never forgets the covenant that he made;

that is, he will maintain what he promised for countless generations.

9 That is the covenant that he made with Abraham,

and that he repeated with an oath to Isaac.

10 Then he repeated it as a reliable covenant with Jacob,

that is, with Israel, and it was a covenant that would last forever.

11 What Yahweh said to them was, “I will give to you the region of Canaan;

that will be what you and your descendants inherit from me.”

12 Yahweh said that to the people of Israel when there were only a few of them.

They were just a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.

13 They continually wandered from one place to another,

living in various kingdoms and people groups.

14 But Yahweh did not allow others to oppress the people of Israel.

On their behalf, he warned kings by saying to them,

15 “Do not harm the people whom I have chosen!

Do nothing bad to my prophets!”

16 Yahweh created a famine in the land of Canaan,

that is, all of the people there had no food to eat.

17 So the people of Israel went to Egypt, but before they went, Yahweh had already sent someone there.

He sent Joseph, whom his brothers had sold to be a slave.

18 Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt,

the guards trapped his feet in shackles,

and they put an iron collar around his neck.

19 Joseph was in prison until the time

when the events that he had predicted happened.

Yahweh spoke to him during this time and taught Joseph to trust him more.

20 The king of Egypt, the ruler of the people, commanded his servants

who went to the prison and set Joseph free.

21 Then the king chose Joseph as the one to decide about everything in the king’s household,

that is, to be in charge of everything that the king possessed.

22 The king permitted Joseph to command the king’s officials

to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do,

and Joseph taught the king’s advisors how to be wise.

23 Later, Joseph’s father Jacob, also called Israel, arrived in Egypt.

He lived like a foreigner in that land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.

24 Over the years, Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous.

As a result, the enemies of the people of Israel considered that the people of Israel were becoming too strong.

25 So Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to hate Yahweh's people,

and they devised ways to oppress his people.

26 But then Yahweh sent his servant Moses

along with Moses’ older brother Aaron, whom Yahweh had also chosen to serve him.

27 Those two performed Yahweh's amazing miracles among the people of Egypt

in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.

28 Yahweh sent darkness so that the land of Egypt was dark,

and Moses and Aaron obeyed what Yahweh told them to do.

29 Yahweh caused all of the water in Egypt to become blood,

which caused all of their fish to die.

30 Then he caused the land to become full of frogs;

the royal family even had frogs in their bedrooms!

31 Then Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of flies descended on the people of Egypt.

Gnats also swarmed across the whole country.

32 Yahweh sent them hail instead of rain,

and he started fires that burned throughout their land.

33 The hail ruined their grapevines, fig trees,

and destroyed all the other trees in their country.

34 Yahweh commanded locusts to come, and hordes of them came of different kinds;

so many came that no one could count them.

35 The locusts ate every green plant in their land,

including all of the crops.

36 Then Yahweh killed every firstborn son, the one who first demonstrated that the man was virile, in every house of the people of Egypt.

37 Then Yahweh brought the Israelite people out from Egypt.

They were carrying many heavy things made of silver and gold that the people of Egypt had given to them,

and yet none of his people stumbled as they went.

38 The people of Egypt were glad when the Israelite people left

because the people of Egypt had become very afraid of the Israelites.

39 Then Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelites;

and at night it became a big fire in the sky to give them light.

40 Then the Israelites asked for meat to eat,

and Yahweh sent flocks of quail to them,

and he gave them plenty of manna bread from the sky each morning.

41 One day Yahweh split open a rock, and water poured out from the opening for the people to drink.

The water became a river flowing in the desert.

42 Yahweh did those things because he continually thought about the sacred promise that he had given to his servant, Abraham.

43 So his people were joyful as Yahweh brought them out from Egypt.

These people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.

44 Then Yahweh gave to the people of Israel the land that had belonged to the people groups that lived there in Canaan.

So the Israelites took over the fields that those peoples had planted.

45 Yahweh did all these things

so that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do.

Praise Yahweh!

Psalm

106 Praise Yahweh!

Thank Yahweh because he is good

and because he faithfully loves us forever!

2 Because Yahweh has done so many great things,

no one can tell all the great things that Yahweh has done,

and no one can praise him enough.

3 How happy are those who act fairly,

always doing what is right!

4 Yahweh, be kind to me when you help your people!

Include me when you rescue them!

5 Allow me to see the people whom you have chosen become prosperous again.

Allow me to be happy with the people of your nation when they become happy again.

Allow me to praise you along with all those others who belong to you.

6 We have sinned just as our ancestors did;

we have done all kinds of evil.

7 Our ancestors did not appreciate the wonderful things that you did when they were in Egypt.

They forgot about the many times that you showed that you faithfully loved them.

Instead, when they were at the Sea of Reeds,

they rebelled against you.

8 Even so, he rescued them because of who he is,

so that he could show that he is very powerful.

9 He rebuked the Sea of Reeds and it became dry.

Then he led our ancestors through it and even the deepest parts were as dry as a desert.

10 In that way he rescued them from their hateful enemies.

11 Then their enemies drowned under the water of the Sea of Reeds;

not one of them remained alive.

12 When that happened, our ancestors believed that Yahweh had truly done for them what he had promised to do,

and they sang to praise him.

13 But they soon forgot what he had done for them;

they did things without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.

14 They intensely wanted certain foods in the wilderness.

They did evil things there that challenged God to punish them.

15 So he gave them what they requested,

but then he made many of them sick so that they died.

16 Later when some of the men in the camp became resentful of Moses

and of his older brother Aaron, who was dedicated to serve Yahweh by being a priest,

17 the ground opened up and Dathan fell into it

and it also buried Abiram and his people.

18 God made a fire start among their people

that burned up all the wicked people who agreed with them.

19 Then the Israelite leaders made a metal statue of a calf at Mount Horeb

and they worshiped it.

20 So instead of worshipping their glorious God,

they worshipped a statue of a bull that eats grass!

21 They ignored God, who had rescued them by the great miracles that he performed in Egypt.

22 They stopped thinking about the wonderful things that he did for them in Egypt

and the amazing things that he did for them at the Sea of Reeds.

23 Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelites;

but Moses, whom God had chosen to serve him,

confronted God to persuade him not to destroy them.

24 Then our ancestors refused to enter the beautiful land of Canaan

because they did not believe that God would fulfill his promise that he would enable them to take the land from the people who were living there.

25 Instead, they stayed in their tents and complained.

They did not obey what Yahweh said that they should do.

26 So Yahweh solemnly swore to them

that he would cause them to die there in the wilderness,

27 and that he would spread their descendants among the people of other nations,

yes, that he would disperse them in those foreign lands.

28 Later the Israelite people began worshipping the statue of Baal at Mount Peor,

and they ate meat that had been sacrificed to dead ancestors.

29 When the people did these things, that made Yahweh angry,

so again he caused many of them to get a terrible disease.

30 But Phinehas stood up and punished the ones who had sinned,

and as a result the plague ended.

31 Because of what Phinehas did, people have considered him to be a righteous man,

and people in all future years will continue to remember him as righteous.

32 Then at Meribah, where the water came out of the rock, our ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry again,

and Moses suffered because of what they did.

33 Moses suffered because they caused him to become very angry,

and he said things that were foolish.

34 Our ancestors did not destroy the other people groups

as Yahweh had told them to do.

35 Instead, the men married women from those people groups,

and they started doing the evil things that those people did.

36 Our ancestors worshiped the idols of those people,

and that is how they began to reject Yahweh and his ways.

37 Many of the Israelites sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons that those idols represented.

38 They killed their own sons and daughters, who had done nothing wrong,

by offering them as sacrifices to the idols of the Canaanites.

Because of those murders, the land of Canaan became defiled.

39 Because of what they did they made it impossible for Yahweh to accept them.

By worshipping idols instead of faithfully worshipping only Yahweh,

they became like prostitutes.

40 So Yahweh became very angry with his people;

he was completely disgusted with them.

41 As a result, he allowed other people groups to conquer our ancestors,

so that those who hated our ancestors were their rulers.

42 Their enemies oppressed our ancestors

and completely controlled them.

43 Many times Yahweh saved his people,

but they insisted on rebelling against him,

and they destroyed themselves by being more and more sinful.

44 However, Yahweh saw everything that was distressing to them,

and he listened to them when they cried out to him for help.

45 He thought about the covenant that he had made with them,

and because he was completely committed to faithfully loving them,

he decided that he would stop punishing them.

46 He caused all those who had captured the Israelites to feel sorry for them.

47 Yahweh our God, rescue us

and bring us back to Israel from among those other people groups

so that we may thank you who are holy

and joyfully praise you!

48 Praise Yahweh, the God whom we Israelites worship!

Praise him now and forever!

Let all the people say, “We agree!

Praise Yahweh!”
