The Book of Psalms 106

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!”
