03 May - Psalm 106 And 107

Jude Sat Dec 22, 2018 3:27 pm

My soul doth magnify my YAH, and my spirit hath rejoiced in EL my Saviour; For HE that is mighty hath done to me great things; and Holy is HIS Name. Now unto HIM who is ever present in my helpless estate; who is able to keep me from falling and to present me faultless before the presence of His Glory with exceeding joy, unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, the only wise EL our Saviour be honour and glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and for ever Halleluyah!

PSALM 106

1Praise Yah! Oh, give thanks to יהוה, For He is good! For His kindness is everlasting.

2Who does relate the mighty acts of יהוה? Or declare all His praise?

3Blessed are those who guard right-ruling, Who do righteousness at all times!

4Remember me, O יהוה, in the acceptance of Your people; Visit me with Your deliverance,

5To see the good of Your chosen ones, To rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, To make my boast with Your inheritance.

6We have sinned with our fathers, We have acted perversely, We have done wrong.

7Our fathers in Mitsrayim did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember Your many kindnesses, But rebelled by the sea, the Sea of Reeds.

8But He saved them for His Name’s sake, To make known His might.

9And He rebuked the Sea of Reeds, and it dried up; And He led them through the depths, Through a wilderness.

10And He saved them from the hand of the hater, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11And waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.

12Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.

13They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,

14But greedily lusted in the wilderness, And tried Ěl in the desert.

15And He gave them their request, But sent leanness within their being.

16And they were jealous of Mosheh in the camp, Of Aharon, the set-apart one of יהוה,

17Then the earth opened up and swallowed Dathan, And covered the company of Aḇiram.

18And a fire burned in their company; A flame consumed the wrong.

19They made a calf in Ḥorĕḇ, And bowed down to a moulded image.

20Thus they changed My esteem Into the form of an ox that eats grass.

21They forgot Ěl their Saviour, The Doer of great deeds in Mitsrayim,

22Of wonders in the land of Ḥam, Of awesome deeds by the Sea of Reeds.

23Then He said that He would destroy them, Had not Mosheh His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

24They then despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word,

25And they grumbled in their tents, They did not listen to the voice of יהוה.

26So He lifted up His hand in an oath against them, To make them fall in the wilderness,

27And to make their seed fall among the gentiles, And to scatter them in the lands.

28And they joined themselves to Ba‛al Pe‛or, And ate slaughterings made to the dead.

29Thus they provoked Him with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.

30Then Pineḥas stood up and intervened, And the plague was stopped.

31And that was reckoned to him for righteousness To all generations forever.

32And they provoked wrath at the waters of Meriḇah, And Mosheh suffered on account of them;

33Because they embittered his spirit, And he spoke rashly with his lips.

34They did not destroy the peoples, As יהוה had commanded them,

35But mixed with the gentiles And learned their works,

36And served their idols, And they became a snare to them.

37And they slaughtered their sons And their daughters to demons,

38And they shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, Whom they offered to the idols of Kena‛an; And the land was defiled with blood.

39So they became unclean by their own works, And went whoring by their own deeds.

40And the wrath of יהוה burned against His people, And He loathed His own inheritance.

41Then He gave them into the hand of the gentiles, And those who hated them ruled over them.

42And their enemies oppressed them, And they were humbled under their hand.

43Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their plans, So they were brought low for their crookedness.

44But He would look on their distress, When He heard their cry,

45And remember His covenant for their sake, And relent according to the greatness of His kindness.

46And He would let them find compassion, Before all those holding them captive.

47Save us, O יהוה our Elohim, And gather us from among the gentiles, To give thanks to Your set-apart Name, To exult in Your praise.

48Blessed be יהוה Elohim of Yisra’ĕl From everlasting to everlasting! And all the people shall say, “Amĕn!” Praise Yah!

PSALM 107

1Give thanks to יהוה! For He is good, For His kindness is everlasting.

2Let the redeemed of יהוה say so, Whom He has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,

3And gathered out of the lands, From east and from west, From north and from south.

4They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert way; They found no city to dwell in.

5Hungry and thirsty, Their being in them grew faint.

6Then they cried out to יהוה in their distress, He delivered them out of their troubles.

7And He guided them by the right way, To go to a city to settle.

8Let them give thanks to יהוה for His kindness, And His wonders to the children of men!

9For He has satisfied a longing being, And has filled the hungry being with goodness.

10Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, Bound in affliction and irons,

11Because they rebelled against the words of Ěl, And despised the counsel of the Most High.

12And He humbled their heart by toil; They stumbled, and there was no one to help.

13And they cried out to יהוה in their distress, And He saved them out of their troubles.

14He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And He broke their chains in pieces.

15Let them give thanks to יהוה for His kindness, And His wonders to the children of men!

16For He has broken the gates of bronze, And He cut the bars of iron in two.

17Fools, because of their transgression, And because of their crookednesses, were afflicted.

18Their being loathed all food, And they drew near to the gates of death,

19And cried out to יהוה in their distress, He saved them out of their troubles.

20He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

21Let them give thanks to יהוה for His kindness, And His wonders to the children of men!

22And let them bring slaughterings of thanksgiving, And relate His works with rejoicing.

23Those who go down to the sea in ships, Doing work in many waters,

24They see the works of יהוה, And His wonders in the deep.

25For He commands and raises the stormy wind, Which lifts up the waves of the sea.

26They go up to the heavens, They go down to the depths; Their being is melted because of evil.

27They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.

28Then they cry out to יהוה in their distress, And He brings them out of their troubles.

29He caused the storm to be still, So that its waves were silent.

30And they rejoice because they are hushed; And He leads them to the haven of their delight.

31Let them give thanks to יהוה for His kindness, And His wonders to the children of men!

32And let them exalt Him in the assembly of the people, And praise Him in the seat of the elders.

33He makes rivers become a wilderness, And the fountains of water become a dry ground;

34A land of fruit becomes a salty desert, For the evil of those who dwell in it.

35He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, And dry land become fountains of waters.

36And He causes the hungry to dwell there, And they build a city to settle in,

37And they sow fields and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.

38And He blesses them, And they increase greatly; And He lets not their cattle diminish.

39But when they are diminished and brought low Through oppression, evil and sorrow,

40He pours scorn on nobles, And causes them to wander in a pathless waste;

41But He raises the poor up from affliction, And makes their clans like a flock.

42The straight ones see, and rejoice, And all unrighteousness shuts its mouth.

43Who is wise? Then let him observe these matters! Let them understand the kindnesses of יהוה.
