Psalm 106:1-12

Complete Jewish Bible

106 Halleluyah!

Give thanks to Adonai; for he is good,
for his grace continues forever.
² Who can express Adonai’s mighty doings
or proclaim in full his praise?
³ How happy are those who act justly,
who always do what is right!

⁴ Remember me, Adonai, when you show favor to your people,
keep me in mind when you save them;
⁵ so I can see how well things are going
with those whom you have chosen,
so that I can rejoice in your nation’s joy,
and glory in your heritage.

⁶ Together with our ancestors, we have sinned,
done wrong, acted wickedly.
⁷ Our ancestors in Egypt failed to grasp
the meaning of your wonders.
They didn’t keep in mind your great deeds of grace
but rebelled at the sea, at the Sea of Suf.
⁸ Yet he saved them for his own name’s sake,
to make known his mighty power.
⁹ He rebuked the Sea of Suf, and it dried up;
he led them through its depths as through a desert.
¹⁰ He saved them from hostile hands,
redeemed them from the power of the foe.
¹¹ The water closed over their adversaries;
not one of them was left.

¹² Then they believed his words,
and they sang his praise.
