上帝恩待祂的子民(A)

106 你們要讚美耶和華!
要稱謝耶和華,
因為祂是美善的,
祂的慈愛永遠長存!
誰能述說耶和華的大能作為?
誰能道盡祂當受讚美之處?
那些行事公正,
持守公義的人有福了。
耶和華啊!
你恩待你子民的時候,
求你別忘了我;
你拯救他們的時候,
求你幫助我,
使我看到你所揀選的人繁榮昌盛,
與他們同樂,
與你的子民一同誇耀。
我們跟祖先一樣也犯了罪,
行事邪惡。
我們祖先在埃及漠視你行的神蹟,
忘記你向他們屢施慈愛,
在紅海邊反叛你。

但祂為了自己的名拯救了他們,
以彰顯祂的大能。
祂斥責紅海,海就乾了,
祂帶領他們走過深淵,
如履乾地。
10 祂救他們逃脫敵人的追趕,
從仇敵的手中救贖了他們。
11 海水淹沒了敵軍,
沒有一人生還。
12 那時他們才相信祂的話,
歌唱讚美祂。
13 然而,他們很快忘了祂的作為,
不願等候祂的引導。
14 他們在曠野大起貪念,
試探上帝。
15 祂滿足了他們的要求,
但在他們當中降下了瘟疫。
16 他們還在營中嫉妒摩西和耶和華揀選為祭司的亞倫。
17 於是大地裂開,
吞沒了大坍、亞比蘭和他們的家人。
18 火在他們的黨羽中燒起,
消滅了這些惡人。
19 他們在何烈山鑄造牛犢,祭拜偶像,
20 他們把榮耀的上帝變成了吃草之牛的鑄像。
21 他們忘記了拯救他們的上帝,
祂曾在埃及行奇事,
22 在含地行神蹟,
在紅海邊行可畏的事。
23 因此祂說要消滅他們。
若不是祂所揀選的摩西為他們求情,
祂早已在烈怒中毀滅了他們。
24 他們藐視那佳美之地,
不相信祂的應許。
25 他們在帳篷裡發怨言,
不聽從祂的命令。
26 因此,祂舉手起誓要使他們倒斃在曠野,
27 使他們的後代分散到各族各方去。
28 他們在毗珥祭拜巴力,
吃獻給假神的祭物。
29 他們的所作所為觸怒耶和華,
以致瘟疫降在他們中間,
30 直到非尼哈起來懲罰罪人,
瘟疫才停止。
31 這就是他的義行,世代永存。
32 他們在米利巴泉邊惹耶和華發怒,
連累了摩西。
33 因為他們惹摩西發怒,
以致他說了魯莽的話。
34 他們沒有照耶和華的命令消滅外族人,
35 反倒與他們混居,
仿效他們的習俗,
36 拜他們的神像,陷入網羅。
37 他們把自己的兒女當祭物獻給鬼魔,
38 他們把自己的兒女獻給迦南的神像作祭物,
流他們兒女無辜的血,
玷污了那地方。
39 他們的行為玷污了自己,
使自己淪為淫婦。
40 耶和華因此向祂的子民發怒,
厭惡他們,
41 使他們落在列邦的手中,
受敵人的轄制。
42 他們的敵人壓迫他們,
奴役他們。
43 祂多次拯救他們,
他們卻執意背叛,
陷入罪中不能自拔。
44 但祂聽見他們在苦難中呼求時,
仍然眷顧他們。
45 祂沒有忘記與他們立的約,
因祂偉大無比的愛而憐憫他們。
46 祂使擄掠他們的人憐憫他們。
47 我們的上帝耶和華啊,
求你拯救我們,
從各國招聚我們,
使我們可以稱謝你的聖名,
歡然讚美你。
48 以色列的上帝耶和華永永遠遠當受稱頌。
願萬民都說:「阿們!」
你們要讚美耶和華!

106 (A)¡Aleluya! ¡Alabado sea el Señor!

Dad gracias al Señor, porque él es bueno;
    su gran amor perdura para siempre.
¿Quién puede proclamar las proezas del Señor,
    o expresar toda su alabanza?
Dichosos los que practican la justicia
    y hacen siempre lo que es justo.
Recuérdame, Señor, cuando te compadezcas de tu pueblo;
    ven en mi ayuda el día de tu salvación.
Hazme disfrutar del bienestar de tus escogidos,
    participar de la alegría de tu pueblo
    y expresar mis alabanzas con tu heredad.

Hemos pecado, lo mismo que nuestros padres;
    hemos hecho lo malo y actuado con iniquidad.
Cuando nuestros padres estaban en Egipto,
    no tomaron en cuenta tus maravillas;
no tuvieron presente tu bondad infinita
    y se rebelaron junto al mar, el Mar Rojo.[a]
Pero Dios los salvó, haciendo honor a su nombre,
    para mostrar su gran poder.
Reprendió al Mar Rojo, y este quedó seco;
    los condujo por las profundidades del mar
    como si cruzaran el desierto.
10 Los salvó del poder de sus enemigos,
    del poder de quienes los odiaban.
11 Las aguas envolvieron a sus adversarios,
    y ninguno de estos quedó con vida.
12 Entonces ellos creyeron en sus promesas
    y le entonaron alabanzas.

13 Pero muy pronto olvidaron sus acciones
    y no esperaron a conocer sus planes.
14 En el desierto cedieron a sus propios deseos;
    en los páramos pusieron a prueba a Dios.
15 Y él les dio lo que pidieron,
    pero les envió una enfermedad devastadora.

16 En el campamento tuvieron envidia de Moisés
    y de Aarón, el que estaba consagrado al Señor.
17 Se abrió la tierra y se tragó a Datán;
    sepultó a los seguidores de Abirán.
18 Un fuego devoró a esa pandilla;
    las llamas consumieron a los impíos.

19 En Horeb hicieron un becerro;
    se postraron ante un ídolo de fundición.
20 Cambiaron al que era su motivo de orgullo[b]
    por la imagen de un toro que come hierba.
21 Se olvidaron del Dios que los salvó
    y que había hecho grandes cosas en Egipto:
22 milagros en la tierra de Cam
    y portentos junto al Mar Rojo.
23 Dios amenazó con destruirlos,
    pero no lo hizo por Moisés, su escogido,
que se puso ante él en la brecha
    e impidió que su ira los destruyera.

24 Menospreciaron esa bella tierra;
    no creyeron en la promesa de Dios.
25 Refunfuñaron en sus tiendas de campaña
    y no obedecieron al Señor.
26 Por tanto, él levantó su mano contra ellos
    para hacerlos caer en el desierto,
27 para hacer caer a sus descendientes entre las naciones
    y dispersarlos por todos los países.

28 Se sometieron al yugo de Baal Peor
    y comieron de las ofrendas a ídolos sin vida.[c]
29 Provocaron al Señor con sus malvadas acciones,
    y les sobrevino una plaga.
30 Pero Finés se levantó e hizo justicia,
    y la plaga se detuvo.
31 Esto se le reconoció como un acto de justicia
    para siempre, por todas las generaciones.

32 Junto a las aguas de Meribá hicieron enojar al Señor,
    y a Moisés le fue mal por culpa de ellos,
33 pues lo sacaron de quicio
    y él habló sin pensar lo que decía.
34 No destruyeron a los pueblos
    que el Señor les había señalado,
35 sino que se mezclaron con los paganos
    y adoptaron sus costumbres.
36 Rindieron culto a sus ídolos,
    y se les volvieron una trampa.
37 Ofrecieron a sus hijos y a sus hijas
    como sacrificio a esos demonios.
38 Derramaron sangre inocente,
    la sangre de sus hijos y sus hijas.
Al ofrecerlos en sacrificio a los ídolos de Canaán,
    su sangre derramada profanó la tierra.
39 Tales hechos los contaminaron;
    tales acciones los corrompieron.

40 La ira del Señor se encendió contra su pueblo;
    su heredad le resultó aborrecible.
41 Por eso los entregó a los paganos,
    y fueron dominados por quienes los odiaban.
42 Sus enemigos los oprimieron,
    los sometieron a su poder.
43 Muchas veces Dios los libró;
    pero ellos, empeñados en su rebeldía,
    se hundieron en la maldad.

44 Al verlos Dios angustiados,
    y al escuchar su clamor,
45 se acordó del pacto que había hecho con ellos
    y, por su gran amor, tuvo compasión de ellos.
46 Hizo que todos sus opresores
    también se apiadaran de ellos.

47 Sálvanos, Señor, Dios nuestro;
    vuelve a reunirnos de entre las naciones,
para que demos gracias a tu santo nombre
    y orgullosos te alabemos.

48 ¡Bendito sea el Señor, el Dios de Israel,
    eternamente y para siempre!
¡Que todo el pueblo diga: «Amén»!

¡Aleluya! ¡Alabado sea el Señor!

Psalm 106(A)

Praise the Lord.[a](B)

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;(C)
    his love endures forever.(D)

Who can proclaim the mighty acts(E) of the Lord
    or fully declare his praise?
Blessed are those who act justly,(F)
    who always do what is right.(G)

Remember me,(H) Lord, when you show favor(I) to your people,
    come to my aid(J) when you save them,
that I may enjoy the prosperity(K) of your chosen ones,(L)
    that I may share in the joy(M) of your nation
    and join your inheritance(N) in giving praise.

We have sinned,(O) even as our ancestors(P) did;
    we have done wrong and acted wickedly.(Q)
When our ancestors were in Egypt,
    they gave no thought(R) to your miracles;
they did not remember(S) your many kindnesses,
    and they rebelled by the sea,(T) the Red Sea.[b]
Yet he saved them(U) for his name’s sake,(V)
    to make his mighty power(W) known.
He rebuked(X) the Red Sea, and it dried up;(Y)
    he led them through(Z) the depths as through a desert.
10 He saved them(AA) from the hand of the foe;(AB)
    from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.(AC)
11 The waters covered(AD) their adversaries;
    not one of them survived.
12 Then they believed his promises
    and sang his praise.(AE)

13 But they soon forgot(AF) what he had done
    and did not wait for his plan to unfold.(AG)
14 In the desert(AH) they gave in to their craving;
    in the wilderness(AI) they put God to the test.(AJ)
15 So he gave them(AK) what they asked for,
    but sent a wasting disease(AL) among them.

16 In the camp they grew envious(AM) of Moses
    and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the Lord.
17 The earth opened(AN) up and swallowed Dathan;(AO)
    it buried the company of Abiram.(AP)
18 Fire blazed(AQ) among their followers;
    a flame consumed the wicked.
19 At Horeb they made a calf(AR)
    and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
20 They exchanged their glorious God(AS)
    for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
21 They forgot the God(AT) who saved them,
    who had done great things(AU) in Egypt,
22 miracles in the land of Ham(AV)
    and awesome deeds(AW) by the Red Sea.
23 So he said he would destroy(AX) them—
    had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach(AY) before him
    to keep his wrath from destroying them.

24 Then they despised(AZ) the pleasant land;(BA)
    they did not believe(BB) his promise.
25 They grumbled(BC) in their tents
    and did not obey the Lord.
26 So he swore(BD) to them with uplifted hand
    that he would make them fall in the wilderness,(BE)
27 make their descendants fall among the nations
    and scatter(BF) them throughout the lands.

28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor(BG)
    and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
29 they aroused the Lord’s anger(BH) by their wicked deeds,(BI)
    and a plague(BJ) broke out among them.
30 But Phinehas(BK) stood up and intervened,
    and the plague was checked.(BL)
31 This was credited to him(BM) as righteousness
    for endless generations(BN) to come.
32 By the waters of Meribah(BO) they angered the Lord,
    and trouble came to Moses because of them;
33 for they rebelled(BP) against the Spirit(BQ) of God,
    and rash words came from Moses’ lips.[c](BR)

34 They did not destroy(BS) the peoples
    as the Lord had commanded(BT) them,
35 but they mingled(BU) with the nations
    and adopted their customs.
36 They worshiped their idols,(BV)
    which became a snare(BW) to them.
37 They sacrificed their sons(BX)
    and their daughters to false gods.(BY)
38 They shed innocent blood,
    the blood of their sons(BZ) and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
    and the land was desecrated by their blood.
39 They defiled themselves(CA) by what they did;
    by their deeds they prostituted(CB) themselves.

40 Therefore the Lord was angry(CC) with his people
    and abhorred his inheritance.(CD)
41 He gave them into the hands(CE) of the nations,
    and their foes ruled over them.
42 Their enemies oppressed(CF) them
    and subjected them to their power.
43 Many times he delivered them,(CG)
    but they were bent on rebellion(CH)
    and they wasted away in their sin.
44 Yet he took note of their distress
    when he heard their cry;(CI)
45 for their sake he remembered his covenant(CJ)
    and out of his great love(CK) he relented.(CL)
46 He caused all who held them captive
    to show them mercy.(CM)

47 Save us,(CN) Lord our God,
    and gather us(CO) from the nations,
that we may give thanks(CP) to your holy name(CQ)
    and glory in your praise.

48 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.

Let all the people say, “Amen!”(CR)

Praise the Lord.

Joy in Forgiveness of Israel’s Sins

106 Praise[a] the Lord!

(A)Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.

Who can [b]utter the mighty acts of the Lord?
Who can declare all His praise?
Blessed are those who keep justice,
And [c]he who (B)does righteousness at (C)all times!

(D)Remember me, O Lord, with the favor You have toward Your people.
Oh, visit me with Your salvation,
That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones,
That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may glory with [d]Your inheritance.

(E)We have sinned with our fathers,
We have committed iniquity,
We have done wickedly.
Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,
(F)But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake,
(G)That He might make His mighty power known.
(H)He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up;
So (I)He led them through the depths,
As through the wilderness.
10 He (J)saved them from the hand of him who hated them,
And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 (K)The waters covered their enemies;
There was not one of them left.
12 (L)Then they believed His words;
They sang His praise.

13 (M)They soon forgot His works;
They did not wait for His counsel,
14 (N)But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,
And tested God in the desert.
15 (O)And He gave them their request,
But (P)sent leanness into their soul.

16 When (Q)they envied Moses in the camp,
And Aaron the saint of the Lord,
17 (R)The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan,
And covered the faction of Abiram.
18 (S)A fire was kindled in their company;
The flame burned up the wicked.

19 (T)They made a calf in Horeb,
And worshiped the molded image.
20 Thus (U)they changed their glory
Into the image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They forgot God their Savior,
Who had done great things in Egypt,
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,
Awesome things by the Red Sea.
23 (V)Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
Had not Moses His chosen one (W)stood before Him in the breach,
To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them.

24 Then they despised (X)the pleasant land;
They (Y)did not believe His word,
25 (Z)But complained in their tents,
And did not heed the voice of the Lord.
26 (AA)Therefore He raised His hand in an oath against them,
(AB)To [e]overthrow them in the wilderness,
27 (AC)To [f]overthrow their descendants among the [g]nations,
And to scatter them in the lands.

28 (AD)They joined themselves also to Baal of Peor,
And ate sacrifices [h]made to the dead.
29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds,
And the plague broke out among them.
30 (AE)Then Phinehas stood up and intervened,
And the plague was stopped.
31 And that was accounted to him (AF)for righteousness
To all generations forevermore.

32 (AG)They angered Him also at the waters of [i]strife,
(AH)So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;
33 (AI)Because they rebelled against His Spirit,
So that he spoke rashly with his lips.

34 (AJ)They did not destroy the peoples,
(AK)Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,
35 (AL)But they mingled with the Gentiles
And learned their works;
36 (AM)They served their idols,
(AN)Which became a snare to them.
37 (AO)They even sacrificed their sons
And their daughters to (AP)demons,
38 And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And (AQ)the land was polluted with blood.
39 Thus they [j]were (AR)defiled by their own works,
And (AS)played[k] the harlot by their own deeds.

40 Therefore (AT)the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,
So that He abhorred (AU)His own inheritance.
41 And (AV)He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles,
And those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
43 (AW)Many times He delivered them;
But they rebelled in their counsel,
And were brought low for their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless He regarded their affliction,
When (AX)He heard their cry;
45 (AY)And for their sake He remembered His covenant,
And (AZ)relented (BA)according to the multitude of His mercies.
46 (BB)He also made them to be pitied
By all those who carried them away captive.

47 (BC)Save us, O Lord our God,
And gather us from among the Gentiles,
To give thanks to Your holy name,
To triumph in Your praise.

48 (BD)Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
And let all the people say, “Amen!”

[l]Praise the Lord!

Psalm 106

Praise the Eternal!
    Thank Him because He is good
    and His loyal love will never end.
Who could find words to tell of the Eternal’s mighty deeds
    or give Him all the praise He deserves?
Blessed are those who work for justice,
    who always do what they know to be right!

Remember me, O Eternal One, when You show kindness to Your people;
    don’t forget me when You are saving them.
That way I can know how good it is to be Your chosen people;
    that way I can celebrate the joy of Your nation;
    that way I can join those who belong to You in unending praise.

Psalm 106 was composed during the exile offering a historical review of the ways God’s people rebelled against Him. It is a fitting closure to Book Four of Psalms. After this liturgy of failure on the part of the people, the psalmist cries out in thanksgiving for God’s faithfulness and in the final verse proclaims praise “from everlasting to everlasting.”

Like our ancestors, we have sinned;
    we have done wicked things.
When our ancestors were leaving Egypt,
    they did not consider Your marvelous acts.
They forgot Your overwhelming kindness to them
    and instead rebelled at the Red Sea.[a]
Nevertheless, God saved them for the honor of His name
    so He could show His power to the world.
He gave the order, and the waters of the Red Sea dried up,
    and He led the people across the sea floor as though it were the wilderness.
10 That’s how He liberated them from their enemies
    and rescued them from the hand of their oppressors.
11 After that the sea surged and covered their foes,
    and every one of them drowned in its waters.
12 When God’s people saw what He did, they believed what He said
    and they sang praises to Him.

13 But it didn’t take long for them to forget what He had done.
    They moved on without waiting for His instructions,
14 So our ancestors became very hungry in the wilderness
    and the rabble grumbled and complained, testing God’s patience in the desert.
15 Although He granted their request,
    He also sent a disease that caused them to waste away.

16 While they were camped in the desert, some began to be jealous of Moses
    and Aaron, the holy priest of the Eternal.
17 The earth opened up, and a deep fissure swallowed Dathan
    and buried Abiram’s group.
18 A blaze ignited where they were gathered;
    the fire consumed the wicked mob.

19 The people made a golden calf in Horeb
    and bowed to worship an image they had made.
20 They traded the glory of God
    for the likeness of an ox that eats grass.
21 They forgot about God, their True Savior,
    who had done great things for them in Egypt—
22 Miracles in the land of Ham
    and amazing deeds at the Red Sea.
23 Therefore, He declared in His anger that He would wipe them away.
    If Moses, His chosen one,
Had not pleaded for the people,
    His anger would have destroyed them.

24 At the edge of the beautiful land God had promised them,
    they didn’t trust His words, so they refused to enter.
25 They complained when they were gathered in their tents;
    they ignored the voice of the Eternal.
26 Because of their attitude, He swore,
    “I’ll leave you where you fall in the desert.
27 I’ll scatter your children—whoever is left
    throughout the nations all over the earth.”

28 Then they aligned themselves with the god of Peor,
    and they ate sacrifices that had been made to lifeless gods.
29 Through their actions, they stirred up His anger,
    and a plague broke out in their midst.
30 Then Phinehas took a stand and intervened,
    so the plague was stopped.
31 And God saw what he did and considered him righteous,
    a man to be honored by all generations forever.

32 Again they stirred up His anger at the waters of Meribah,
    and serious trouble came to Moses because of them;
33 Because they stood against the Spirit,
    Moses spoke rashly with them.

34 Later, after they entered the promised land, they did not eradicate the peoples,
    as the Eternal had ordered them to do,
35 But they mixed and married with the outsider nations,
    adopted their practices,
36 And worshiped their idols,
    which entrapped them.
37 They even offered their sons
    and daughters as sacrifices to the demons.
38 The promised land was corrupted by the innocent blood
    they offered to the idols of Canaan,
The blood of their very own sons and daughters.
39 They became impure because of their unfaithful works;
    by their actions, they prostituted themselves to other gods.

40 Therefore the Eternal’s anger was ignited against His people;
    He came to despise the people of His inheritance.
41 So He handed them over to the control of foreign nations,
    to be ruled by people who hated them.
42 Their enemies exploited them, victimized them,
    and restrained them by abusive power.
43 He delivered them over and over again;
    however, they were slow to learn and deliberately rebelled.
    Their sins humbled them and nearly destroyed them.
44 Nevertheless, He saw their great struggle, took pity on them,
    and heard their prayers;
45 He did not forget His covenant promises to them
    but reversed their fortune and released them from their punishment
    because of His loyal love.
46 He changed the hearts of all who held them captive
    so that they would show compassion on them.

47 Save us, O Eternal One our God,
    and gather us who are scattered among all the nations,
That we may give thanks to Your holy name
    and celebrate Your amazing greatness with praise.

48 Blessed be the Eternal, the God of Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.
And let everyone say, “Amen!”
    Praise the Eternal!
