Psalm 106
English Standard Version
Give Thanks to the Lord, for He Is Good
106 (A)Praise the Lord!
(B)Oh give thanks to the Lord, (C)for he is good,
(D)for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord,
or declare all his praise?
3 Blessed are they who observe justice,
who (E)do righteousness at all times!
4 (F)Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people;
help me when you save them,[a]
5 that I may look upon the prosperity of your (G)chosen ones,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
that I may glory with your inheritance.
6 (H)Both we and (I)our fathers have sinned;
we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
7 Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wondrous works;
they (J)did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love,
but (K)rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
8 Yet he saved them (L)for his name's sake,
(M)that he might make known his mighty power.
9 He (N)rebuked the Red Sea, and it (O)became dry,
and he (P)led them through the deep as through a desert.
10 So he (Q)saved them from the hand of the foe
and (R)redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
11 And (S)the waters covered their adversaries;
not one of them was left.
12 Then (T)they believed his words;
they (U)sang his praise.
13 But they soon (V)forgot his works;
they did not wait for (W)his counsel.
14 But they had (X)a wanton craving in the wilderness,
and (Y)put God to the test in the desert;
15 he (Z)gave them what they asked,
but sent (AA)a wasting disease among them.
16 When men in the camp (AB)were jealous of Moses
and Aaron, (AC)the holy one of the Lord,
17 (AD)the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
and covered the company of Abiram.
18 (AE)Fire also broke out in their company;
the flame burned up the wicked.
19 They (AF)made a calf in Horeb
and worshiped a metal image.
20 They (AG)exchanged the glory of God[b]
for the image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They (AH)forgot God, their Savior,
who had done great things in Egypt,
22 wondrous works in (AI)the land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23 Therefore (AJ)he said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his (AK)chosen one,
(AL)stood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
24 Then they (AM)despised (AN)the pleasant land,
having (AO)no faith in his promise.
25 They (AP)murmured in their tents,
and did not obey the voice of the Lord.
26 Therefore he (AQ)raised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
27 and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
(AR)scattering them among the lands.
28 Then they (AS)yoked themselves to the (AT)Baal of Peor,
and ate sacrifices offered to (AU)the dead;
29 they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
30 Then (AV)Phinehas stood up and intervened,
and the plague was stayed.
31 And that was (AW)counted to him as righteousness
from generation to generation forever.
32 They (AX)angered him at the waters of Meribah,
and it went ill with Moses on their account,
33 for they (AY)made his spirit bitter,[c]
and he (AZ)spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They did not (BA)destroy the peoples,
(BB)as the Lord commanded them,
35 but they (BC)mixed with the nations
and learned to do as they did.
36 They served their idols,
which became (BD)a snare to them.
37 They (BE)sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to (BF)the demons;
38 they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was (BG)polluted with blood.
39 Thus they (BH)became unclean by their acts,
and (BI)played the whore in their deeds.
40 Then (BJ)the anger of the Lord was kindled against (BK)his people,
and he abhorred his (BL)heritage;
41 he (BM)gave them into the hand of the nations,
so that those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies (BN)oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their power.
43 (BO)Many times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their (BP)purposes
and were (BQ)brought low through their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
when he (BR)heard their cry.
45 For their sake he (BS)remembered his covenant,
and (BT)relented according to (BU)the abundance of his steadfast love.
46 He caused them to be (BV)pitied
by all those who held them captive.
47 (BW)Save us, O Lord our God,
and (BX)gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
48 (BY)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting!
(BZ)And let all the people say, “Amen!”
(CA)Praise the Lord!

Psalm 106
New International Version
Psalm 106(A)
2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts(E) of the Lord
or fully declare his praise?
3 Blessed are those who act justly,(F)
who always do what is right.(G)
4 Remember me,(H) Lord, when you show favor(I) to your people,
come to my aid(J) when you save them,
5 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.
6 We have sinned,(O) even as our ancestors(P) did;
we have done wrong and acted wickedly.(Q)
7 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]
8 Yet he saved them(U) for his name’s sake,(V)
to make his mighty power(W) known.
9 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.

La rebeldía de Israel
106 ¡Aleluya!
¡Alabemos al Señor, porque él es bueno,
porque su misericordia permanece para siempre.(A)
2 ¿Quién podrá contar las grandes obras del Señor?
¿Quién podrá cantar sus alabanzas?
3 ¡Dichosos los que imparten justicia
y siempre practican el derecho!
4 Señor, acuérdate de mí
cuando tu bondad alcance a tu pueblo;
¡ven a brindarme tu salvación!
5 Déjame ver tu bondad hacia tus escogidos;
déjame participar de la alegría de tu pueblo,
y alabarte en compañía de los que son tuyos.
6 Somos tan pecadores como nuestros padres.
Hemos hecho lo malo, hemos cometido maldad.
7 En Egipto, nuestros padres no entendieron tus maravillas;
no se acordaron de tu gran misericordia,
y a orillas del Mar Rojo(B) se rebelaron contra ti.
8 Pero tú, Señor, por tu gran amor los salvaste
y diste a conocer tu gran poder.
9 Reprendiste al Mar Rojo, y éste se secó,(C)
y tu pueblo pasó por el mar como por un desierto.
10 Tú los salvaste del poder del enemigo;
¡los rescataste del poder de sus adversarios!
11 El mar cubrió a sus perseguidores,
y ninguno de ellos quedó con vida.
12 Entonces tu pueblo creyó en tu palabra,
y con alegría te cantaron alabanzas.(D)
13 Pero muy pronto olvidaron tus obras;
no esperaron a conocer tus consejos.
14 Allí, en la soledad del desierto,
se entregaron al desenfreno y te pusieron a prueba.
15 Tú les diste lo que pidieron,
pero les enviaste una enfermedad mortal.(E)
16 En el campamento, sintieron envidia de Moisés
y de Aarón, a quien tú consagraste a tu servicio.
17 La tierra se abrió, y se tragó a Datán,
y sepultó a la pandilla de Abirán.
18 El fuego se extendió entre ellos,
y los impíos(F) fueron consumidos por las llamas.
19 En Horeb se hicieron un becerro de oro,
y ante esa horrenda imagen(G) se arrodillaron;
20 ¡cambiaron la gloria de Dios
por la imagen de un buey que come hierba!
21 Se olvidaron del Dios que los salvó;
se olvidaron de sus grandes proezas en Egipto,
22 de las maravillas que hizo en tierra de Cam
y de su paso asombroso por el Mar Rojo.
23 Dios llegó a pensar en destruirlos,
pero Moisés, su escogido, se interpuso
e impidió que, en su indignación, los destruyera.
24 Ellos despreciaron una tierra muy deseable,
y no creyeron en las promesas de Dios.
25 En sus tiendas hablaron mal del Señor,
y se negaron a escuchar su voz.
26 Entonces Dios levantó su mano contra ellos
y juró que los haría morir en el desierto,(H)
27 que los humillaría ante las naciones
y los dispersaría por todos los países.(I)
28 Pero el pueblo se sometió ante Baal Pegor,
y participó de los sacrificios a un dios muerto.
29 Esto les acarreó la ira de Dios,
y una plaga mortal cayó sobre ellos.
30 Pero Finés se interpuso y castigó al culpable,
y entonces la plaga se detuvo.
31 Dios tomó su acción como un acto de justicia,
el cual permanece por siempre y para siempre.(J)
32 Junto a las aguas en Meriba irritaron al Señor,
y por culpa de ellos le fue mal a Moisés,
33 pues hicieron que su ánimo se exaltara,
y que hablara con precipitación.(K)
34 No destruyeron a los pueblos
que el Señor les ordenó destruir,
35 sino que se mezclaron con ellos
y asimilaron sus malas costumbres;
36 rindieron culto a sus ídolos,
y eso los llevó a la ruina;(L)
37 ofrecieron a sus hijos y a sus hijas
en sacrificio a esos demonios,(M)
38 y así derramaron sangre inocente;
sangre que fue ofrecida a los dioses de Canaán,
sangre que dejó manchada la tierra.(N)
39 Esos hechos los hicieron impuros,
pues actuaron como un pueblo infiel.
40 El Señor se enfureció contra su pueblo,
y sintió repugnancia por los que eran suyos.
41 Los dejó caer en manos de los paganos,
y fueron sometidos por quienes los odiaban.
42 Sus enemigos los oprimieron;
los sometieron bajo su poder.
43 Muchas veces el Señor los libró,
pero ellos optaron por ser rebeldes,
y por su maldad fueron humillados.
44 Al verlos Dios angustiados,
y al escuchar su clamor,
45 se acordaba de su pacto con ellos,
y por su gran misericordia los volvía a perdonar
46 y hacía que todos sus opresores
les tuvieran compasión.(O)
47 Señor y Dios nuestro, ¡sálvanos!
¡haz que regresemos de entre las naciones
para que alabemos tu santo nombre,
y alegres te cantemos alabanzas!
48 ¡Bendito seas Señor, Dios de Israel,
desde siempre y hasta siempre!
Que todo el pueblo diga: «¡Amén!»
¡Aleluya!(P)
