诗篇106:
1你们要赞美耶和华。要称谢耶和华，因他本为善。他的慈爱永远长存。
2谁能传说耶和华的大能，谁能表明他一切的美德。
3凡遵守公平，常行公义的，这人便为有福。
4耶和华啊，你用恩惠待你的百姓，求你也用这恩惠记念我，开你的救恩眷顾我，
5使我见你选民的福，乐你国民的乐，与你的产业一同夸耀。
6我们与我们的祖宗一同犯罪。我们作了孽，行了恶。
7我们的祖宗在埃及不明白你的奇事，不记念你丰盛的慈爱，反倒在红海行了悖逆。
8然而，他因自己的名拯救他们，为要彰显他的大能。
9并且斥责红海，海便干了；他带领他们经过深处，如同经过旷野。
10他拯救他们脱离恨他们人的手，从仇敌手中救赎他们。
11水淹没他们的敌人，没有一个存留。
12那时，他们才信了他的话，歌唱赞美他。
13等不多时，他们就忘了他的作为，不仰望他的指教，
14反倒在旷野大起欲心，在荒地试探神。
15他将他们所求的赐给他们，却使他们的心灵软弱。
16他们又在营中嫉妒摩西，和耶和华的圣者亚伦。
17地裂开，吞下大坍，掩盖亚比兰一党的人。
18有火在他们的党中发起，有火焰烧毁了恶人。
19他们在何烈山造了牛犊，叩拜铸成的像。
20如此将他们荣耀的主，换为吃草之牛的像。
21忘了神他们的救主。他曾在埃及行大事。
22在含地行奇事，在红海行可畏的事。
23所以，他说要灭绝他们。若非有他所拣选的摩西站在当中（原文作破口），使他的忿怒转消，恐怕他就灭绝他们。
24他们又藐视那美地，不信他的话，
25在自己帐棚内发怨言，不听耶和华的声音。
26所以，他对他们起誓，必叫他们倒在旷野，
27叫他们的后裔倒在列国之中，分散在各地。
28他们又与巴力毗珥连合，且吃了祭死神（或作人）的物。
29他们这样行，惹耶和华发怒，便有瘟疫流行在他们中间。
30那时，非尼哈站起，刑罚恶人，瘟疫这才止息。
31那就算为他的义，世世代代，直到永远。
32他们在米利巴水又叫耶和华发怒，甚至摩西也受了亏损。
33是因他们惹动他的灵，摩西（原文作他）用嘴说了急躁的话。
34他们不照耶和华所吩咐的灭绝外邦人，
35反与他们混杂相合，学习他们的行为，
36事奉他们的偶像，这就成了自己的网罗。
37把自己的儿女祭祀鬼魔，
38流无辜人的血，就是自己儿女的血，把他们祭祀迦南的偶像，那地就被血污秽了。
39这样，他们被自己所做的污秽了，在行为上犯了邪淫。
40所以，耶和华的怒气，向他的百姓发作，憎恶他的产业。
41将他们交在外邦人的手里；恨他们的人就辖制他们。
42他们的仇敌也欺压他们，他们就伏在敌人手下。
43他屡次搭救他们，他们却设谋背逆，因自己的罪孽降为卑下。
44然而，他听见他们哀告的时候，就眷顾他们的急难。
45为他们记念他的约，照他丰盛的慈爱后悔。
46他也使他们在凡掳掠他们的人面前蒙怜恤。
47耶和华我们的神啊，求你拯救我们，从外邦中招聚我们，我们好称赞你的圣名，以赞美你为夸胜。
48耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的，从亘古直到永远。愿众民都说，阿们。你们要赞美耶和华。
1Praise the Lord!Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!His faithful love endures forever.
2Who can list the glorious miracles of the Lord?Who can ever praise him enough?
3There is joy for those who deal justly with othersand always do what is right.
4Remember me, Lord, when you show favor to your people;come near and rescue me.
5Let me share in the prosperity of your chosen ones.Let me rejoice in the joy of your people;let me praise you with those who are your heritage.
6Like our ancestors, we have sinned.We have done wrong! We have acted wickedly!
7Our ancestors in Egyptwere not impressed by the Lord’s miraculous deeds.They soon forgot his many acts of kindness to them.Instead, they rebelled against him at the Red Sea.#106:7 Hebrew at the sea, the sea of reeds.
8Even so, he saved them—to defend the honor of his nameand to demonstrate his mighty power.
9He commanded the Red Sea#106:9 Hebrew sea of reeds; also in 106:22. to dry up.He led Israel across the sea as if it were a desert.
10So he rescued them from their enemiesand redeemed them from their foes.
11Then the water returned and covered their enemies;not one of them survived.
12Then his people believed his promises.Then they sang his praise.
13Yet how quickly they forgot what he had done!They wouldn’t wait for his counsel!
14In the wilderness their desires ran wild,testing God’s patience in that dry wasteland.
15So he gave them what they asked for,but he sent a plague along with it.
16The people in the camp were jealous of Mosesand envious of Aaron, the Lord’s holy priest.
17Because of this, the earth opened up;it swallowed Dathanand buried Abiram and the other rebels.
18Fire fell upon their followers;a flame consumed the wicked.
19The people made a calf at Mount Sinai#106:19 Hebrew at Horeb, another name for Sinai.;they bowed before an image made of gold.
20They traded their glorious Godfor a statue of a grass-eating bull.
21They forgot God, their savior,who had done such great things in Egypt—
22such wonderful things in the land of Ham,such awesome deeds at the Red Sea.
23So he declared he would destroy them.But Moses, his chosen one, stepped between the Lord and the people.He begged him to turn from his anger and not destroy them.
24The people refused to enter the pleasant land,for they wouldn’t believe his promise to care for them.
25Instead, they grumbled in their tentsand refused to obey the Lord.
26Therefore, he solemnly sworethat he would kill them in the wilderness,
27that he would scatter their descendants#106:27 As in Syriac version; Hebrew reads he would cause their descendants to fall. among the nations,exiling them to distant lands.
28Then our ancestors joined in the worship of Baal at Peor;they even ate sacrifices offered to the dead!
29They angered the Lord with all these things,so a plague broke out among them.
30But Phinehas had the courage to intervene,and the plague was stopped.
31So he has been regarded as a righteous manever since that time.
32At Meribah, too, they angered the Lord,causing Moses serious trouble.
33They made Moses angry,#106:33 Hebrew They embittered his spirit.and he spoke foolishly.
34Israel failed to destroy the nations in the land,as the Lord had commanded them.
35Instead, they mingled among the pagansand adopted their evil customs.
36They worshiped their idols,which led to their downfall.
37They even sacrificed their sonsand their daughters to the demons.
38They shed innocent blood,the blood of their sons and daughters.By sacrificing them to the idols of Canaan,they polluted the land with murder.
39They defiled themselves by their evil deeds,and their love of idols was adultery in the Lord’s sight.
40That is why the Lord’s anger burned against his people,and he abhorred his own special possession.
41He handed them over to pagan nations,and they were ruled by those who hated them.
42Their enemies crushed themand brought them under their cruel power.
43Again and again he rescued them,but they chose to rebel against him,and they were finally destroyed by their sin.
44Even so, he pitied them in their distressand listened to their cries.
45He remembered his covenant with themand relented because of his unfailing love.
46He even caused their captorsto treat them with kindness.
47Save us, O Lord our God!Gather us back from among the nations,so we can thank your holy nameand rejoice and praise you.
48Praise the Lord, the God of Israel,who lives from everlasting to everlasting!Let all the people say, “Amen!”Praise the Lord!
