1Благодарите Господа, потому что Он благ и милость Его навеки!2Пусть скажут это избавленные Им, те, кого Он избавил от руки врага3и собрал из разных земель – с востока, с запада, с севера и с юга[1].4Блуждали они в пустыне по безлюдным дорогам и не нашли города, в котором могли бы поселиться.5Они голодали и жаждали, и томилась их душа.6Но воззвали они к Господу в своем несчастье, и Он освободил их от бедствий.7Повел их прямым путем в город, где они могли поселиться.8Да славят Господа за Его милость и за Его чудесные дела для людей,9ведь Он утолил душу жаждущую и душу голодную насытил благами.10Они сидели во тьме и в тени смерти, окованные бедствием и железом,11потому что восстали против слов Божьих и пренебрегли советом Всевышнего.12Поэтому Он смирил их сердце тяжелым трудом; они падали, и некому было помочь.13Тогда воззвали они к Господу в своем несчастье, и Он спас их от бедствий.14Вывел их из темноты и из тени смерти, сломав их оковы.15Да славят Господа за Его милость и за Его чудесные дела для людей,16ведь Он сокрушил бронзовые ворота и сломал железные засовы.17Безрассудные страдали за свои грехи и за свое беззаконие.18От всякой пищи отвращалась их душа, и они приближались к воротам смерти.19Тогда воззвали они к Господу в своем несчастье, и Он спас их от бедствий.20Послал Свое слово и излечил их, избавил их от гибели.21Да славят Господа за Его милость и за Его чудесные дела для людей;22да приносят Ему жертвы благодарения и возвещают о Его делах с радостью.23Ходящие на судах в море, трудящиеся в больших водах,24видели и они дела Господа, Его чудеса в глубинах.25Он говорил, и восстал штормовой ветер, поднимая высокие волны.26Корабли восходили до небес и низвергались в бездну; душа моряков таяла в бедствии.27Они кружились и шатались, как пьяные, и вся мудрость их исчезла.28Но воззвали они к Господу в своем несчастье, и Он вывел их из бедствий.29Он превратил бурю в штиль, и умолкали морские волны.30Обрадовались люди, что волны утихли, и привел Он их к желаемой гавани.31Да славят Господа за Его милость и за Его чудесные дела для людей;32да превозносят Его в народном собрании и хвалят Его в кругу старейшин.33Он превращает реки в пустыню, источники вод – в сушу,34а плодородную землю – в солончак за нечестие живущих на ней.35И Он превращает пустыню в озеро и иссохшую землю – в источники вод.36Он поселяет в ней голодных, и они строят город для обитания,37засевают поля и насаждают виноградники, которые приносят обильные плоды.38Он благословляет их, и они весьма размножаются; не позволяет Он их стадам уменьшаться.39Но когда народ убывает, когда он унижен из-за угнетения, бедствия и скорби,40тогда Он изливает презрение на вождей и заставляет их блуждать в пустыне, где нет путей.41Бедного же Он возвышает из нищеты и умножает его род, как стадо овец.42Праведники видят это и радуются, а нечестивые закрывают свои уста.43Кто мудр, да уразумеет все это и поймет милость Господа.
Psalm 106
English Standard Version
Give Thanks to the Lord, for He Is Good
1Praise the Lord! Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! (1Chr 16,34; 1Chr 16,41; Ps 100,5; Ps 105,1; Ps 105,45)2Who can utter the mighty deeds of the Lord, or declare all his praise?3Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times! (Ps 15,2)4Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,[1] (Ps 119,132)5that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance. (Ps 105,6; Ps 105,43)6Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness. (3Mo 26,40; 1Kön 8,47; Esr 9,6; Neh 1,6; Neh 9,16; Ps 79,8; Jer 3,25; Jer 14,20; Dan 9,5)7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea. (2Mo 14,11; Ps 106,13; Ps 106,21)8Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make known his mighty power. (2Mo 9,16; Hes 20,9; Hes 20,14)9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry, and he led them through the deep as through a desert. (2Mo 14,21; Ps 18,15; Ps 104,7; Jes 50,2; Jes 51,10; Jes 63,13)10So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy. (2Mo 14,30; Ps 107,2)11And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left. (2Mo 14,28; 2Mo 15,5)12Then they believed his words; they sang his praise. (2Mo 14,31; 2Mo 15,1)13But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel. (2Mo 15,24; 2Mo 16,2; 2Mo 17,2; Ps 78,11; Ps 107,11)14But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert; (2Mo 17,2; 4Mo 11,4; Ps 78,18; 1Kor 10,6; 1Kor 10,9)15he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them. (Ps 78,29; Jes 10,16)16When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord, (4Mo 16,1; 5Mo 33,2; Sach 14,5; Jud 1,14)17the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. (4Mo 16,31; 5Mo 11,6)18Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. (4Mo 16,35)19They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image. (2Mo 32,4; 5Mo 9,8; Apg 7,41)20They exchanged the glory of God[2] for the image of an ox that eats grass. (Jer 2,11; Röm 1,23)21They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, (5Mo 32,18; Ps 78,11; Ps 106,7; Ps 106,13)22wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. (Ps 78,51; Ps 105,23; Ps 105,27)23Therefore he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them. (2Mo 32,10; 5Mo 9,14; Ps 105,6; Hes 20,8; Hes 22,30)24Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise. (4Mo 14,31; 5Mo 1,32; 5Mo 9,23; Sach 7,14)25They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the Lord. (4Mo 14,2; 5Mo 1,27)26Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness, (2Mo 6,8; 4Mo 14,30; 5Mo 32,40; Ps 95,11; Hes 20,6; Hes 20,15; Hes 20,23)27and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands. (Ps 44,11)28Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead; (4Mo 25,3; Jes 8,19; Hos 9,10)29they provoked the Lord to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.30Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stayed. (4Mo 25,7)31And that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever. (1Mo 15,6; 4Mo 25,10)32They angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account, (4Mo 20,2; 5Mo 1,37)33for they made his spirit bitter,[3] and he spoke rashly with his lips. (4Mo 20,10; Ps 78,40; Ps 107,11; Jes 63,10)34They did not destroy the peoples, as the Lord commanded them, (5Mo 7,2; 5Mo 7,16; Ri 1,21; Ri 1,27; Ri 2,2)35but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did. (Ri 3,5; Esr 9,2)36They served their idols, which became a snare to them. (2Mo 23,33; 5Mo 7,16; Ri 2,3)37They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; (5Mo 32,17; 2Kön 16,3; Jes 57,5; Hes 16,20; Hes 20,26; 1Kor 10,20)38they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. (Jes 24,5)39Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds. (Ps 73,27; Hes 20,18; Hes 20,30)40Then the anger of the Lord was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage; (Ri 2,14; Ps 28,9; Ps 78,59; Ps 78,62)41he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them. (Neh 9,27)42Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power. (Ri 4,3; Ri 10,12)43Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity. (3Mo 26,39; Ri 2,16; Ps 81,12)44Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry. (Ri 3,9; Ri 4,3; Ri 6,7; Ri 10,10)45For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love. (3Mo 26,42; Ps 51,1; Ps 69,16; Ps 90,13; Ps 105,8; Ps 106,7; Jes 63,7; Kla 3,32)46He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive. (1Kön 8,50; 2Chr 30,9; Esr 9,9; Neh 1,11; Jer 42,12)47Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise. (1Chr 16,35; Ps 107,3)48Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the Lord! (Ps 41,13; Ps 104,35)
