1Halleluja! Dankt dem HERRN, denn er ist gut und seine Gnade bleibt ewig bestehen. (1Chr 16,34; Ps 100,4; Ps 105,1)2Wer kann alle herrlichen Wunder des HERRN aufzählen? Wer lobt ihn so, wie es ihm gebührt?3Glücklich sind die, die seine Gebote halten und immer tun, was recht ist. (Ps 15,2)4HERR, denke auch an mich, wenn du deinem Volk gnädig bist, und hilf auch mir. (Ps 44,4)5Lass mich teilhaben am Glück deiner Auserwählten. Lass mich mit einstimmen in den Jubel deines Volkes und dich zusammen mit denen loben, die zu dir gehören. (Ps 1,3; Ps 105,3; Ps 118,15)6Wie unsere Vorfahren, so haben auch wir gesündigt. Wir haben Unrecht begangen und gegen dich gehandelt. (2Chr 30,7; Esr 9,7; Neh 1,7; Sach 1,4)7Unsere Vorfahren in Ägypten verstanden deine Wunder nicht. Schon bald vergaßen sie die vielen Beweise deiner Güte und lehnten sich am Roten Meer[1] gegen dich auf. (Ri 3,7)8Dennoch rettete er sie – um der Ehre seines Namens willen und um seine große Macht zu zeigen. (Hes 20,9)9Er befahl dem Meer[2], sich zu teilen, und es wurde trocken. Er führte Israel über den Meeresgrund, der trocken war wie eine Wüste. (2Mo 14,21; Jes 63,11)10Auf diese Weise rettete er sein Volk vor seinen Feinden und befreite es von seinen Gegnern.11Danach strömte das Wasser wieder zurück und bedeckte ihre Feinde, nicht ein Einziger von ihnen blieb am Leben. (2Mo 15,5)12Da glaubten sie an sein Wort und lobten ihn mit Liedern.13Doch wie rasch vergaßen sie wieder, was er getan hatte, und warteten nicht auf seinen Rat.14In der Wüste entflammten ihre Begierden und sie stellten Gottes Geduld in der Einöde auf die Probe. (4Mo 11,4)15Schließlich gab er ihnen, worum sie gebeten hatten, doch er schickte ihnen auch eine Seuche. (Ps 78,29)16Die Menschen im Lager wurden eifersüchtig auf Mose und beneideten Aaron, den heiligen Priester des HERRN. (4Mo 16,1)17Deshalb tat sich die Erde auf und verschlang Datan und begrub Abiram und die anderen Aufrührer. (5Mo 11,6)18Feuer fiel auf ihre Anhänger und eine Flamme verzehrte die Gottlosen. (4Mo 16,35)19Am Berg Sinai[3] machten sich die Menschen ein Kalb und verneigten sich vor einem goldenen Götzen. (Apg 7,41)20Sie tauschten ihren herrlichen Gott ein gegen das Bild eines Gras fressenden Ochsen! (Jer 2,11; Röm 1,23)21Sie vergaßen Gott, ihren Retter, der in Ägypten so große Taten vollbracht hatte, (5Mo 10,21)22so wundervolle Taten in jenem Land, und so Schreckliches am Roten Meer. (Ps 105,27)23Deshalb schwor er, dass er sie vernichten wolle. Doch Mose, sein Erwählter, trat zwischen den HERRN und das Volk und flehte ihn an, von seinem Zorn abzulassen und sie nicht zu vernichten. (2Mo 32,10)24Dann wollten sie das schöne Land nicht betreten, denn sie glaubten Gottes Worten nicht. (Jer 3,19)25Sie murrten in ihren Zelten und verweigerten dem HERRN den Gehorsam.26Deshalb schwor er, dass er sie in der Wüste töten wolle, (Hebr 3,11)27dass er ihre Nachkommen unter den Völkern verstreuen und sie in ferne Länder führen würde.28Da beteten unsere Väter den Götzen Baal in Peor an und aßen von Opfern, die Toten dargebracht wurden! (Hos 9,10)29Damit weckten sie den Zorn des HERRN, und es brach eine Seuche unter ihnen aus.30Doch Pinhas hatte den Mut zu handeln und hielt Gericht, und die Plage hörte auf. (4Mo 25,7)31Sein Handeln machte ihn vor Gott gerecht, ihn und alle seine Kinder von nun an bis in Ewigkeit.32Auch bei Meriba forderten sie den Zorn des HERRN heraus und brachten Mose in große Bedrängnis. (Ps 78,40)33Sie machten Mose zornig[4], und er fing an, unbedacht zu reden.34Sie vernichteten die anderen Völker nicht, wie der HERR es ihnen befohlen hatte. (Ri 1,21)35Stattdessen vermischten sie sich mit ihnen und übernahmen ihre Bräuche.36Sie beteten ihre Götzen an, und das führte sie ins Verderben.37Sie opferten sogar ihre Söhne und Töchter den Dämonen. (2Kön 17,17)38So vergossen sie unschuldiges Blut, das Blut ihrer Söhne und Töchter, die sie den Götzen Kanaans opferten und das Land mit Blut beschmutzten.39Sie verunreinigten sich durch ihre bösen Taten und brachen Gott die Treue. (Hos 4,12)40Deshalb entbrannte der Zorn des HERRN gegen sein Volk, und er verabscheute sein eigenes Volk. (Ri 2,12)41Er lieferte sie den anderen Völkern aus, und die sie hassten, herrschten nun über sie. (Neh 9,27)42Ihre Feinde zertraten sie und unterdrückten sie grausam.43Immer wieder befreite er sie, aber sie lehnten sich weiter gegen ihn auf und kamen durch ihre Sünde um. (Ri 6,6; Ps 81,13)44Doch noch immer hatte er Mitleid mit ihnen und erhörte ihre Schreie.45Er dachte an seinen Bund mit ihnen und bereute in seiner Gnade seinen Zorn. (3Mo 26,42)46Er ließ sie Erbarmen finden bei allen, die sie gefangen hielten. (2Chr 30,9; Esr 9,9)47HERR, unser Gott, rette uns! Sammle uns wieder aus den Völkern, damit wir deinen heiligen Namen preisen und uns freuen, dass wir dich loben können. (1Chr 16,1)48Gelobt sei der HERR, der Gott Israels, bis in alle Ewigkeit! Und das ganze Volk soll sprechen: »Amen!« Halleluja!
Psalm 106
New International Reader’s Version
von Biblica1Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, because he is good. His faithful love continues for ever.2Who can speak enough about the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can praise him as much as he should be praised?3Blessed are those who always do what is fair. Blessed are those who keep doing what is right.4LORD, remember me when you bless your people. Help me when you save them.5Then I will enjoy the good things you give your chosen ones. I will be joyful together with your people. I will join them when they praise you.6We have sinned, just as our people of long ago did. We too have done what is evil and wrong.7When our people were in Egypt, they forgot about the LORD’s miracles. They didn’t remember his many kind acts. At the Red Sea they refused to obey him.8But he saved them for the honour of his name. He did it to make his mighty power known.9He ordered the Red Sea to dry up, and it did. He led his people through it as if it were a desert.10He saved them from the power of their enemies. He set them free from their control.11The waters covered their enemies. Not one of them escaped alive.12Then his people believed his promises and sang praise to him.13But they soon forgot what he had done. They didn’t wait for what he had planned to happen.14In the desert they longed for food. In that dry and empty land they tested God.15So he gave them what they asked for. But he also sent a disease that killed many of them.16In their camp some of them became jealous of Moses and Aaron. Aaron had been set apart to serve the LORD.17The ground opened up and swallowed Dathan. It buried Abiram and his followers.18Fire blazed among all of them. Flames destroyed those evil people.19At Mount Horeb they made a metal statue of a bull calf. They worshipped that statue of a god.20They traded their glorious God for a statue of a bull that eats grass.21They forgot the God who saved them. They forgot the God who had done great things in Egypt.22They forgot the miracles he did in the land of Ham. They forgot the wonderful things he did by the Red Sea.23So he said he would destroy them. But Moses, his chosen one, stood up for them. He kept God’s anger from destroying them.24Later on, they refused to enter the pleasant land of Canaan. They didn’t believe God’s promise.25In their tents they told the LORD how unhappy they were. They didn’t obey him.26So he lifted up his hand and promised that he would make them die in the desert.27He promised he would scatter their children’s children among the nations. He would make them die in other lands.28They joined in worshipping the Baal that was worshipped at Peor. They ate food that had been offered to gods that aren’t even alive.29Their evil ways made the LORD angry. So a plague broke out among them.30But Phinehas stood up and took action. Then the plague stopped.31What Phinehas did made him right with the LORD. It will be remembered for all time to come.32By the waters of Meribah the LORD’s people made him angry. Moses got in trouble because of them.33They refused to obey the Spirit of God. So Moses spoke without thinking.34They didn’t destroy the nations in Canaan as the LORD had commanded them.35Instead, they mixed with those nations and adopted their ways.36They worshipped statues of their gods. That became a trap for them.37They sacrificed their sons and daughters as offerings to false gods.38They killed those who weren’t guilty of doing anything wrong. They killed their own sons and daughters. They sacrificed them as offerings to statues of the gods of Canaan. The land became ‘unclean’ because of the blood of their children.39The people made themselves impure by what they had done. They weren’t faithful to the LORD.40So the LORD became angry with his people. He turned away from his own children.41He handed them over to the nations. Their enemies ruled over them.42Their enemies treated them badly and kept them under their power.43Many times the LORD saved them. But they refused to obey him. So he destroyed them because of their sins.44Yet he heard them when they cried out. He paid special attention to their suffering.45Because they were his people, he remembered his covenant. Because of his great love, he felt sorry for them.46He made all those who held them as prisoners have mercy on them.47LORD our God, save us. Bring us back from among the nations. Then we will give thanks to you, because your name is holy. We will celebrate by praising you.48Give praise to the LORD, the God of Israel, for ever and ever. Let all the people say, ‘Amen!’ Praise the LORD.
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)
