Psalm 106
Kies een berijming om te vergelijken
Vers 1
for bountiful is he;
His tender mercy doth endure
unto eternity.
Vers 2
or shew forth all his praise?
Blessed are they that judgment keep,
and justly do always.
Vers 3
which thou to thine dost bear;
With thy salvation, O my God,
to visit me draw near:
Vers 4
and in their joy rejoice;
And may with thine inheritance
triumph with cheerful voice.
Vers 5
and of iniquity
Too long we have the workers been;
we have done wickedly.
Vers 6
didst work in Egypt land,
Our fathers, though they saw, yet them
they did not understand:
Vers 7
kept not in memory;
But at the sea, ev’n the Red sea,
provok’d him grievously.
Vers 8
ev’n for his own name’s sake;
That so he might to be well known
his mighty power make.
Vers 9
then dried up it was:
Through depths, as through the wilderness,
he safely made them pass.
Vers 10
he did his people save;
And from the en’my’s cruel hand
to them redemption gave.
Vers 11
not one was left alive.
Then they believ’d his word,
and praise to him in songs did give.
Vers 12
forget unthankfully,
And on his counsel and his will
did not wait patiently;
Vers 13
and God in desert tempt.
He gave them what they sought, but to
their soul he leanness sent.
Vers 14
their envy did appear;
At Aaron they, the saint of God,
envious also were.
Vers 15
and Dathan did devour,
And all Abiram’s company
did cover in that hour.
Vers 16
a fire was kindled then;
And so the hot consuming flame
burnt up these wicked men.
Vers 17
an idol-calf did frame,
A molten image they did make,
and worshipped the same.
Vers 18
most vainly changed they
Into the likeness of an ox
that eateth grass or hay.
Vers 19
that had their saviour been,
By whom such great things brought to pass
they had in Egypt seen.
Vers 20
things terrible did he,
When he his mighty hand and arm
stretch’d out at the Red sea.
Vers 21
had not, his wrath to stay,
His chosen Moses stood in breach,
that them he should not slay.
Vers 22
believed not his word:
But in their tents they murmured,
not heark’ning to the Lord.
Vers 23
he lifted up his hand:
’Mong nations to o’erthrow their seed,
and scatter in each land.
Vers 24
themselves associate;
The sacrifices of the dead
they did profanely eat.
Vers 25
they did provoke his ire;
And then upon them suddenly
the plague brake in as fire.
Vers 26
and so the plague did cease;
That to all ages counted was
to him for righteousness.
Vers 27
they did him angry make,
In such sort, that it fared ill
with Moses for their sake:
Vers 28
provoked bitterly,
So that he utter’d with his lips
words unadvisedly.
Vers 29
did they the nations slay:
But with the heathen mingled were,
and learn’d of them their way.
Vers 30
a snare unto them turn.
Their sons and daughters they to dev’ls
in sacrifice did burn.
Vers 31
their hands they did imbrue,
Whom to Canaan’s idols they
for sacrifices slew:
Vers 32
They stain’d with their own way,
And with their own inventions
a whoring they did stray.
Vers 33
the wrath of God therefore,
Insomuch that he did his own
inheritance abhor.
Vers 34
their foes did them command.
Their en’mies them oppress’d, they were
made subject to their hand.
Vers 35
but with their counsel so
They him provok’d, that for their sin
they were brought very low.
Vers 36
when he did hear their cry:
And he for them his covenant
did call to memory;
Vers 37
he did repent: And made
Them to be pity’d of all those
who did them captive lead.
Vers 38
and gather the heathen from among,
That we thy holy name may praise
in a triumphant song.
Vers 39
to all eternity:
Let all the people say, Amen.
Praise to the Lord give ye.
