Psaumes 106

1Alleluia ! Célébrez Yahweh, car il est bon, car sa miséricorde est éternelle.

2Qui dira les hauts faits de Yahweh ! Qui publiera toute sa gloire ?

3Heureux ceux qui observent la loi, qui accomplissent la justice en tout temps !

4Souviens-toi de moi, Yahweh, dans ta bonté pour ton peuple, visite-moi avec ton secours,

5afin que je voie le bonheur de tes élus, que je me réjouisse de la joie de ton peuple, et que je me glorifie avec ton héritage.

6Nous avons péché comme nos pères, nous avons commis l’iniquité, nous avons fait le mal.

7Nos pères en Égypte n’eurent pas d’égard à tes prodiges, ils ne se souvinrent pas de la multitude de tes grâces, ils se sont révoltés à la mer, à la mer Rouge.

8Il les sauva pourtant à cause de son nom, pour faire éclater sa puissance.

9Il menaça la mer Rouge, et elle se dessécha ; et il les fit marcher à travers l’abîme comme dans un désert.

10Il les sauva de la main de celui qui les haïssait, il les délivra de la main de l’oppresseur.

11Les flots couvrirent leurs adversaires, pas un seul n’échappa.

12Ils crurent alors à ses paroles, ils chantèrent ses louanges.

13Mais ils oublièrent bientôt ses œuvres, ils n’attendirent pas qu’il exécutât ses desseins.

14Ils furent pris de convoitise dans le désert, et ils tentèrent Dieu dans la solitude.

15Il leur accorda ce qu’ils demandaient, mais il les frappa de consomption.

16Puis ils furent jaloux de Moïse dans le camp, et d’Aaron, le saint de Yahweh.

17La terre s’ouvrit et engloutit Dathan, et elle se referma sur la troupe d’Abiron ;

18Le feu dévora leur troupe, la flamme consuma les méchants.

19Ils firent un veau au mont Horeb, ils se prosternèrent devant une image de métal fondu ;

20Ils échangèrent leur gloire contre la figure d’un bœuf qui mange l’herbe.

21Ils oublièrent Dieu, leur sauveur, qui avait fait de grandes choses en Égypte,

22des miracles dans le pays de Cham, des prodiges à la mer Rouge.

23Il parlait de les exterminer, si Moïse, son élu, ne se fût tenu sur la brèche devant lui, pour empêcher sa colère de les détruire.

24Ils dédaignèrent la terre de délices, ils ne crurent pas à la parole de Yahweh ;

25ils murmurèrent dans leurs tentes, et n’obéirent pas à sa voix.

26Alors il leva la main contre eux, jurant de les faire périr dans le désert,

27de faire périr leur race parmi les nations, et de les disperser en d’autres contrées.

28Ils s’attachèrent à Béelphégor et mangèrent des victimes offertes aux morts.

29Ils irritèrent Yahweh par leurs actions, et un fléau fit irruption parmi eux.

30Phinées se leva et donna satisfaction, et le fléau fut arrêté.

31Cette action fut imputée à justice, d’âge en âge, à jamais.

32Ils irritèrent Yahweh aux eaux de Mériba, et Moïse eut à souffrir à cause d’eux ;

33car ils aigrirent son esprit, et il prononça des paroles inconsidérées.

34Ils n’exterminèrent point les peuples que Yahweh leur avait ordonné de détruire.

35Ils se mêlèrent aux nations, et ils apprirent leurs œuvres.

36Ils servirent leurs idoles, qui furent pour eux un piège.

37Ils immolèrent leurs fils et leurs filles aux démons.

38Ils versèrent le sang innocent, le sang de leurs fils et de leurs filles, qu’ils sacrifiaient aux idoles de Chanaan ; et le pays fut profané par des meurtres.

39Ils se souillèrent par leurs œuvres, ils se prostituèrent par leurs actions.

40La colère de Yahweh s’alluma contre son peuple, et il prit en horreur son héritage.

41Il les livra entre les mains des nations, ceux qui les haïssaient dominèrent sur eux.

42Leurs ennemis les opprimèrent, et ils furent humiliés sous leur main.

43Bien des fois il les délivra, mais ils furent rebelles dans leurs desseins, et se perdirent par leurs iniquités.

44Néanmoins, il regarda leur détresse, lorsqu’il entendit leurs supplications.

45Il se souvint en leur faveur de son alliance, il eut pitié d’eux selon sa grande bonté,

46et il en fit l’objet de ses miséricordes, devant tous ceux qui les tenaient captifs.

47Sauve-nous Yahweh, notre Dieu, et rassemble-nous du milieu des nations, afin que nous célébrions ton saint nom, et que nous mettions notre gloire à te louer.

48Béni soit Yahweh, Dieu d’Israël, d’éternité en éternité ! Et que tout le peuple dise : Amen ! Alleluia ! Psaumes Livres

1Alleluja. [Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in sæculum misericordia ejus.

2Quis loquetur potentias Domini; auditas faciet omnes laudes ejus?

3Beati qui custodiunt judicium, et faciunt justitiam in omni tempore.

4Memento nostri, Domine, in beneplacito populi tui; visita nos in salutari tuo:

5ad videndum in bonitate electorum tuorum; ad lætandum in lætitia gentis tuæ: ut lauderis cum hæreditate tua.

6Peccavimus cum patribus nostris: injuste egimus; iniquitatem fecimus.

7Patres nostri in Ægypto non intellexerunt mirabilia tua; non fuerunt memores multitudinis misericordiæ tuæ. Et irritaverunt ascendentes in mare, mare Rubrum;

8et salvavit eos propter nomen suum, ut notam faceret potentiam suam.

9Et increpuit mare Rubrum et exsiccatum est, et deduxit eos in abyssis sicut in deserto.

10Et salvavit eos de manu odientium, et redemit eos de manu inimici.

11Et operuit aqua tribulantes eos; unus ex eis non remansit.

12Et crediderunt verbis ejus, et laudaverunt laudem ejus.

13Cito fecerunt; obliti sunt operum ejus: et non sustinuerunt consilium ejus.

14Et concupierunt concupiscentiam in deserto, et tentaverunt Deum in inaquoso.

15Et dedit eis petitionem ipsorum, et misit saturitatem in animas eorum.

16Et irritaverunt Moysen in castris; Aaron, sanctum Domini.

17Aperta est terra, et deglutivit Dathan, et operuit super congregationem Abiron.

18Et exarsit ignis in synagoga eorum: flamma combussit peccatores.

19Et fecerunt vitulum in Horeb, et adoraverunt sculptile.

20Et mutaverunt gloriam suam in similitudinem vituli comedentis fœnum.

21Obliti sunt Deum qui salvavit eos; qui fecit magnalia in Ægypto,

22mirabilia in terra Cham, terribilia in mari Rubro.

23Et dixit ut disperderet eos, si non Moyses, electus ejus, stetisset in confractione in conspectu ejus, ut averteret iram ejus, ne disperderet eos.

24Et pro nihilo habuerunt terram desiderabilem; non crediderunt verbo ejus.

25Et murmuraverunt in tabernaculis suis; non exaudierunt vocem Domini.

26Et elevavit manum suam super eos ut prosterneret eos in deserto:

27et ut dejiceret semen eorum in nationibus, et dispergeret eos in regionibus.

28Et initiati sunt Beelphegor, et comederunt sacrificia mortuorum.

29Et irritaverunt eum in adinventionibus suis, et multiplicata est in eis ruina.

30Et stetit Phinees, et placavit, et cessavit quassatio.

31Et reputatum est ei in justitiam, in generationem et generationem usque in sempiternum.

32Et irritaverunt eum ad aquas contradictionis, et vexatus est Moyses propter eos:

33quia exacerbaverunt spiritum ejus, et distinxit in labiis suis.

34Non disperdiderunt gentes quas dixit Dominus illis:

35et commisti sunt inter gentes, et didicerunt opera eorum;

36et servierunt sculptilibus eorum, et factum est illis in scandalum.

37Et immolaverunt filios suos et filias suas dæmoniis.

38Et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem, sanguinem filiorum suorum et filiarum suarum, quas sacrificaverunt sculptilibus Chanaan. Et infecta est terra in sanguinibus,

39et contaminata est in operibus eorum: et fornicati sunt in adinventionibus suis.

40Et iratus est furore Dominus in populum suum, et abominatus est hæreditatem suam.

41Et tradidit eos in manus gentium; et dominati sunt eorum qui oderunt eos.

42Et tribulaverunt eos inimici eorum, et humiliati sunt sub manibus eorum;

43sæpe liberavit eos. Ipsi autem exacerbaverunt eum in consilio suo, et humiliati sunt in iniquitatibus suis.

44Et vidit cum tribularentur, et audivit orationem eorum.

45Et memor fuit testamenti sui, et pœnituit eum secundum multitudinem misericordiæ suæ:

46et dedit eos in misericordias, in conspectu omnium qui ceperant eos.

47Salvos nos fac, Domine Deus noster, et congrega nos de nationibus: ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo, et gloriemur in laude tua.

48Benedictus Dominus Deus Israël, a sæculo et usque in sæculum; et dicet omnis populus: Fiat, fiat.]

1Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises?

3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times.

4Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation.

5That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.

6We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.

7Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.

8And he saved them for his own name’s sake: that he might make his power known.

9And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.

10And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left.

12And they believed his words: and they sang his praises.

13They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsels.

14And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.

15And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls.

16And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.

18And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.

19They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.

20And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.

21They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

22Wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.

23And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

24And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,

25And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.

26And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;

27And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.

28They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them.

30Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased.

31And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore.

32They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes:

33Because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips.

34They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.

35And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:

36And served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.

37And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.

38And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,

39And was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions.

40And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.

41And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.

42And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:

43Many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.

44And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.

45And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

46And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives.

47Save us, O Lord, our God: and gather us from among nations: That we may give thanks to thy holy name, and may glory in thy praise.

48Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.
