Psalm 106:5–7

5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones,

that I may share in the joy of your nation

and join your inheritance in giving praise.

6 We have sinned, even as our ancestors did;

we have done wrong and acted wickedly.

7 When our ancestors were in Egypt,

they gave no thought to your miracles;

they did not remember your many kindnesses,

and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.

5 That I may see the good of thy chosen,

That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation,

That I may glory with thine inheritance.

6 We have sinned with our fathers,

We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt;

They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies;

But provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

5 Let 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.

6 Like our ancestors, we have sinned.

We have done wrong! We have acted wickedly!

7 Our ancestors in Egypt

were 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.

5 That I may see the benefit of Your chosen ones,

That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,

That I may glory with Your inheritance.

6 We have sinned with our fathers,

We have committed iniquity,

We have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;

They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies,

But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

5 Let me see the good things you do for your chosen people.

Let me be happy along with your happy nation;

let me join your own people in praising you.

6 We have sinned just as our ancestors did.

We have done wrong; we have done evil.

7 Our ancestors in Egypt

did not learn from your miracles.

They did not remember all your kindnesses,

so they turned against you at the Red Sea.

5 That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen,

That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation,

That I may glory with thine inheritance.

6 We have sinned with our fathers,

We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt;

They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses,

But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

5 That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7 Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.

5 so that I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, 

find joy in our people’s happiness, 

and brag with the people who belong to you. 

6 We have sinned, and so did our ancestors. 

We have done wrong. 

We are guilty. 

7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, 

they gave no thought to your miracles. 

They did not remember your numerous acts of mercy, 

so they rebelled at the sea, the Red Sea. 

5 so that I may enjoy the prosperity

of Your chosen ones,

rejoice in the joy of Your nation,

and boast about Your heritage.

6 Both we and our fathers have sinned;

we have done wrong and have acted wickedly.

7 Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp

the significance of Your wonderful works

or remember Your many acts of faithful love;

instead, they rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

5 that we may see the prosperity of your chosen ones,

that we may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,

that we may glory in your heritage.

6 Both we and our ancestors have sinned;

we have committed iniquity, have done wickedly.

7 Our ancestors, when they were in Egypt,

did not consider your wonderful works;

they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love

but rebelled against the Most High at the Red Sea.

5 that I may see the good done your chosen ones,

to be glad in the joy of your nation,

to glory together with your inheritance.

6 We have sinned along with our ancestors.

We have committed iniquity; we have incurred guilt.

7 Our ancestors in Egypt did not understand your wonderful works.

They did not remember your many acts of loyal love,

and so they rebelled by the sea at the Red Sea.

5 Then 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.

6 We have sinned, just as our people of long ago did.

We too have done what is evil and wrong.

7 When 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.

5 That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones,

That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation,

That I may glory with Your inheritance.

6 We have sinned like our fathers,

We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

7 Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;

They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses,

But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
