## Psalm 106 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.
2. Let those who have been redeemed by the Lord say so: those whom he redeemed from the hand of the enemy and gathered from the regions,
3. from the rising of the sun and its setting, from the north and from the sea.
4. They wandered into solitude in a waterless place. They did not find the way of the city to be their dwelling place.
5. They were hungry, and they were thirsty. Their soul fainted within them.
6. And they cried out to the Lord in tribulation, and he rescued them in their necessity.
7. And he led them in the right way, so that they might go forth to a city of habitation.
8. Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
9. For he has satisfied the empty soul, and he has satisfied the hungry soul with good things:
10. those sitting in darkness and in the shadow of death, shackled by extreme poverty and by iron.
11. For they exasperated the eloquence of God, and they irritated the deliberation of the Most High.
12. And their heart was brought low with hardships. They were weakened, and there was no one to help them.
13. And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he freed them from their distress.
14. And he led them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and he broke apart their chains.
15. Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
16. For he has crushed the gates of brass and broken the iron bars.
17. He has taken them up, from the way of their iniquity. For they were brought low, because of their injustices.
18. Their soul abhorred all food, and they drew near even to the gates of death.
19. And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he delivered them in their necessity.
20. He sent his word, and he healed them, and he rescued them from their utter destruction.
21. Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
22. And let them offer sacrifice with the sacrifice of praise, and let them announce his works in exultation.
23. Those who descend to the sea in ships, making their livelihood in the great waters:
24. these have seen the works of the Lord and his wonders in the deep.
25. He spoke: and a windstorm stood up, and its waves were exalted.
26. They ascend even to the heavens, and they descend even to the abyss. Their soul will waste away in distress.
27. They were troubled, and they moved like a drunkard, and all their wisdom was consumed.
28. And they cried out to the Lord in their tribulation, and he led them out of their distress.
29. And he replaced the storm with a breeze, and its waves were stilled.
30. And they were joyful that it was stilled, and he led them into the haven that they desired.
31. Let his mercies confess to the Lord, and let his miracles confess to the sons of men.
32. And let them exalt him in the Church of the people, and praise him in the chair of the elders.
33. He has placed rivers in the desert and sources of water in dry places,
34. a fruit-bearing land in the midst of brine, before the malice of those who dwell in it.
35. He has placed a desert in the midst of pools of waters, and a land without water in the midst of sources of water.
36. And he has gathered the hungry together there, and they constructed a city of habitation.
37. And they sowed fields and planted vineyards, and they produced the fruit of nativity.
38. And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly. And he did not diminish their beasts of burden.
39. And they became few, and they were afflicted by the tribulation of evils and of sorrow.
40. Contempt was poured over their leaders, and he caused them to wander in an impassable place, and not on the way.
41. And he helped the poor out of destitution, and he stationed families like sheep.
42. The upright will see, and they will rejoice. And every iniquity will block its mouth.
43. Who is wise and will keep these things? And who will understand the mercies of the Lord?

## Psalm 106 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Alleluja. Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in sæculum misericordia ejus.
2. Dicant qui redempti sunt a Domino, quos redemit de manu inimici, et de regionibus congregavit eos,
3. a solis ortu, et occasu, ab aquilone, et mari.
4. Erraverunt in solitudine, in inaquoso; viam civitatis habitaculi non invenerunt.
5. Esurientes et sitientes, anima eorum in ipsis defecit.
6. Et clamaverunt ad Dominum cum tribularentur, et de necessitatibus eorum eripuit eos;
7. et deduxit eos in viam rectam, ut irent in civitatem habitationis.
8. Confiteantur Domino misericordiæ ejus, et mirabilia ejus filiis hominum.
9. Quia satiavit animam inanem, et animam esurientem satiavit bonis.
10. Sedentes in tenebris et umbra mortis; vinctos in mendicitate et ferro.
11. Quia exacerbaverunt eloquia Dei, et consilium Altissimi irritaverunt.
12. Et humiliatum est in laboribus cor eorum; infirmati sunt, nec fuit qui adjuvaret.
13. Et clamaverunt ad Dominum cum tribularentur; et de necessitatibus eorum liberavit eos.
14. Et eduxit eos de tenebris et umbra mortis, et vincula eorum dirupit.
15. Confiteantur Domino misericordiæ ejus, et mirabilia ejus filiis hominum.
16. Quia contrivit portas æreas, et vectes ferreos confregit.
17. Suscepit eos de via iniquitatis eorum; propter injustitias enim suas humiliati sunt.
18. Omnem escam abominata est anima eorum, et appropinquaverunt usque ad portas mortis.
19. Et clamaverunt ad Dominum cum tribularentur, et de necessitatibus eorum liberavit eos.
20. Misit verbum suum, et sanavit eos, et eripuit eos de interitionibus eorum.
21. Confiteantur Domino misericordiæ ejus, et mirabilia ejus filiis hominum.
22. Et sacrificent sacrificium laudis, et annuntient opera ejus in exsultatione.
23. Qui descendunt mare in navibus, facientes operationem in aquis multis:
24. ipsi viderunt opera Domini, et mirabilia ejus in profundo.
25. Dixit, et stetit spiritus procellæ, et exaltati sunt fluctus ejus.
26. Ascendunt usque ad cælos, et descendunt usque ad abyssos; anima eorum in malis tabescebat.
27. Turbati sunt, et moti sunt sicut ebrius, et omnis sapientia eorum devorata est.
28. Et clamaverunt ad Dominum cum tribularentur; et de necessitatibus eorum eduxit eos.
29. Et statuit procellam ejus in auram, et siluerunt fluctus ejus.
30. Et lætati sunt quia siluerunt; et deduxit eos in portum voluntatis eorum.
31. Confiteantur Domino misericordiæ ejus, et mirabilia ejus filiis hominum.
32. Et exaltent eum in ecclesia plebis, et in cathedra seniorum laudent eum.
33. Posuit flumina in desertum, et exitus aquarum in sitim;
34. terram fructiferam in salsuginem, a malitia inhabitantium in ea.
35. Posuit desertum in stagna aquarum, et terram sine aqua in exitus aquarum.
36. Et collocavit illic esurientes, et constituerunt civitatem habitationis:
37. et seminaverunt agros et plantaverunt vineas, et fecerunt fructum nativitatis.
38. Et benedixit eis, et multiplicati sunt nimis; et jumenta eorum non minoravit.
39. Et pauci facti sunt et vexati sunt, a tribulatione malorum et dolore.
40. Effusa est contemptio super principes: et errare fecit eos in invio, et non in via.
41. Et adjuvit pauperem de inopia, et posuit sicut oves familias.
42. Videbunt recti, et lætabuntur; et omnis iniquitas oppilabit os suum.
43. Quis sapiens, et custodiet hæc, et intelliget misericordias Domini?
