1 Praise you the LORD. O give thanks to the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endures for ever.

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can show forth all his praise?

3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that does righteousness at all times.

4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favor that you bore to your people: O visit me with your salvation;

5 That I may see the good of your chosen, 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 understood not your wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of your mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name' sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

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

11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

13 They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:

14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

16 They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.

18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eats grass.

21 They forgot God their savior, which had done great things in Egypt;

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

23 Therefore 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.

24 Yes, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

25 But murmured in their tents, and listened not to the voice of the LORD.

26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

28 They joined themselves also to Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague broke in on them.

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

31 And that was counted to him for righteousness to all generations for ever more.

32 They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

33 Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

35 But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

36 And they served their idols: which were a snare to them.

37 Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils,

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

39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, so that he abhorred his own inheritance.

41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

43 Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

45 And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks to your holy name, and to triumph in your praise.

48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise you the LORD.

1 Praise ye Jehovah.

Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;

For his lovingkindness endureth forever.

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah,

Or show forth all his praise?

3 Blessed are they that keep justice,

And he that doeth righteousness at all times.

4 Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people;

Oh visit me with thy salvation,

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.

8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake,

That he might make his mighty power to be known.

9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up:

So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them,

And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And the waters covered their adversaries;

There was not one of them left.

12 Then believed they his words;

They sang his praise.

13 They soon forgat his works;

They waited not for his counsel,

14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness,

And tempted God in the desert.

15 And he gave them their request,

But sent leanness into their soul.

16 They envied Moses also in the camp,

And Aaron the saint of Jehovah.

17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,

And covered the company of Abiram.

18 And a fire was kindled in their company;

The flame burned up the wicked.

19 They made a calf in Horeb,

And worshipped a molten image.

20 Thus they changed their glory

For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

21 They forgat God their Saviour,

Who had done great things in Egypt,

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham,

And terrible things by the Red Sea.

23 Therefore 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.

24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land,

They believed not his word,

25 But murmured in their tents,

And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

26 Therefore he sware unto them,

That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

27 And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations,

And scatter them in the lands.

28 They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor,

And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings;

And the plague brake in upon them.

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment;

And so the plague was stayed.

31 And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness,

Unto all generations for evermore.

32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,

So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;

33 Because they were rebellious against his spirit,

And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

34 They did not destroy the peoples,

As Jehovah commanded them,

35 But mingled themselves with the nations,

And learned their works,

36 And served their idols,

Which became a snare unto them.

37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

38 And shed innocent blood,

Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,

Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan;

And the land was polluted with blood.

39 Thus were they defiled with their works,

And played the harlot in their doings.

40 Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people,

And he abhorred his inheritance.

41 And he gave them into the hand of the nations;

And they that hated them ruled over them.

42 Their enemies also oppressed them,

And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

43 Many times did he deliver them;

But they were rebellious in their counsel,

And were brought low in their iniquity.

44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress,

When he heard their cry:

45 And he remembered for them his covenant,

And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

46 He made them also to be pitied

Of all those that carried them captive.

47 Save us, O Jehovah our God,

And gather us from among the nations,

To give thanks unto thy holy name,

And to triumph in thy praise.

48 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,

From everlasting even to everlasting.

And let all the people say, Amen.

Praise ye Jehovah.
