- Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!
- 2
- Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD, or declare all his praise?
- 3
- Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times!
- 4
- Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,
- 5
- that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
- 6
- Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness.
- 7
- Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
- 8
- Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make known his mighty power.
- 9
- He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry, and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
- 10
- So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy.
- 11
- And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left.
- 12
- Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.
- 13
- But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel.
- 14
- But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert;
- 15
- he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them.
- 16
- When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,
- 17
- the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
- 18
- Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
- 19
- They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image.
- 20
- They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass.
- 21
- They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
- 22
- wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
- 23
- Therefore he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
- 24
- Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise.
- 25
- They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD.
- 26
- Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
- 27
- and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands.
- 28
- Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead;
- 29
- they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
- 30
- Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stayed.
- 31
- And that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever.
- 32
- They angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account,
- 33
- for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke rashly with his lips.
- 34
- They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
- 35
- but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did.
- 36
- They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
- 37
- They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;
- 38
- they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.
- 39
- Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds.
- 40
- Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage;
- 41
- he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them.
- 42
- Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power.
- 43
- Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity.
- 44
- Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry.
- 45
- For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love.
- 46
- He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive.
- 47
- Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.
- 48
- Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD!
