^{1 Ref} Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness `endureth' forever.

^{2 Ref} Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?

^{3 Ref} Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.

^{4 Ref} Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,

^{5 Ref} 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 Ref} We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

^{7 Ref} 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 Ref} Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.

^{9 Ref} He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

^{10 Ref} And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

^{11 Ref} And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.

^{12 Ref} Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.

^{13 Ref} They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,

^{14 Ref} But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

^{15 Ref} And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

^{16 Ref} They envied Moses also in the camp, `And' Aaron the saint of Jehovah.

^{17 Ref} The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

^{18 Ref} And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

^{19 Ref} They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

^{20 Ref} Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

^{21 Ref} They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,

^{22 Ref} Wondrous works in the land of Ham, `And' terrible things by the Red Sea.

^{23 Ref} 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 Ref} Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,

^{25 Ref} But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

^{26 Ref} Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

^{27 Ref} And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

^{28 Ref} They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

^{29 Ref} Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.

^{30 Ref} Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.

^{31 Ref} And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.

^{32 Ref} They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;

^{33 Ref} Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

^{34 Ref} They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,

^{35 Ref} But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,

^{36 Ref} And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.

^{37 Ref} Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

^{38 Ref} 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 Ref} Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.

^{40 Ref} Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.

^{41 Ref} And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.

^{42 Ref} Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

^{43 Ref} Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.

^{44 Ref} Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:

^{45 Ref} And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

^{46 Ref} He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.

^{47 Ref} 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 Ref} Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.

^{1 Ref} Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, `is' His kindness.

^{2 Ref} Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?

^{3 Ref} O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.

^{4 Ref} Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.

^{5 Ref} To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.

^{6 Ref} We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.

^{7 Ref} Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.

^{8 Ref} And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,

^{9 Ref} And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

^{10 Ref} And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.

^{11 Ref} And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.

^{12 Ref} And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,

^{13 Ref} They have hasted -- forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.

^{14 Ref} And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.

^{15 Ref} And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.

^{16 Ref} And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.

^{17 Ref} Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.

^{18 Ref} And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.

^{19 Ref} They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,

^{20 Ref} And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.

^{21 Ref} They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,

^{22 Ref} Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.

^{23 Ref} And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.

^{24 Ref} And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.

^{25 Ref} And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.

^{26 Ref} And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,

^{27 Ref} And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.

^{28 Ref} And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

^{29 Ref} And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,

^{30 Ref} And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,

^{31 Ref} And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations -- unto the age.

^{32 Ref} And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,

^{33 Ref} For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.

^{34 Ref} They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,

^{35 Ref} And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,

^{36 Ref} And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.

^{37 Ref} And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,

^{38 Ref} And they shed innocent blood -- Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.

^{39 Ref} And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.

^{40 Ref} And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.

^{41 Ref} And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,

^{42 Ref} And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.

^{43 Ref} Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.

^{44 Ref} And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,

^{45 Ref} And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.

^{46 Ref} And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.

^{47 Ref} Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.

^{48 Ref} Blessed `is' Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, `Amen, praise Jah!'

^{1 Ref} Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his loving kindness endures forever.

^{2 Ref} Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, Or fully declare all his praise?

^{3 Ref} Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

^{4 Ref} Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,

^{5 Ref} That I may see the prosperity of your chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, That I may glory with your inheritance.

^{6 Ref} We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.

^{7 Ref} Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn't remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

^{8 Ref} Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, That he might make his mighty power known.

^{9 Ref} He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; So he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

^{10 Ref} He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

^{11 Ref} The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.

^{12 Ref} Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.

^{13 Ref} They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel,

^{14 Ref} But gave in to craving in the desert, And tested God in the wasteland.

^{15 Ref} He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

^{16 Ref} They envied Moses also in the camp, And Aaron, Yahweh's saint.

^{17 Ref} The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

^{18 Ref} A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.

^{19 Ref} They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped a molten image.

^{20 Ref} Thus they exchanged their glory For an image of a bull that eats grass.

^{21 Ref} They forgot God, their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,

^{22 Ref} Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And awesome things by the Red Sea.

^{23 Ref} Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.

^{24 Ref} Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn't believe his word,

^{25 Ref} But murmured in their tents, And didn't listen to Yahweh's voice.

^{26 Ref} Therefore he swore to them That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

^{27 Ref} That he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

^{28 Ref} They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

^{29 Ref} Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.

^{30 Ref} Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, So the plague was stopped.

^{31 Ref} That was credited to him for righteousness, For all generations to come.

^{32 Ref} They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

^{33 Ref} Because they were rebellious against his spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.

^{34 Ref} They didn't destroy the peoples, As Yahweh commanded them,

^{35 Ref} But mixed themselves with the nations, And learned their works.

^{36 Ref} They served their idols, Which became a snare to them.

^{37 Ref} Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

^{38 Ref} They shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.

^{39 Ref} Thus were they defiled with their works, And prostituted themselves in their deeds.

^{40 Ref} Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.

^{41 Ref} He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.

^{42 Ref} Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.

^{43 Ref} Many times he delivered them, But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.

^{44 Ref} Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry.

^{45 Ref} He remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

^{46 Ref} He made them also to be pitied By all those who carried them captive.

^{47 Ref} Save us, Yahweh, our God, Gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to your holy name, To triumph in your praise!
