^{1 Ref} Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

^{2 Ref} Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?

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

^{4 Ref} Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

^{5 Ref} 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 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 mercies; but provoked him 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 the 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 enemies: 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 the LORD.

^{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 the molten image.

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

^{21 Ref} They forgat God their saviour, which 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 the LORD.

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

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

^{28 Ref} They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

^{29 Ref} Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: 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 counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

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

^{33 Ref} Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

^{34 Ref} They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

^{35 Ref} But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

^{36 Ref} And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

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

^{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 own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

^{40 Ref} Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

^{41 Ref} And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; 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 provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

^{44 Ref} Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

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

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

^{47 Ref} Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

^{48 Ref} Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.

^{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!'
