¹ Praise Jehovah! Give thanks to Jehovah, for He is good; for His mercy endures forever.

² Who can express the mighty deeds of Jehovah, or cause all His praise to be heard?

³ Blessed are those keeping judgment, he who does righteousness in every season.

⁴ Remember me, Jehovah, with the favor of Your people; O visit me with Your salvation,

⁵ to see the good of Your chosen ones to rejoice in the joy of Your nation, to glory with Your inheritance.

⁶ We have sinned with our fathers; we did iniquity; we did wrong.

⁷ Our fathers did not understand Your wonders in Egypt; they did not remember Your many mercies, and they rebelled at the sea, at the Sea of Reeds.

⁸ But He saved them for His name's sake, to make known His might.

⁹ And He rebuked the Sea of Reeds; and it dried up; and He made them go through the depths as through the wilderness.

¹⁰ And He saved them from the hand of the hater, and ransomed him from the hand of the enemy;

¹¹ and waters covered their enemies; not one of them was left.

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

¹³ They hurried and forgot His works; they did not wait for His counsel;

¹⁴ and they greedily lusted in the wilderness, and tested God in the desert.

¹⁵ And He gave their request to them, but sent wasting into their soul.

¹⁶ And they were jealous of Moses the saint of Jehovah in the camp of Aaron;

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

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

¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, and fell down before the casted image;

²⁰ and they changed their Glory into the image of an ox eating grass.

²¹ They forgot God their deliverer, doing great things in Egypt;

²² wonders in the land of Ham; awesome things by the Sea of Reeds.

²³ And He said to destroy them; except Moses His chosen one had stood before Him in the breach, to turn away His wrath from destroying them .

²⁴ They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His word.

²⁵ And they murmured in their tents, not listening to the voice of Jehovah;

²⁶ and He lifted up His hand to them, to make them fall in the wilderness;

²⁷ to make their seed fall also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

²⁸ They also were joined to Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;

²⁹ and provoked Him with their deeds; and a plague broke out among them.

³⁰ Then Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was stayed;

³¹ and it was counted to him for righteousness to generation and generation, forever.

³² And they angered Him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill for Moses because of them;

³³ for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke rashly with his lips.

³⁴ They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah said to them,

³⁵ but mixed with the nations, and learned their works.

³⁶ And they served their idols, and they became a snare to them.

³⁷ Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons;

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

³⁹ And they were unclean with their works, and went whoring in their acts.

⁴⁰ And the anger of Jehovah burned against His people; and He detested His inheritance.

⁴¹ And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and those who hated them ruled over them.

⁴² And their enemies oppressed them and they were humbled under their hand.

⁴³ Many times He delivered them, but they rebelled in their plans, and sank in their iniquities.

⁴⁴ And He looked on their affliction when He heard their shout;

⁴⁵ He remembered His covenant for them, and breathed a sigh, according to His many mercies.

⁴⁶ And He gave them to tender mercies before all their captors.

⁴⁷ Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, to give thanks to Your holy name, to exult in Your praise.

⁴⁸ Blessed is Jehovah God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen! Praise Jehovah!
