| 1 | Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever. |
| 2 | Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard? |
| 3 | Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times. |
| 4 | Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation; |
| 5 | That I may behold 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 done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly. |
| 7 | Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; 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 | And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and 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 forgot His works; They waited not for His counsel; |
| 14 | But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tried God in the desert. |
| 15 | And He gave them their request; But sent leanness into their soul. |
| 16 | They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron the holy one 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 a molten image. |
| 20 | Thus they exchanged their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass. |
| 21 | They forgot God their saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt; |
| 22 | Wondrous works in the land of Ham, 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 back His wrath, lest He should destroy them. |
| 24 | Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, They believed not His word; |
| 25 | And they murmured in their tents, They hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. |
| 26 | Therefore He swore concerning them, That He would overthrow them in the wilderness; |
| 27 | And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands. |
| 28 | They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead. |
| 29 | Thus they provoked Him with their doings, And the plague broke in upon them. |
| 30 | Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, And so the plague was stayed. |
| 31 | And that was counted unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for ever. |
| 32 | They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, And it went ill with Moses because of them; |
| 33 | For they embittered his spirit, And he spoke rashly with his lips. |
| 34 | They did not destroy the peoples, As the LORD commanded them; |
| 35 | But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works; |
| 36 | And they 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 went astray in their doings. |
| 40 | Therefore was the wrath of the LORD 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 subdued under their hand. |
| 43 | Many times did He deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And sank low through their iniquity. |
| 44 | Nevertheless He looked upon their distress, 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 captive. |
| 47 | Save us, O LORD our God, And gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks unto Thy holy name, That we may triumph in Thy praise. |
| 48 | Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting, and let all the people say: 'Amen.' Hallelujah. |
