1061Praise Yahweh!Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,for his loving kindness endures forever.+2Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh,or fully declare all his praise?+3Blessed are those who keep justice.Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.+4Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people.Visit me with your salvation,+5that 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.+6We have sinned with our fathers.We have committed iniquity.We have done wickedly.+7Our 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.+8Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake,that he might make his mighty power known.+9He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up;so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.+10He saved them from the hand of him who hated them,and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.+11The waters covered their adversaries.There was not one of them left.+12Then they believed his words.They sang his praise.+13They soon forgot his works.They didn’t wait for his counsel,+14but gave in to craving in the desert,and tested God in the wasteland.+15He gave them their request,but sent leanness into their soul.+16They envied Moses also in the camp,and Aaron, Yahweh’s saint.+17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,and covered the company of Abiram.+18A fire was kindled in their company.The flame burned up the wicked.+19They made a calf in Horeb,and worshiped a molten image.+20Thus they exchanged their gloryfor an image of a bull that eats grass.+21They forgot God, their Savior,who had done great things in Egypt,+22Wondrous works in the land of Ham,and awesome things by the Red Sea.+23Therefore 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.+24Yes, they despised the pleasant land.They didn’t believe his word,+25but murmured in their tents,and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.+26Therefore he swore to themthat he would overthrow them in the wilderness,+27that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations,and scatter them in the lands.+28They joined themselves also to Baal Peor,and ate the sacrifices of the dead.+29Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds.The plague broke in on them.+30Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment,so the plague was stopped.+31That was credited to him for righteousness,for all generations to come.+32They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;+33because they were rebellious against his spirit,he spoke rashly with his lips.+34They didn’t destroy the peoples,as Yahweh commanded them,+35but mixed themselves with the nations,and learned their works.+36They served their idols,which became a snare to them.+37Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.+38They 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.+39Thus were they defiled with their works,and prostituted themselves in their deeds.+40Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people.He abhorred his inheritance.+41He gave them into the hand of the nations.Those who hated them ruled over them.+42Their enemies also oppressed them.They were brought into subjection under their hand.+43He rescued them many times,but they were rebellious in their counsel,and were brought low in their iniquity.+44Nevertheless he regarded their distress,when he heard their cry.+45He remembered for them his covenant,and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.+46He made them also to be pitiedby all those who carried them captive.+47Save us, Yahweh, our God,gather us from among the nations,to give thanks to your holy name,to triumph in your praise!+48Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,from everlasting even to everlasting!Let all the people say, “Amen.”Praise Yah!+Footnotes (1)
