Give Thanks to the LORD, for He Is Good

1Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.+ 2Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?+ 3Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.+ 4Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,+ 5That 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.+ 6We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.+ 7Our 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.+ 8Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.+ 9He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.+ 10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.+ 11And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.+ 12Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.+ 13They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,+ 14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.+ 15And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.+ 16They envied Moses also in the camp, [And] Aaron the saint of Jehovah.+ 17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.+ 18And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.+ 19They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.+ 20Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.+ 21They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,+ 22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible things by the Red Sea.+ 23Therefore 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].+ 24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,+ 25But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.+ 26Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,+ 27And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.+ 28They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.+ 29Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.+ 30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.+ 31And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.+ 32They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;+ 33Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.+ 34They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,+ 35But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,+ 36And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.+ 37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,+ 38And 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.+ 39Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.+ 40Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.+ 41And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.+ 42Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.+ 43Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.+ 44Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:+ 45And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.+ 46He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.+ 47Save 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.+ 48Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.+
