Give Thanks to the LORD, for He Is Good

1Praise ye the Lord. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.+ 2Who can utter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can shew forth all his praise?+ 3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.+ 4Remember me, O Lord, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;+ 5That 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.+ 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 mercies; but provoked him 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 the 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 enemies: 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 the Lord.+ 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 the molten image.+ 20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.+ 21They forgat God their saviour, which 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 the Lord.+ 26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:+ 27To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to 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 inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.+ 30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.+ 31And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.+ 32They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:+ 33Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.+ 34They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them:+ 35But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.+ 36And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.+ 37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,+ 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 own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.+ 40Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.+ 41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; 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 provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.+ 44Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:+ 45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.+ 46He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.+ 47Save 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.+ 48Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.+
