Give Thanks to the LORD, for He Is Good

¹Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, is His kindness.+ ²Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?+ ³O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.+ ⁴Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.+ ⁵To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.+ ⁶We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.+ ⁷Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.+ ⁸And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,+ ⁹And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.+ ¹⁰And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.+ ¹¹And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.+ ¹²And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,+ ¹³They have hasted--forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.+ ¹⁴And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.+ ¹⁵And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.+ ¹⁶And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.+ ¹⁷Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.+ ¹⁸And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.+ ¹⁹They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,+ ²⁰And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.+ ²¹They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,+ ²²Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.+ ²³And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.+ ²⁴And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.+ ²⁵And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.+ ²⁶And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,+ ²⁷And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.+ ²⁸And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,+ ²⁹And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,+ ³⁰And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,+ ³¹And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations--unto the age.+ ³²And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,+ ³³For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.+ ³⁴They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,+ ³⁵And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,+ ³⁶And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.+ ³⁷And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,+ ³⁸And they shed innocent blood--Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.+ ³⁹And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.+ ⁴⁰And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.+ ⁴¹And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,+ ⁴²And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.+ ⁴³Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.+ ⁴⁴And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,+ ⁴⁵And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.+ ⁴⁶And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.+ ⁴⁷Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.+ ⁴⁸Blessed is Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, `Amen, praise Jah!'+
