[1] Praise Yahweh!    Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,	For his
lovingkindness endures forever. [2] Who can utter the mighty acts of
Yahweh,    Or fully declare all his praise? [3] Blessed are those who keep
justice,    He who does righteousness at all times. [4] Remember me,
Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your	   people.    Visit me with
your salvation, [5] That 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. [6] We have sinned with our fathers.    We have committed
iniquity.    We have done wickedly. [7] Our fathers didn`t understand your
wonders in Egypt.    They didn`t remember the multitude of your
lovingkindnesses,    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 known. [9] He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried
up;    So he led them through the depths, as through a desert. [10] He
saved them from the hand of him who hated them,    And redeemed them from
the hand of the enemy. [11] The waters covered their adversaries.    There
was not one of them left. [12] Then they believed his words.	They sang
his praise. [13] They soon forgot his works.	They didn`t wait for his
counsel, [14] But gave in to craving in the desert,    And tested God in
the wasteland. [15] He gave them their request,    But sent leanness into
their soul. [16] They envied Moses also in the camp,	And Aaron, Yahweh`s
saint. [17] The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,	 And covered the
company of Abiram. [18] 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 an image of a
bull that eats grass. [21] They forgot God, their Savior,    Who had done
great things in Egypt, [22] Wondrous works in the land of Ham,	  And
awesome things by the Red Sea. [23] Therefore 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. [24] Yes, they
despised the pleasant land.    They didn`t believe his word, [25] But
murmured in their tents,    And didn`t listen to the voice of Yahweh. [26]
Therefore he swore to them    That he would overthrow them in the
wilderness, [27] That he would overthrow their seed among the nations,	 
And scatter them in the lands. [28] They joined themselves also to
Baal-peor,    And ate the sacrifices of the dead. [29] Thus they provoked
him to anger with their deeds.	  The plague broke in on them. [30] Then
Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment,    So the plague was stopped.
[31] That was credited to him for righteousness,    To all generations
forevermore. [32] They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,    So
that Moses was troubled for their sakes; [33] Because they were rebellious
against his spirit,    He spoke rashly with his lips. [34] They didn`t
destroy the peoples,	As Yahweh commanded them, [35] But mingled
themselves with the nations,	Learned their works. [36] They served their
idols,	  Which became a snare to them. [37] Yes, they sacrificed their
sons and their daughters to demons. [38] They 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. [39] Thus were
they defiled with their works,	  And prostituted themselves in their
deeds. [40] Therefore the wrath of Yahweh was kindled against his people.  
 He abhorred his inheritance. [41] He gave them into the hand of the
nations.    Those who hated them ruled over them. [42] Their enemies also
oppressed them.    They were brought into subjection under their hand. [43]
Many times he delivered them,	 But they were rebellious in their counsel,
   And were brought low in their iniquity. [44] Nevertheless he regarded
their distress,    When he heard their cry. [45] He remembered for them his
covenant,    And repented according to the multitude of his
lovingkindnesses. [46] He made them also to be pitied	 By all those who
carried them captive. [47] Save us, Yahweh, our God,	Gather us from
among the nations,    To give thanks to your holy name,    To triumph in
your praise! [48] Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,    From everlasting
even to everlasting! Let all the people say, "Amen." Praise Yah!
