1Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
1Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
2Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises?
2Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.
3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times.
3Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation.
4Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
5That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.
5Remember his marvelous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
6We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.
6you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.
7He is the LORD, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
8And he saved them for his own name’s sake: that he might make his power known.
8He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.
9the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
10And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
10and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left.
11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
12And they believed his words: and they sang his praises.
12when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
13They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsels.
13They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.
14He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls.
15“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
16And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
16He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.
17He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
18And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.
18They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
19They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.
19until the time that his word happened, and the LORD’s word proved him true.
20And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.
20The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,
21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions,
22Wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.
22to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
23And 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.
23Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
24And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,
24He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
25He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
26And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;
26He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.
27They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
28He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words.
29And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them.
29He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
30Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased.
30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.
31And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore.
31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.
32They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes:
32He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
33Because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips.
33He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
34They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.
34He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number.
35And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:
35They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36And served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.
36He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
37And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.
37He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,
38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.
39And was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions.
39He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.
40And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.
40They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.
41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
42And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:
42For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43Many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.
43He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.
44And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.
44He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
45that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
46And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives.
