1Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
1Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
2Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.
2Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise?
3From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.
3Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.
4They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.
4Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,
5They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.
5that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.
6And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
6We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
7And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.
7Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.
8Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
8Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.
9For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.
10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.
10He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:
11The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.
12And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.
12Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.
13Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
13Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.
14And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.
14They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.
15Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
15So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
16Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.
16In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
17He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.
17The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.
18Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
18Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked.
19And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
19At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped a molten image.
20He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.
20They exchanged their Glory for the image of a grass-eating ox.
21Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
21They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,
22And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.
22wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:
23So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.
24These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
24They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.
25He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.
25They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
26They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.
26So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,
27They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
27to disperse their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
28And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.
28They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.
29And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.
29So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
30And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
30But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.
31Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
31It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
32And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
32At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.
33He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:
33For they rebelled against His Spirit, and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.
34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
34They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
35He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.
35but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
36And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.
36They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
37And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.
37They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
38They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.
39Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
39They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.
40Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
40So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.
41And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.
41He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
42The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
42Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.
43Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
43Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.
