1Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
1Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
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 express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?
3From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.
3Happy are they that keep justice, that do 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, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;
5They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.
5That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.
6And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
6We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.
7And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.
7Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
8Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
9For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
9And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.
10And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:
11And the waters covered their adversaries; there was not one of them left.
12And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.
12Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.
13Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
13They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel;
14And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.
14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tried God in the desert.
15Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
15And He gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
16Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.
16They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, and of 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 and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
19And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.
19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped a molten image.
20He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.
20Thus they exchanged their glory for the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
21Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.
21They forgot God their saviour, who had done 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, terrible things by the Red Sea.
23They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:
23Therefore He said that He would destroy them, had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, to turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
24These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
24Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, they believed not His word;
25He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.
25And they murmured in their tents, they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
26They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.
26Therefore He swore concerning them, that He would overthrow them in the wilderness;
27They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
27And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
28And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.
28They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.
29Thus they provoked Him with their doings, and the plague broke in upon them.
30And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
30Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
31Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.
31And that was counted unto him for righteousness, unto all generations for ever.
32And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
32They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses because of them;
33He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:
33For they embittered his spirit, and he 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 commanded them;
35He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.
35But mingled themselves with the nations, and learned their works;
36And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.
36And they served their idols, which became a snare unto them;
37And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.
37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
38And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
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.
39Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
39Thus were they defiled with their works, and went astray in their doings.
40Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, and He abhorred His inheritance.
41And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.
41And He gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
42Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were subdued under their hand.
43Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
43Many times did He deliver them; but they were rebellious in their counsel, and sank low through their iniquity.
