Praise
ye the LORD.
O give thanks
unto the LORD;
for he is good:
for his mercy
endureth for ever.
Who can utter
the mighty acts
of the LORD?
who can shew forth
all his praise?
Blessed
are they that keep
judgment,
and he that doeth
righteousness
at all times.
Remember
me, O LORD,
with the favour
that thou bearest unto thy people:
O visit
me with thy salvation;
That I may see
the good
of thy chosen,
that I may rejoice
in the gladness
of thy nation,
that I may glory
with thine inheritance.
We have sinned
with our fathers,
we have committed iniquity,
we have done wickedly.
Our fathers
understood
not thy wonders
in Egypt;
they remembered
not the multitude
of thy mercies;
but provoked
him at the sea,
even at the Red
sea.
Nevertheless he saved
them for his name's
sake, that he might make his mighty power
to be known.
He rebuked
the Red
sea
also, and it was dried up:
so he led
them through the depths,
as through the wilderness.
And he saved
them from the hand
of him that hated
them, and redeemed
them from the hand
of the enemy.
And the waters
covered
their enemies:
there was not one
of them left.
Then believed
they his words;
they sang
his praise.
They soon
forgat
his works;
they waited
not for his counsel:
But lusted
exceedingly
in the wilderness,
and tempted
God
in the desert.
And he gave
them their request;
but sent
leanness
into their soul.
They envied
Moses
also in the camp,
and Aaron
the saint
of the LORD.
The earth
opened
and swallowed up
Dathan,
and covered
the company
of Abiram.
And a fire
was kindled
in their company;
the flame
burned up
the wicked.
They made
a calf
in Horeb,
and worshipped
the molten image.
Thus they changed
their glory
into the similitude
of an ox
that eateth
grass.
They forgat
God
their saviour,
which had done
great things
in Egypt;
Wondrous works
in the land
of Ham,
and terrible things
by the Red
sea.
Therefore 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.

Yea, they despised
the pleasant
land,
they believed
not his word:
But murmured
in their tents,
and hearkened
not unto the voice
of the LORD.
Therefore he lifted up
his hand
against them, to overthrow
them in the wilderness:
To overthrow
their seed
also among the nations,
and to scatter
them in the lands.
They joined
themselves also unto Baalpeor,
and ate
the sacrifices
of the dead.
Thus they provoked him to anger
with their inventions:
and the plague
brake in
upon them.
Then stood up
Phinehas,
and executed judgment:
and so the plague
was stayed.
And that was counted
unto him for righteousness
unto all
generations
for
evermore.
They angered
him also at the waters
of strife,
so that it went ill
with Moses
for their sakes:
Because they provoked
his spirit,
so that he spake unadvisedly
with his lips.
They did not destroy
the nations,
concerning whom the LORD
commanded
them:
But were mingled
among the heathen,
and learned
their works.
And they served
their idols:
which were a snare
unto them.
Yea, they sacrificed
their sons
and their daughters
unto devils,
And 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.

Thus were they defiled
with their own works,
and went a whoring
with their own inventions.
Therefore was the wrath
of the LORD
kindled
against his people,
insomuch that he abhorred
his own inheritance.
And he gave
them into the hand
of the heathen;
and they that hated
them ruled
over them.
Their enemies
also oppressed
them, and they were brought into subjection
under their hand.
Many
times
did he deliver
them; but they provoked
him with their counsel,
and were brought low
for their iniquity.
Nevertheless he regarded
their affliction,
when he heard
their cry:
And he remembered
for them his covenant,
and repented
according to the multitude
of his mercies.
He made
them also to be pitied
of
all those that carried them captives.
Save
us, O LORD
our God,
and gather
us from among the heathen,
to give thanks
unto thy holy
name,
and to triumph
in thy praise.
