|
Praise# ye the LORD. O give thanks# unto the LORD; for
he is good: for his mercy
endureth for ever.
[Praise...: Heb. Hallelujah]
|
|
|
|
2
|
Who can utter# the mighty acts of the LORD?
who can shew forth# all his praise?
|
|
|
|
3
|
Blessed
are they that keep# judgment,
and he that doeth# righteousness at all times.
|
|
|
|
4
|
Remember# me, O LORD, with the favour
that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit# me with thy salvation;
|
|
|
|
5
|
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.
|
|
|
|
6
|
We have sinned# with our fathers, we have committed iniquity# , we have done wickedly# .
|
|
|
|
7
|
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.
|
|
|
|
8
|
Nevertheless he saved# them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known# .
|
|
|
|
9
|
He rebuked# the Red sea also, and it was dried up# : so he led# them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
|
|
|
|
10
|
And he saved# them from the hand of him that hated#
them , and redeemed# them from the hand of the enemy# .
|
|
|
|
11
|
And the waters covered# their enemies: there was not one of them left# .
|
|
|
|
12
|
Then believed# they his words; they sang# his praise.
|
|
|
|
13
|
They soon# forgat# his works; they waited# not for his counsel:
[They soon...: Heb. They made haste, they forgat]
|
|
|
|
14
|
But lusted# exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted# God in the desert.
[lusted...: Heb. lusted a lust]
|
|
|
|
15
|
And he gave# them their request; but sent# leanness into their soul.
|
|
|
|
16
|
They envied# Moses also in the camp,
and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
|
|
|
|
17
|
The earth opened# and swallowed up# Dathan, and covered# the company of Abiram.
|
|
|
|
18
|
And a fire was kindled# in their company; the flame burned up# the wicked.
|
|
|
|
19
|
They made# a calf in Horeb, and worshipped# the molten image.
|
|
|
|
20
|
Thus they changed# their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth# grass.
|
|
|
|
21
|
They forgat# God their saviour# , which had done# great things in Egypt;
|
|
|
|
22
|
Wondrous works# in the land of Ham,
and terrible things# by the Red sea.
|
|
|
|
23
|
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 .
|
|
|
|
24
|
Yea, they despised# the pleasant land, they believed# not his word:
[the pleasant...: Heb. a land of desire]
|
|
|
|
25
|
But murmured# in their tents,
and hearkened# not unto the voice of the LORD.
|
|
|
|
26
|
Therefore he lifted up# his hand against them, to overthrow# them in the wilderness:
[to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall]
|
|
|
|
27
|
To overthrow# their seed also among the nations, and to scatter# them in the lands.
[to overthrow: Heb. to make them fall]
|
|
|
|
28
|
They joined# themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate# the sacrifices of the dead# .
|
|
|
|
29
|
Thus they provoked
him to anger# with their inventions: and the plague brake in# upon them.
|
|
|
|
30
|
Then stood up# Phinehas, and executed judgment# : and
so the plague was stayed# .
|
|
|
|
31
|
And that was counted# unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
|
|
|
|
32
|
They angered#
him also at the waters of strife# # , so that it went ill# with Moses for their sakes:
|
|
|
|
33
|
Because they provoked# his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly# with his lips.
|
|
|
|
34
|
They did not destroy# the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded# them:
|
|
|
|
35
|
But were mingled# among the heathen, and learned# their works.
|
|
|
|
36
|
And they served# their idols: which were a snare unto them.
|
|
|
|
37
|
Yea, they sacrificed# their sons and their daughters unto devils,
|
|
|
|
38
|
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.
|
|
|
|
39
|
Thus were they defiled# with their own works, and went a whoring# with their own inventions.
|
|
|
|
40
|
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled# against his people, insomuch that he abhorred# his own inheritance.
|
|
|
|
41
|
And he gave# them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated# them ruled# over them.
|
|
|
|
42
|
Their enemies# also oppressed# them, and they were brought into subjection# under their hand.
|
|
|
|
43
|
Many times did he deliver# them; but they provoked#
him with their counsel, and were brought low# for their iniquity.
[brought...: or, impoverished, or, weakened]
|
|
|
|
44
|
Nevertheless he regarded# their affliction, when he heard# their cry:
|
|
|
|
45
|
And he remembered# for them his covenant, and repented# according to the multitude of his mercies.
|
|
|
|
46
|
He made# them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives# .
|
|
|
|
47
|
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.
|
|
|
|
48
|
Blessed#
be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say# , Amen. Praise# ye the LORD.
[Praise...: Heb. Hallelujah]
