|
|
|
1 |
Praise ye the LORD.
O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for
ever.
|
|
|
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: |
|
14 |
But lusted
exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
|
|
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: |
|
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:
|
|
27 |
To overthrow their
seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
|
|
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.
|
|
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.
