| 1. | Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness endureth for ever. |
| 2. | Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? who can shew forth all his praise? |
| 3. | Blessed are they that keep justice, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. |
| 4. | Remember me, O Jehovah, with thy favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation: |
| 5. | That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy 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 in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea. |
| 8. | Yet he saved them for his name`s sake, that he might make known his might. |
| 9. | And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a 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 oppressors: there was not one of them left. |
| 12. | Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. |
| 13. | They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel: |
| 14. | And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted łGod in the desert. |
| 15. | Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul. |
| 16. | And they envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron, the saint of Jehovah. |
| 17. | The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram; |
| 18. | And fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked. |
| 19. | They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image; |
| 20. | And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. |
| 21. | They forgot łGod their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt, |
| 22. | Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea. |
| 23. | And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy them. |
| 24. | And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word, |
| 25. | But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah. |
| 26. | And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness; |
| 27. | And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries. |
| 28. | And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead; |
| 29. | And they provoked him to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them. |
| 30. | Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed; |
| 31. | And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore. |
| 32. | And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account; |
| 33. | For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips. |
| 34. | They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them; |
| 35. | But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works; |
| 36. | And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them: |
| 37. | And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons, |
| 38. | And shed innocent blood, 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. | And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings. |
| 40. | Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance; |
| 41. | And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them: |
| 42. | And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. |
| 43. | Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity. |
| 44. | But he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry; |
| 45. | And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses; |
| 46. | And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives. |
| 47. | Save us, Jehovah our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise. |
| 48. | Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah! |
