1(106) Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
1Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
2Who shall tell the mighty acts of the Lord? [who] shall cause all his praises to be heard?
2Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.
3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do righteousness at all times.
3Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
4Remember us, O Lord, with the favor [you have] to your people: visit us with your salvation;
4Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
5that we may behold the good of your elect, that we may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that we may glory with your inheritance.
5Remember his marvelous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
6We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done unrighteously.
6you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7Our fathers in Egypt understood not your wonders, and remembered not the multitude of your mercy; but provoked [him] as they went up by the Red Sea.
7He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
8Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might cause his mighty power to be known.
8He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: so he led them through the deep as through the wilderness.
9the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
10And he saved them out of the hand of them that hated [them], and redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy.
10and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11The water covered those that oppressed them: there was not one of them left.
11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
12Then they believed his words, and celebrated his praise.
12when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
13They made haste, they forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel.
13They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
14And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the dry [land].
14He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15And he gave them their request, and sent fullness into their souls.
15“Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
16They provoked Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
16He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and closed upon the congregation of Abiron.
17He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
18And a fire was kindled in their congregation, and a flame burnt up the sinners.
18They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
19And they made a calf in Choreb, and worshipped the graven image,
19until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh’s word proved him true.
20and they changed their glory into the similitude of a calf that feeds on grass.
20The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21They forgot God that saved them, who had wrought great deeds in Egypt;
21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions,
22wondrous [works] in the land of Cham, and terrible things at the Red Sea.
22to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
23So he said that he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn [him] away from the fierceness of his anger, so that he should not destroy them.
23Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
24Moreover they set at nothing the desirable land, and believed not his word.
24He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25And they murmured in their tents: they listened not to the voice of the Lord.
25He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
26So he lifted up his hand against them, to cast them down in the wilderness;
26He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27and to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.
27They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28They were joined also to Beelphegor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. And they provoked him with their devices;
28He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words.
29and destruction, was multiplied among them.
29He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
30Then Phinees stood up, and made atonement: and the plague ceased.
30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.
31And it was counted to him for righteousness, to all generations for ever.
31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.
32They provoked him also at the water of Strife, and Moses was hurt for their sakes;
32He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
33for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke [unadvisedly] with his lips.
33He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
34They destroyed not the nations which the Lord told them [to destroy];
34He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number.
35but were mingled with the heathen, and learned their works.
35They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36And they served their graven images; and it became an offense to them.
36He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
37And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils,
37He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan; and the land was defiled with blood.
38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.
39and was polluted with their works; and they went a whoring with their own devices.
39He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.
40So the Lord was very angry with his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.
40They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41And he delivered them into the hands of [their] enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them.
41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
42Ands their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under their hands.
42For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43Many a time he delivered them; but they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.
43He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.
44You⌃ the Lord looked upon their affliction, when he heard their petition.
44He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45And he remembered his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercy.
45that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise Yah!
