| [1]Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. |
[1]Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness. |
| [2]Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise? |
[2]Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise? |
| [3]Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times. |
[3]O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times. |
| [4]Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; |
[4]Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in 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. |
[5]To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance. |
| [6]We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. |
[6]We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, 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. |
[7]Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph. |
| [8]Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. |
[8]And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might, |
| [9]He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness. |
[9]And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness. |
| [10]And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. |
[10]And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy. |
| [11]And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left. |
[11]And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left. |
| [12]Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. |
[12]And they believe in His words, they sing His praise, |
| [13]They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: |
[13]They have hasted -- forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel. |
| [14]But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert. |
[14]And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert. |
| [15]And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. |
[15]And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul. |
| [16]They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD. |
[16]And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one. |
| [17]The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram. |
[17]Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram. |
| [18]And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. |
[18]And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked. |
| [19]They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. |
[19]They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image, |
| [20]Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. |
[20]And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs. |
| [21]They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; |
[21]They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt, |
| [22]Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea. |
[22]Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph. |
| [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. |
[23]And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying. |
| [24]Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: |
[24]And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word. |
| [25]But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD. |
[25]And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah. |
| [26]Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: |
[26]And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness, |
| [27]To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. |
[27]And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands. |
| [28]They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. |
[28]And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead, |
| [29]Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. |
[29]And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them, |
| [30]Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed. |
[30]And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained, |
| [31]And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. |
[31]And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations -- unto the age. |
| [32]They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: |
[32]And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes, |
| [33]Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. |
[33]For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips. |
| [34]They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them: |
[34]They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them, |
| [35]But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. |
[35]And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works, |
| [36]And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. |
[36]And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare. |
| [37]Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, |
[37]And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers, |
| [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. |
[38]And they shed innocent blood -- Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood. |
| [39]Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. |
[39]And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings. |
| [40]Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. |
[40]And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance. |
| [41]And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them. |
[41]And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them, |
| [42]Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand. |
[42]And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand. |
| [43]Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. |
[43]Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity. |
| [44]Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry: |
[44]And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry, |
| [45]And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. |
[45]And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness. |
| [46]He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives. |
[46]And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors. |
| [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. |
[47]Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory 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. |
[48]Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, `Amen, praise Jah!' |
