1Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.studyinterlinear
2Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?studyinterlinear
3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.studyinterlinear
4Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;studyinterlinear
5That 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.studyinterlinear
6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.studyinterlinear
7Our 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.studyinterlinear
8Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.studyinterlinear
9He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.studyinterlinear
10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.studyinterlinear
11And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.studyinterlinear
12Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.studyinterlinear
13They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:studyinterlinear
14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.studyinterlinear
15And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.studyinterlinear
16They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.studyinterlinear
17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.studyinterlinear
18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.studyinterlinear
19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.studyinterlinear
20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.studyinterlinear
21They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;studyinterlinear
22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.studyinterlinear
23Therefore 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.studyinterlinear
24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:studyinterlinear
25But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.studyinterlinear
26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:studyinterlinear
27To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.studyinterlinear
28They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.studyinterlinear
29Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.studyinterlinear
30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.studyinterlinear
31And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.studyinterlinear
32They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:studyinterlinear
33Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.studyinterlinear
34They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:studyinterlinear
35But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.studyinterlinear
36And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.studyinterlinear
37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,studyinterlinear
38And 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.studyinterlinear
39Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.studyinterlinear
40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.studyinterlinear
41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.studyinterlinear
42Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.studyinterlinear
43Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.studyinterlinear
44Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:studyinterlinear
45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.studyinterlinear
46He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.studyinterlinear
47Save 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.studyinterlinear
48Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.studyinterlinear
