Revision as of 08:40, 19 July 2010

• 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.
