1Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, since he is good, for his gracious love exists forever.

1הַֽלְלוּיָ֨הּ ׀ הוֹד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־ ט֑וֹב כִּ֖י לְעוֹלָ֣ם חַסְדּֽוֹ׃

2Who can fully describe the mighty acts of the LORD or proclaim all his praises?

2מִ֗י יְ֭מַלֵּל גְּבוּר֣וֹת יְהוָ֑ה יַ֝שְׁמִ֗יעַ כָּל־ תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

3How happy are those who enforce justice, who live righteously all the time.

3אַ֭שְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵ֣י מִשְׁפָּ֑ט עֹשֵׂ֖ה צְדָקָ֣ה בְכָל־ עֵֽת׃

4Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people. Visit us with your deliverance,

4זָכְרֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה בִּרְצ֣וֹן עַמֶּ֑ךָ פָּ֝קְדֵ֗נִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

5to witness the prosperity of your chosen ones, to rejoice in your nation's joy, to glory in your inheritance.

5לִרְא֤וֹת ׀ בְּט֘וֹבַ֤ת בְּחִירֶ֗יךָ לִ֭שְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַ֣ת גּוֹיֶ֑ךָ לְ֝הִתְהַלֵּ֗ל עִם־ נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ׃

6We have sinned, along with our ancestors; we have committed iniquity and wickedness.

6חָטָ֥אנוּ עִם־ אֲבוֹתֵ֗ינוּ הֶעֱוִ֥ינוּ הִרְשָֽׁעְנוּ׃

7In Egypt, our ancestors neither comprehended your awesome deeds nor remembered your abundant gracious love. Instead, they rebelled beside the sea, the Reed Sea.

7אֲב֘וֹתֵ֤ינוּ בְמִצְרַ֨יִם ׀ לֹא־ הִשְׂכִּ֬ילוּ נִפְלְאוֹתֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א זָ֭כְרוּ אֶת־ רֹ֣ב חֲסָדֶ֑יךָ וַיַּמְר֖וּ עַל־ יָ֣ם בְּיַם־ סֽוּף׃

8He delivered for the sake of his name, to make his power known.

8וַֽ֭יּוֹשִׁיעֵם לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמ֑וֹ לְ֝הוֹדִ֗יעַ אֶת־ גְּבוּרָתֽוֹ׃

9He shouted at the Reed Sea and it dried up; and led them through the sea as though through a desert.

9וַיִּגְעַ֣ר בְּיַם־ ס֭וּף וַֽיֶּחֱרָ֑ב וַיּוֹלִיכֵ֥ם בַּ֝תְּהֹמ֗וֹת כַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

10He delivered them from the power of their foe; redeeming them from the power of their enemy.

10וַֽ֭יּוֹשִׁיעֵם מִיַּ֣ד שׂוֹנֵ֑א וַ֝יִּגְאָלֵ֗ם מִיַּ֥ד אוֹיֵֽב׃

11The water overwhelmed their enemies, so that not one of them survived.

11וַיְכַסּוּ־ מַ֥יִם צָרֵיהֶ֑ם אֶחָ֥ד מֵ֝הֶ֗ם לֹ֣א נוֹתָֽר׃

12Then they believed his word and sung his praise.

12וַיַּאֲמִ֥ינוּ בִדְבָרָ֑יו יָ֝שִׁ֗ירוּ תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃

13But they quickly forgot his deeds and did not wait for his counsel.

13מִֽ֭הֲרוּ שָׁכְח֣וּ מַעֲשָׂ֑יו לֹֽא־ חִ֝כּ֗וּ לַעֲצָתֽוֹ׃

14They were overwhelmed with craving in the wilderness, so God tested them in the wasteland.

14וַיִּתְאַוּ֣וּ תַ֭אֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וַיְנַסּוּ־ אֵ֝֗ל בִּֽישִׁימֽוֹן׃

15God granted them their request, but sent leanness into their lives.

15וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָ֑ם וַיְשַׁלַּ֖ח רָז֣וֹן בְּנַפְשָֽׁם׃

16They were envious of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

16וַיְקַנְא֣וּ לְ֭מֹשֶׁה בַּֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה לְ֝אַהֲרֹ֗ן קְד֣וֹשׁ יְהוָֽה׃

17The earth opened and swallowed Dathan, closing over Abiram's clan.

17תִּפְתַּח־ אֶ֭רֶץ וַתִּבְלַ֣ע דָּתָ֑ן וַ֝תְּכַ֗ס עַל־ עֲדַ֥ת אֲבִירָֽם׃

18Then a fire burned among their company, a flame that set the wicked ablaze.

18וַתִּבְעַר־ אֵ֥שׁ בַּעֲדָתָ֑ם לֶ֝הָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט רְשָׁעִֽים׃

19They fashioned a calf at Horeb and worshipped a carved image.

19יַעֲשׂוּ־ עֵ֥גֶל בְּחֹרֵ֑ב וַ֝יִּשְׁתַּחֲו֗וּ לְמַסֵּכָֽה׃

20They exchanged their glory with the image of a grass-eating bull.

20וַיָּמִ֥ירוּ אֶת־ כְּבוֹדָ֑ם בְּתַבְנִ֥ית שׁ֝֗וֹר אֹכֵ֥ל עֵֽשֶׂב׃

21They forgot God their Savior, who performed great things in Egypt—

21שָׁ֭כְחוּ אֵ֣ל מוֹשִׁיעָ֑ם עֹשֶׂ֖ה גְדֹל֣וֹת בְּמִצְרָֽיִם׃

22awesome deeds in the land of Ham, astonishing deeds at the Reed Sea.

22נִ֭פְלָאוֹת בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָ֑ם נ֝וֹרָא֗וֹת עַל־ יַם־ סֽוּף׃

23He would have destroyed them but for Moses, his chosen one, who stood in the breach before him to avert his destructive wrath.

23וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לְֽהַשְׁמִ֫ידָ֥ם לוּלֵ֡י מֹ֘שֶׁ֤ה בְחִיר֗וֹ עָמַ֣ד בַּפֶּ֣רֶץ לְפָנָ֑יו לְהָשִׁ֥יב חֲ֝מָת֗וֹ מֵֽהַשְׁחִֽית׃

24They rejected the desirable land, and they didn't trust his promise.

24וַֽ֭יִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חֶמְדָּ֑ה לֹֽא־ הֶ֝אֱמִ֗ינוּ לִדְבָרֽוֹ׃

25They murmured in their tents, and didn't listen to the voice of the LORD.

25וַיֵּרָגְנ֥וּ בְאָהֳלֵיהֶ֑ם לֹ֥א שָׁ֝מְע֗וּ בְּק֣וֹל יְהוָֽה׃

26So he swore an oath concerning them— that he would cause them to die in the wilderness,

26וַיִּשָּׂ֣א יָד֣וֹ לָהֶ֑ם לְהַפִּ֥יל א֝וֹתָ֗ם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

27to cause their children to perish among the nations and be scattered among many lands.

27וּלְהַפִּ֣יל זַ֭רְעָם בַּגּוֹיִ֑ם וּ֝לְזָרוֹתָ֗ם בָּאֲרָצֽוֹת׃

28For they adopted the worship of Baal Peor and ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

28וַ֭יִּצָּ֣מְדוּ לְבַ֣עַל פְּע֑וֹר וַ֝יֹּאכְל֗וּ זִבְחֵ֥י מֵתִֽים׃

29They had provoked anger by their deeds, so that a plague broke out against them.

29וַ֭יַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶ֑ם וַתִּפְרָץ־ בָּ֝֗ם מַגֵּפָֽה׃

30But Phinehas intervened and prayed so that the plague was restrained.

30וַיַּעֲמֹ֣ד פִּֽ֭ינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּ֑ל וַ֝תֵּעָצַ֗ר הַמַּגֵּפָֽה׃

31And it was credited to him as a righteous act, from generation to generation—to eternity.

31וַתֵּחָ֣שֶׁב ל֭וֹ לִצְדָקָ֑ה לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר עַד־ עוֹלָֽם׃

32They provoked wrath at the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered on account of them.

32וַ֭יַּקְצִיפוּ עַל־ מֵ֥י מְרִיבָ֑ה וַיֵּ֥רַע לְ֝מֹשֶׁ֗ה בַּעֲבוּרָֽם׃

33For they rebelled against him, so that he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips.

33כִּֽי־ הִמְר֥וּ אֶת־ רוּח֑וֹ וַ֝יְבַטֵּ֗א בִּשְׂפָתָֽיו׃

34They never destroyed the people, as the LORD had commanded them.

34לֹֽא־ הִ֭שְׁמִידוּ אֶת־ הָֽעַמִּ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה לָהֶֽם׃

35Instead, they mingled among the nations and learned their ways.

35וַיִּתְעָרְב֥וּ בַגּוֹיִ֑ם וַֽ֝יִּלְמְד֗וּ מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃

36They worshipped their idols, and this became a trap for them.

36וַיַּעַבְד֥וּ אֶת־ עֲצַבֵּיהֶ֑ם וַיִּהְי֖וּ לָהֶ֣ם לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃

37They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons.

37וַיִּזְבְּח֣וּ אֶת־ בְּ֭נֵיהֶם וְאֶת־ בְּנֽוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם לַשֵּֽׁדִים׃

38They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters— whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, thereby polluting the land with blood.

38וַיִּֽשְׁפְּכ֨וּ דָ֪ם נָקִ֡י דַּם־ בְּנֵ֘יהֶ֤ם וּֽבְנוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר זִ֭בְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּ֣י כְנָ֑עַן וַתֶּחֱנַ֥ף הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ בַּדָּמִֽים׃

39Therefore, they became unclean because of what they did; they have acted like whores by their evil deeds.

39וַיִּטְמְא֥וּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּזְנוּ֗ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃

40The LORD's anger burned against his people, so that he despised his own inheritance.

40וַיִּֽחַר־ אַ֣ף יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמּ֑וֹ וַ֝יְתָעֵ֗ב אֶת־ נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃

41He turned them over to domination by nations where those who hated them ruled over them.

41וַיִּתְּנֵ֥ם בְּיַד־ גּוֹיִ֑ם וַֽיִּמְשְׁל֥וּ בָ֝הֶ֗ם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶֽם׃

42Their enemies oppressed them, so that they were humiliated by their power.

42וַיִּלְחָצ֥וּם אוֹיְבֵיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּכָּנְע֗וּ תַּ֣חַת יָדָֽם׃

43He delivered them many times, but they demonstrated rebellion by their evil plans; therefore they sunk deep in their sins.

43פְּעָמִ֥ים רַבּ֗וֹת יַצִּ֫ילֵ֥ם וְ֭הֵמָּה יַמְר֣וּ בַעֲצָתָ֑ם וַ֝יָּמֹ֗כּוּ בַּעֲוֺנָֽם׃

44Yet when he saw their distress and heard their cries for help,

44וַ֭יַּרְא בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם בְּ֝שָׁמְע֗וֹ אֶת־ רִנָּתָֽם׃

45he remembered his covenant with them, and so relented according to the greatness of his gracious love.

45וַיִּזְכֹּ֣ר לָהֶ֣ם בְּרִית֑וֹ וַ֝יִּנָּחֵ֗ם כְּרֹ֣ב חסדו [חֲסָדָֽיו׃]

46He caused all their captors to show compassion toward them.

46(וַיִּתֵּ֣ן) אוֹתָ֣ם לְרַחֲמִ֑ים לִ֝פְנֵ֗י כָּל־ שׁוֹבֵיהֶֽם׃

47Deliver us, LORD our God, gather us from among the nations so we may praise your holy name and rejoice in praising you.

47הוֹשִׁיעֵ֨נוּ ׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ֮ מִֽן־ הַגּ֫וֹיִ֥ם לְ֭הֹדוֹת לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ לְ֝הִשְׁתַּבֵּ֗חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

48Blessed are you, LORD God of Israel, from eternity to eternity; Let all the people say, "Amen!" Hallelujah!

48בָּר֤וּךְ־ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵ֪י יִשְׂרָאֵ֡ל מִן־ הָ֤עוֹלָ֨ם ׀ וְעַ֬ד הָעוֹלָ֗ם וְאָמַ֖ר כָּל־ הָעָ֥ם אָמֵ֗ן הַֽלְלוּ־ יָֽהּ׃
