1Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

1Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2Who can speak of the mighty deeds of the LORD, Or can show forth all His praise?

2Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? who can shew forth all his praise?

3How blessed are those who keep justice, Who practice righteousness at all times!

3Blessed are they that keep judgment, and he that doeth righteousness at all times.

4Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor toward Your people; Visit me with Your salvation,

4Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people: O visit me with thy salvation;

5That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance.

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.

6We have sinned like our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.

6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

7Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses, But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

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.

8Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of His name, That He might make His power known.

8Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

9Thus He rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up, And He led them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.

9He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

10So He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

10And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11The waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.

11And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

12Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.

12Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

13They quickly forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,

13They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

14But craved intensely in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

15So He gave them their request, But sent a wasting disease among them.

15And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

16When they became envious of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,

16They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And engulfed the company of Abiram.

17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

18And a fire blazed up in their company; The flame consumed the wicked.

18And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

19They made a calf in Horeb And worshiped a molten image.

19They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

20Thus they exchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass.

20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

21They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,

21They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

22Wonders in the land of Ham And awesome things by the Red Sea.

22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

23Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him, To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

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.

24Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe in His word,

24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:

25But grumbled in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of the LORD.

25But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

26Therefore He swore to them That He would cast them down in the wilderness,

26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

27And that He would cast their seed among the nations And scatter them in the lands.

27To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

28They joined themselves also to Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

28They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

29Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, And the plague broke out among them.

29Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

30Then Phinehas stood up and interposed, And so the plague was stayed.

30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.

31And it was reckoned to him for righteousness, To all generations forever.

31And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.

32They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, So that it went hard with Moses on their account;

32They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

33Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.

33Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

34They did not destroy the peoples, As the LORD commanded them,

34They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

35But they mingled with the nations And learned their practices,

35But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

36And served their idols, Which became a snare to them.

36And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.

37They even sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons,

37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,

38And shed innocent blood, The blood of their sons and their daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with the blood.

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.

39Thus they became unclean in their practices, And played the harlot in their deeds.

39Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

40Therefore the anger of the LORD was kindled against His people And He abhorred His inheritance.

40Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

41Then He gave them into the hand of the nations, And those who hated them ruled over them.

41And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.

42Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were subdued under their power.

42Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

43Many times He would deliver them; They, however, were rebellious in their counsel, And so sank down in their iniquity.

43Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.

44Nevertheless He looked upon their distress When He heard their cry;

44Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

45And He remembered His covenant for their sake, And relented according to the greatness of His lovingkindness.

45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

46He also made them objects of compassion In the presence of all their captors.

46He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.

47Save us, O LORD our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name And glory in Your praise.

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.

48Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, "Amen." Praise the LORD!

48Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD.
