Hallelujah. Give thanks to Jehovah, for He is good, For His lovingkindness is forever.

Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or declare all His praise?

Blessed are those who maintain justice, Who execute righteousness at all times.

Remember me, O Jehovah, with Your favor toward Your people; Visit me with Your salvation,

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

We have sinned with our fathers; We committed iniquity; we have acted wickedly.

Our fathers in Egypt Did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember the multitude of Your acts of lovingkindness, But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

But He saved them for His name's sake, That He might make His power known.

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

And He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

The water then covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.

Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.

Soon they forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

And He gave them their request, But He sent leanness into their soul.

And they were jealous of Moses in the camp And of Aaron, the holy one of Jehovah.

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

And a fire burned among their company; A flame engulfed the wicked.

They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

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

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

Wondrous deeds in the land of Ham, Awesome things by the Red Sea.

Therefore He said that He would destroy them, And would have, had not Moses His chosen one Stood in the breach before Him To turn away His wrath from destroying them.

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

Rather they murmured in their tents; They did not listen to the voice of Jehovah.

Therefore He lifted up His hand and swore to them That He would make them fall in the wilderness,

And that He would make their seed fall among the nations, And that He would disperse them among the lands.

Then they joined themselves to Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

Thus they provoked Him to anger by their actions, And the plague broke out among them.

Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, And the plague was stayed;

And it has been accounted to him as righteousness From generation to generation unto eternity.

Then they angered Him at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;

For they rebelled against His Spirit, And he spoke rashly with his lips.

They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah had commanded them;

But they mingled themselves with the nations And learned their practices.

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

They also sacrificed their sons And their daughters to demons,

And poured out innocent blood, The blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with bloodshed.

Thus they were defiled by their practices, And went about as harlots by their actions.

And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against His people, And He abhorred His inheritance.

And He gave them over into the hand of the nations: And those who hated them ruled over them,

And their enemies oppressed them, And they were subdued under their hand.

Many times He delivered them, But they were rebellious in their counsel, And they were brought low in their iniquity.

Yet He regarded their distress When He heard their cry,

And for their sake He remembered His covenant, And repented according to the multitude of His acts of lovingkindness;

And He caused them to find compassion With all their captors.

Save us, O Jehovah our God; And gather us out of the nations, That we may give thanks to Your holy name, That we may glory in Your praise.

Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, From eternity to eternity. And let all the people say, Amen. Hallelujah.
