¹Praise Yahvah. Give thanks to Yahvah, for he is good; for his mercy endures forever.
²Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahvah? Who can show forth all his praise?
³Blessed are those who keep his judgments, and those who do righteousness at all times.

⁴Remember us, Yahvah, with the favor that you bear to your people; visit us with your salvation,
⁵that we may see the good of your chosen, that we may rejoice in your joy, and be glorified with your inheritance.

⁶We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
⁷Our fathers did not understand your wonders in Egypt; they did not remember the multitude of your mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
⁸Nevertheless, he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
⁹He also rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
¹⁰And he saved them from the hand of the enemy and delivered them from the hand of the oppressor.
¹¹And the waters covered their enemies; there was not one of them left.
¹²Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.

¹³But they soon forgot god; they did not trust in his counsel,
¹⁴but craved exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted god in the desert.
¹⁵And he gave them their request; and he supplied them with abundance.

¹⁶They also plotted against Moses in the camp, and Aaron, the saint of Yahvah.
¹⁷The land opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
¹⁸And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped the molten image.
²⁰Thus, they changed their glorious one into the likeness of an ox that eats grass.
²¹They forgot god their savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
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 stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

²⁴Yes, they despised the desired land, they did not believe his word,
²⁵but murmured in their tents, and did not listen to the voice of Yahvah.
²⁶Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to scatter them among the Gentiles,
²⁷to also scatter their sons among the nations, and to lose them in the lands.

²⁸They also worshiped the Lord of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered for the dead.
²⁹Thus, they provoked him to anger with their acts; they made him angry with their images, and the plague came on them suddenly.
³⁰Then Phinehas stood up and prayed, and so the plague was stopped.
³¹And it was counted to him for a victory to all generations forever.
³²They also angered him at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes,
³³because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

³⁴And they did not destroy the nations, concerning whom Yahvah commanded them;
³⁵but they were mingled among the Gentiles, and learned their works.
³⁶And they served their idols, which were a snare to them.
³⁷Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils,
³⁸and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.
³⁹Thus, they were defiled with their own works, and went prostituting themselves with their own inventions.

⁴⁰Therefore the wrath of Yahvah was kindled against his people, so that he abhorred his own inheritance.
⁴¹And he gave them into the hand of the Gentiles; and those who hated them ruled over them.
⁴²Their enemies also subdued them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
⁴³Many times, he delivered them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were humbled for their iniquity.

⁴⁴Nevertheless, he regarded their affliction and heard their prayer.
⁴⁵And he remembered his contract, and pitied them, and led them according to the multitude of his mercies.
⁴⁶He also made them to be pitied of all those who carried them captives.

⁴⁷Save us, Yahvah our god, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name, and be glorified in your inheritance.
⁴⁸Blessed be Yahvah, god of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting; and let all the people say, Amen and Amen. Praise Yahvah.
