1: Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, [is] His kindness. 2: Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise? 3: O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times. 4: Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation. 5: To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance. 6: We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly. 7: Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph. 8: And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might, 9: And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness. 10: And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy. 11: And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left. 12: And they believe in His words, they sing His praise, 13: They have hasted -- forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel. 14: And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert. 15: And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul. 16: And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one. 17: Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram. 18: And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked. 19: They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image, 20: And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs. 21: They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt, 22: Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph. 23: And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying. 24: And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word. 25: And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah. 26: And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness, 27: And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands. 28: And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead, 29: And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them, 30: And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained, 31: And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations -- unto the age. 32: And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes, 33: For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips. 34: They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them, 35: And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works, 36: And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare. 37: And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers, 38: And they shed innocent blood -- Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood. 39: And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings. 40: And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance. 41: And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them, 42: And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand. 43: Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity. 44: And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry, 45: And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness. 46: And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors. 47: Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise. 48: Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, 'Amen, praise Jah!'
