|
1 Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks unto the LORD, for He is good, for His mercy endureth for ever.
|
1 Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
|
|
2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can show forth all His praise?
|
2 Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise?
|
|
3 Blessed are they that keep judgment and he that doeth righteousness at all times.
|
3 Blessed are they who maintain justice, who constantly do what is right.
|
|
4 Remember me, O LORD, with the favor which Thou bearest unto Thy people; O visit me with Thy salvation,
|
4 Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them,
|
|
5 that 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.
|
5 that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.
|
|
6 We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
|
6 We have sinned, even as our fathers did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
|
|
7 Our fathers understood not Thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies, but provoked Thee at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
|
7 When our fathers were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.
|
|
8 Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
|
8 Yet he saved them for his name's sake, to make his mighty power known.
|
|
9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so He led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
|
9 He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert.
|
|
10 And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
|
10 He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them.
|
|
11 And the waters covered their enemies; there was not one of them left.
|
11 The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived.
|
|
12 Then believed they His words; they sang His praise.
|
12 Then they believed his promises and sang his praise.
|
|
13 They soon forgot His works; they waited not for His counsel,
|
13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his counsel.
|
|
14 but lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
|
14 In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wasteland they put God to the test.
|
|
15 And He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
|
15 So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
|
|
16 They also envied Moses in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.
|
16 In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD.
|
|
17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
|
17 The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram.
|
|
18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
|
18 Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked.
|
|
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped the molten image.
|
19 At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal.
|
|
20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
|
20 They exchanged their Glory for an image of a bull, which eats grass.
|
|
21 They forgot God their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
|
21 They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,
|
|
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham, and fearsome things by the Red Sea.
|
22 miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
|
|
23 Therefore 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.
|
23 So he said he would destroy them-- had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them.
|
|
24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land; they believed not His word,
|
24 Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise.
|
|
25 but murmured in their tents and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
|
25 They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD.
|
|
26 Therefore He lifted up His hand against them to overthrow them in the wilderness,
|
26 So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the desert,
|
|
27 to overthrow their seed also among the nations and to scatter them in the lands.
|
27 make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
|
|
28 They joined themselves also with Baal of Peor, and ate the sacrifices to the dead.
|
28 They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods;
|
|
29 Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions, and the plague broke in upon them.
|
29 they provoked the LORD to anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
|
|
30 Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed.
|
30 But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked.
|
|
31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
|
31 This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
|
|
32 They angered Him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes,
|
32 By the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them;
|
|
33 because they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.
|
33 for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses' lips.
|
|
34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them;
|
34 They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
|
|
35 but they mingled among the heathen and learned their works,
|
35 but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
|
|
36 and they served their idols, which were a snare unto them.
|
36 They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
|
|
37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and daughters unto devils,
|
37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
|
|
38 and 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.
|
38 They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood.
|
|
39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own schemes.
|
39 They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves.
|
|
40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, insomuch that He abhorred His own inheritance.
|
40 Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance.
|
|
41 And He gave them into the hand of the heathen, and they that hated them ruled over them.
|
41 He handed them over to the nations, and their foes ruled over them.
|
|
42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
|
42 Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power.
|
|
43 Many times did He deliver them, but they provoked Him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
|
43 Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin.
|
|
44 Nevertheless He regarded their affliction when He heard their cry,
|
44 But he took note of their distress when he heard their cry;
|
|
45 and He remembered for them His covenant, and repented according to the multitude of His mercies.
|
45 for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented.
|
|
46 He made them also to be pitied by all those that carried them captive.
|
46 He caused them to be pitied by all who held them captive.
|
|
47 Save 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.
|
47 Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise.
|
|
48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting, and let all the people say, "Amen." Praise ye the LORD!
|
48 Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD.
