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

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

How

keep justice, Who
practice righteousness at
all times!

Remember me, O

favor toward Your

Visit me with Your
salvation,

That I may

We have

committed iniquity, we have
behaved wickedly.

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

Nevertheless He
saved them for the

make His
power known.

Thus He
rebuked the

dried up, And He
led them through the
deeps, as through the

So He
saved them from the

hated them, And
redeemed them from the

The

Then they
believed His

They
quickly forgot His

But
craved intensely in the

tempted God in the

So He

sent a

When they

The

They
made a

worshiped a

Thus they

They
forgot God their

done great things in

Wonders in the

Therefore 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.

Then they
despised the

believe in His
word,
w{r'b.dil .Wnyim/a,h -a{l h'D.m,x #,r,a.B .Ws]a.miY;w

But
grumbled in their

listen to the
voice of the
LORD.

Therefore He

cast them

And that He would

They
joined themselves also to

ate sacrifices offered to the
dead.
~yitem yex.biz .Wl.ka{Y;w rw{[.P l;[;b.l .Wd.m'CiY;w

Thus they
provoked Him to
anger with their

Then

And it was

32
They also
provoked Him to
wrath at the
waters of

went hard with
Moses on their
account;
h,v{m.l [;reY;w h'byir.m yem -l;[ .Wpyic.q;Y;w ? ~'r.Wb][;B
33
Because they were
rebellious against His

spoke rashly with his
lips.

They did not
destroy the
peoples, As the
LORD commanded them,
h'wh.y r;m'a r,v]a ~yiM;['h -t,a .Wdyim.vih -a{l ? ~,h'l

But they
mingled with the

learned their

And
served their

became a

They even
sacrificed their

~yideV;l ~,hyetw{n.B -t,a.w ~,hyen.B -t,a .Wx.B.ziY;w
38
And
shed innocent blood, The
blood of their

Whom they
sacrificed to the
idols of
Canaan; And the
land was
polluted with the
blood.

played the
harlot in their
deeds.

Therefore the
anger of the

kindled against His
people And He
abhorred His
inheritance.
w{t'l]x;n -t,a be['t.y;w w{M;[.B h'wh.y @;a -r;xiY;w

Then He
gave them into the

those who
hated them
ruled over them.
~,hyea.n{f ~,h'b .Wl.v.miY;w ~Iyw{G -d;y.B ~en.TiY;w

Their

oppressed them, And they were
subdued under their

43
Many times He would
deliver them; They, however, were

sank down in their
iniquity.

Nevertheless He
looked upon their

heard their
cry;

And He
remembered His

relented according to the
greatness of His
lovingkindness.

He also
