\c 106
|
||
\p
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 1 Praise Yahweh.
|
||
\q Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good,
|
||
\q for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 2 Who can recount the mighty acts of Yahweh
|
||
\q or proclaim in full all his praiseworthy deeds?
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 3 Blessed are those who do what is right,
|
||
\q and whose deeds are always just.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 4 Call me to mind, Yahweh, when you show favor to your people;
|
||
\q help me when you save them.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 5 Then I will see the prosperity of your chosen,
|
||
\q rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
|
||
\q and glory with your inheritance.
|
||
\b
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 6 We have sinned like our ancestors;
|
||
\q we have done wrong, and we have done evil.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 7 Our fathers did not appreciate your marvelous deeds in Egypt;
|
||
\q they ignored your many acts of covenant faithfulness;
|
||
\q they were rebellious at the sea, the sea of Reeds.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 8 Nevertheless, he saved them for his name’s sake
|
||
\q so that he might reveal his power.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 9 He rebuked the sea of Reeds, and it dried up.
|
||
\q Then he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 10 He saved them from the hand of those who hated them,
|
||
\q and he rescued them from the power of the enemy.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 11 But the waters covered their adversaries;
|
||
\q not one of them survived.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 12 Then they believed his words,
|
||
\q and they sang his praise.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 13 But they quickly forgot what he had done;
|
||
\q they did not wait for his instructions.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 14 They had insatiable cravings in the wilderness,
|
||
\q and they challenged God in the desert.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 15 He gave them their request,
|
||
\q but sent a disease that consumed their bodies.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 16 In the camp they became jealous of Moses
|
||
\q and Aaron, the holy priest of Yahweh.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan
|
||
\q and covered the followers of Abiram.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 18 Fire broke out among them;
|
||
\q the fire consumed the wicked.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 19 They made a calf at Horeb
|
||
\q and worshiped a cast metal figure.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 20 They traded the glory of God
|
||
\q for the image of a bull that eats grass.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 21 They forgot God their Savior,
|
||
\q who had done great deeds in Egypt.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 22 He had done wonderful things in the land of Ham
|
||
\q and mighty acts at the sea of Reeds.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 23 He would have decreed their destruction,
|
||
\q had not Moses, his chosen one, intervened with him in the breach
|
||
\q to turn away his anger from destroying them.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 24 Then they despised the fruitful land;
|
||
\q they did not believe his promise,
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 25 but grumbled in their tents,
|
||
\q and did not obey Yahweh.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 26 Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them
|
||
\q that he would let them die in the desert,
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 27 scatter their descendants among the nations,
|
||
\q and scatter them in foreign lands.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 28 They worshiped the Baal of Peor
|
||
\q and ate the sacrifices offered to the dead.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 29 They provoked him to anger with their actions,
|
||
\q and a plague broke out among them.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 30 Then Phinehas rose to intervene,
|
||
\q and the plague subsided.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 31 It was counted to him as a righteous deed
|
||
\q to all generations forever.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 32 They also angered Yahweh at the waters of Meribah,
|
||
\q and Moses suffered because of them.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 33 They made Moses bitter,
|
||
\q and he spoke rashly.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 34 They did not destroy the nations
|
||
\q as Yahweh had commanded them,
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 35 but they mingled with the nations
|
||
\q and learned their ways
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 36 and worshiped their idols,
|
||
\q which became a snare to them.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 37 They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 38 They shed innocent blood,
|
||
\q the blood of their sons and of their daughters,
|
||
\q whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
|
||
\q desecrating the land with blood.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 39 They were defiled by their deeds;
|
||
\q in their actions they were like prostitutes.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 40 So Yahweh was angry with his people,
|
||
\q and he despised his own people.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 41 He handed them over to the nations,
|
||
\q and those who hated them ruled over them.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 42 Their enemies oppressed them,
|
||
\q and they were brought into subjection to their authority.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 43 Many times he came to help them,
|
||
\q but they kept rebelling
|
||
\q and were brought low by their own sin.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 44 Nevertheless, he paid attention to their distress
|
||
\q when he heard their cry for help.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 45 He called to mind his covenant with them
|
||
\q and relented because of his covenant faithfulness.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 46 He caused all their conquerers
|
||
\q to have pity on them.
|
||
\b
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 47 Save us, Yahweh, our God.
|
||
\q Gather us from among the nations
|
||
\q so that we may give thanks to your holy name
|
||
\q and glory in your praises.
|
||
\b
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 48 May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised
|
||
\q from everlasting to everlasting.
|
||
\q All the people said, "Amen."
|
||
\q Praise Yahweh.
