GIVE thanks unto the Lord, for | he is gracious and his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Who can express the noble | acts of the | Lord or shew forth | all his | praise?

3 Blessed are they that alway· keep | judgement and do | righteousness.

4 Remember me, O Lord, according to the favour that thou bearest | unto thy | people: 0 | visit · me with thy sal | vation ;

[ocr errors]

5 That I may see the felicity | of· thy | chosen : and rejoice in the gladness of thy people, and give | thanks with | thine inheritance.

[ocr errors]

6 We have sinned with our fathers: we have done a miss, and | dealt | wickedly.

7 Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, neither kept they thy great goodness | in membrance: but were disobedient at the sea, even at the | Red sea.

[ocr errors]

8 Nevertheless, he helped them for his | Name's sake: that he might make his | pow · er | to · be | known.

9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up so he led them through the deep,· as through a wilderness.

[ocr errors]

10 And he saved them from the | adversary's | hand: and delivered them from the hand · of the enemy.

11 As for those that troubled them, the waters | overwhelmed them: there was not | one of · them left.

[ocr errors]

12 Then believed they his | words: and |· sang praise un | to him."

[ocr errors]

13 But within a while they for | gat · his | works : and would not a | bide his counsel.

14 But lust came upon them | in the | wilderness: and they | tempted | God in the desert. 15 And he gave them | their desire: and sent leanness with al. in | to their | soul. 16 They angered Moses also and Aaron the | saint of the

in · the | tents : Lord.

17 So the earth opened, and swallowed · up | Dathan and covered the congregation of· Abiram.

[ocr errors]

18 And the fire was kindled | in their | company: the flame | burnt up the ungodly.

[ocr errors]

19 They made a calf in | Horeb: and worshipped the mol·ten | image.

[ocr errors]

20 Thus they turned their glory: into the similitude of a calf that eat eth | hay.

21 And they forgat | God their | Saviour: who had done so great | things in Egypt.

22 Wondrous works in the land· of | Ham: and fearful things by the | Red | sea.

23 So he said, he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him | in the gap: to turn away his wrathful indignation, | lest he should destroy them.

24 Yea, they thought scorn of that | pleasant| land: and gave no | credence | unto his | word; 25 But murmured in their tents and hearkened not | un to the voice of the Lord.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

26 Then lift he up his hand against them : to over throw them in the | wilderness.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

27 To cast out their seed among the nations: and to scatter them in the lands.

[ocr errors]

28 They joined themselves unto | Baal | peor : and ate the offerings of the dead.

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their | own inventions: and the plague was great • among them.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

30 Then stood up | Phineas and prayed: and so the plague ceased.

31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness: among all posterities · for | ev · er

more.

[ocr errors]

32 They angered him also at the waters of strife: so that he punished | Moses | for their sakes;

[ocr errors]

33 Because they provoked his spirit: so that he spake unadvised.ly | with his lips. 34 Neither destroyed they the | heathen: as the Lord commanded them;

35 But were mingled among the | heathen: and || learned their works.

[ocr errors]

36 Insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay: yea, they offered their sons and their daughters | unto | devils;

37 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters: whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan; and the | land · was defiled with blood.

38 Thus were they stained with their own | works and went a whoring | with their | own · inventions.

[ocr errors]

39 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people: insomuch that he ab | horred his own inheritance.

[ocr errors]

40 And he gave them over into the hand of the heathen: and they that | hated them were | lords over them.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

oppressed them : and |

41 Their enemies had them in subjection.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

42 Many a time did he deliver them: but they rebelled against him with their own inventions, and were brought down | in their | wickedness. 43 Nevertheless, when he saw · their ad | versity: he heard | their · complaint.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

44 He thought upon his covenant, and pitied them, according unto the multitude of his | mercies: yea, he made all those that led them away | captive to pity them.

[ocr errors]

45 Deliver us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen: that we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, and make our boast of thy praise.

[ocr errors]

46 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and world | with out | end: and let all the | people | say, · A | men.

Ocious and his mercy endureth for ever.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

2 Let them give thanks whom the Lord hath redeemed: and delivered from the hand of the | enemy.

3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west: from the | north, · and from the south.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

4 They went astray in the wilderness | out of the way: and | found no | city to | dwell in;

[ocr errors]

5 Hungry | and | thirsty: their | soul | faint · ed in them.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

6 So thy cried unto the Lord | in · their | trouble: and he delivered them from their distress. 7 He led them forth by the right way: that they might go to the city where they | dwelt. 8 O that men would therefore praise the Lord · for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the children of men!

9 For he satisfieth the empty soul: and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

10 Such as sit in darkness, and in the | shadow of death: being fast | bound in | misery · and | iron. 11 Because they rebelled against the words of the Lord and lightly regarded the | counsel of the most Highest.

12 He also brought down their heart · through | heaviness: they fell down, and there was none • to help them.

[ocr errors]

13 So when they cried unto the Lord | in their | trouble: he delivered them out ・ of | their· dis |

tress.

[ocr errors]

14 For he brought them out of darkness, and out of the shadow of death: and | brake their | bonds in sunder.

.

15 O that men would therefore praise the Lord for his goodness: and declare the wonders that he doeth for the | children of | men!

[ocr errors]
[ocr errors]

16 For he hath broken the gates of brass: and smitten the bars of iron in sunder. 17 Foolish men are plagued for their offence: and because of their wickedness.

[ocr errors]

18 Their soul abhorred all | manner · of | meat : and they were even | hard at | death's door.

19 So when they cried unto the Lord in their trouble: he delivered them out of their. distress.
