Our fathers, in Egypt, understood not thy wonders, They remembered not the abounding of thy lovingkindnesses, but rebelled by the sea - at the Red Sea.

The lovingkindness of Yahweh, will I recall the praises of Yahweh, According to all that Yahweh hath bestowed upon us, - Even the abundance of goodness to the house of Israel, Which he bestowed upon them - According to his compassions and According to the abundance of his lovingkindness.

Thou, O Yahweh, wilt not restrain thy compassions from me, Thy lovingkindness and thy truthfulness, shall continually watch over me.

Hath GOD, forgotten to show favour? Or hath he shut up, in anger, his compassions? Selah.

Good is Yahweh to all, and, his tender compassions, are over all his works.
