Halelu-JAH. O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good, for his mercy endures for ever.

Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils

They became rash. They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:

They also joined themselves unto Baalpeor and ate the sacrifices for the dead.

And he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

Our fathers did not understand thy wonders in Egypt; they did not remember the multitude of thy mercies but rebelled by the sea, even at the Red sea.

They made a calf in Horeb and worshipped the molten image.

They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:

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.

They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, and so the plague was stayed.

Happy are those that keep judgment and he that does righteousness at all times.

And they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his word:

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting; and let all the people say, Amen. Halelu-JAH.

We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedly.

But were mingled among the Gentiles and learned their works.

And they served their idols, which were a snare unto them.

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.

Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eats grass.

Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

and remember his covenant with them and repent according to the multitude of his mercies.

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the Gentiles, that we might lift up thy holy name, that we might glory in thy praise.

Because they provoked his spirit to rebel, and he spoke it with his lips.

He reprehended the Red sea also, and it was dried up, so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.

Remember me, O LORD, with the favour that thou dost bear unto thy people; O visit me with thy saving health,

They gave themselves over to lust in the wilderness and tempted God in the desert.

Then they envied Moses in the camp and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

Then they believed his words; they sang his praise.

They forgot the God of their saving health, who had done great things in Egypt,

Thus they were defiled with their own works and went a whoring with their own inventions.

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

And that was counted unto him for righteousness from generation to generation for evermore.

Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?

But murmured in their tents and did not hearken unto the voice of the LORD.

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

He delivered them many times, but they rebelled at his counsel and were brought low for their iniquity.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions; and the plague broke in upon them.

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness,

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan and covered the company of Abiram.

And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

Nevertheless he would look upon their affliction and hear their cry

wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things upon the Red sea.

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.

He also caused those that carried them captives to have mercy upon them.

to overthrow their seed also among the Gentiles, and to scatter them in the lands.

Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

And he gave them into the hand of the Gentiles, and those that hated them ruled over them.

And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
