| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise? |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7When our ancestors were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Yet he saved them for his name's sake, to make his mighty power known. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Then they believed his promises and sang his praise. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt, |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23So he said he would destroy them-- had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him to keep his wrath from destroying them. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the wilderness, |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods; |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29they aroused the LORD's anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32By the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them; |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses' lips. |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them, |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods. |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38They shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was desecrated by their blood. |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves. |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance. |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41He gave them into the hands of the nations, and their foes ruled over them. |
| 42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 42Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power. |
| 43[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 43Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin. |
| 44[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 44Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry; |
| 45[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 45for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented. |
| 46[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 46He caused all who held them captive to show them mercy. |
| 47[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 47Save us, LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise. |
| 48[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 48Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, "Amen!" Praise the LORD. |
