1Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

1Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, since he is good, for his gracious love exists forever.

2Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare all His praise?

2Who can fully describe the mighty acts of the LORD or proclaim all his praises?

3Blessed are those who keep justice, And he who does righteousness at all times!

3How happy are those who enforce justice, who live righteously all the time.

7Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders; They did not remember the multitude of Your mercies, But rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

7In Egypt, our ancestors neither comprehended your awesome deeds nor remembered your abundant gracious love. Instead, they rebelled beside the sea, the Reed Sea.

8Nevertheless He saved them for His name’s sake, That He might make His mighty power known.

8He delivered for the sake of his name, to make his power known.

9He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it dried up; So He led them through the depths, As through the wilderness.

9He shouted at the Reed Sea and it dried up; and led them through the sea as though through a desert.

10He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

10He delivered them from the power of their foe; redeeming them from the power of their enemy.

11The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.

11The water overwhelmed their enemies, so that not one of them survived.

12Then they believed His words; They sang His praise.

12Then they believed his word and sung his praise.

13They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel,

13But they quickly forgot his deeds and did not wait for his counsel.

14But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tested God in the desert.

14They were overwhelmed with craving in the wilderness, so God tested them in the wasteland.

15And He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

15God granted them their request, but sent leanness into their lives.

16When they envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron the saint of the LORD,

16They were envious of Moses in the camp, and of Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

18A fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

18Then a fire burned among their company, a flame that set the wicked ablaze.

19They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped the molded image.

19They fashioned a calf at Horeb and worshipped a carved image.

20Thus they changed their glory Into the image of an ox that eats grass.

21They forgot God their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,

22Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Awesome things by the Red Sea.

22awesome deeds in the land of Ham, astonishing deeds at the Reed Sea.

23Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath, lest He destroy them.

23He would have destroyed them but for Moses, his chosen one, who stood in the breach before him to avert his destructive wrath.

24Then they despised the pleasant land; They did not believe His word,

24They rejected the desirable land, and they didn't trust his promise.

25But complained in their tents, And did not heed the voice of the LORD.

25They murmured in their tents, and didn't listen to the voice of the LORD.

26Therefore He raised His hand in an oath against them, To overthrow them in the wilderness,

26So he swore an oath concerning them— that he would cause them to die in the wilderness,

27To overthrow their descendants among the nations, And to scatter them in the lands.

27to cause their children to perish among the nations and be scattered among many lands.

30But Phinehas intervened and prayed so that the plague was restrained.

31And that was accounted to him for righteousness To all generations forevermore.

31And it was credited to him as a righteous act, from generation to generation—to eternity.

32They angered Him also at the waters of strife, So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;

32They provoked wrath at the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered on account of them.

33Because they rebelled against His Spirit, So that he spoke rashly with his lips.

33For they rebelled against him, so that he spoke thoughtlessly with his lips.

34They did not destroy the peoples, Concerning whom the LORD had commanded them,

34They never destroyed the people, as the LORD had commanded them.

35Instead, they mingled among the nations and learned their ways.

36They served their idols, Which became a snare to them.

36They worshipped their idols, and this became a trap for them.

37They even sacrificed their sons And their daughters to demons,

40The LORD's anger burned against his people, so that he despised his own inheritance.

43Many times He delivered them; But they rebelled in their counsel, And were brought low for their iniquity.

43He delivered them many times, but they demonstrated rebellion by their evil plans; therefore they sunk deep in their sins.

44Nevertheless He regarded their affliction, When He heard their cry;

44Yet when he saw their distress and heard their cries for help,

45And for their sake He remembered His covenant, And relented according to the multitude of His mercies.

45he remembered his covenant with them, and so relented according to the greatness of his gracious love.

46He also made them to be pitied By all those who carried them away captive.

47Save us, O LORD our God, And gather us from among the Gentiles, To give thanks to Your holy name, To triumph in Your praise.

47Deliver us, LORD our God, gather us from among the nations so we may praise your holy name and rejoice in praising you.
