| 1 | Praise Jah. Confess to Jehovah, for he is good, for his mercy is forever. | Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! | Praise the LORD. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. | |
| 2 | Who shall speak the powers of Jehovah? will he cause all his praises to be heard? | Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD, or declare all his praise? | Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the LORD or fully declare his praise? | |
| 3 | Happy they watching judgment, doing justice in all time. | Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times! | Blessed are those who act justly, who always do what is right. | |
| 4 | Remember us, O Jehovah: thy people with acceptance: review us with thy salvation; | Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them, | Remember me, LORD, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them, | |
| 5 | To see the goodness of thy chosen ones, to be glad in the gladness of thy nation, to boast with thine inheritance. | that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance. | that 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 | We sinned with our fathers, we acted perversely, we did evil. | Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness. | We have sinned, even as our ancestors did; we have done wrong and acted wickedly. | |
| 7 | Our fathers considered not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; they embittered at the sea, the sea of sedge; | Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea. | When 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 | And he will save them for sake of his name, to make known his powers. | Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make known his mighty power. | Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, to make his mighty power known. | |
| 9 | And he will rebuke in the sea of sedge, and it will be dried up: and he will lead them in the depths as the desert. | He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry, and he led them through the deep as through a desert. | He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; he led them through the depths as through a desert. | |
| 10 | And he will save them from the hand of him hating, and he will redeem them from the hand of the enemy. | So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy. | He saved them from the hand of the foe; from the hand of the enemy he redeemed them. | |
| 11 | And the waters will cover their enemies: one of them was not left. | And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left. | The waters covered their adversaries; not one of them survived. | |
| 12 | And they will believe in his words, they will sing his praise. | Then they believed his words; they sang his praise. | Then they believed his promises and sang his praise. | |
| 13 | They hastened; they forget his works; they waited not for his counsel. | But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel. | But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his plan to unfold. | |
| 14 | And they will desire a desire in the desert, and they will tempt God in the waste. | But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert; | In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wilderness they put God to the test. | |
| 15 | And he will give to them their asking; and he will send leanness into their soul. | he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them. | So he gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease among them. | |
| 16 | And they will be jealous against Moses in the camp, against Aaron the holy of Jehovah. | When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD, | In the camp they grew envious of Moses and of Aaron, who was consecrated to the LORD. | |
| 17 | The earth will open and will swallow down Dathan, and will cover the assembly of Abiram. | the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. | The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it buried the company of Abiram. | |
| 18 | And a fire will be kindled in their assembly; the flame will burn up the unjust. | Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. | Fire blazed among their followers; a flame consumed the wicked. | |
| 19 | They will make a calf in Horeb, and they will worship to the molten image. | They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image. | At Horeb they made a calf and worshiped an idol cast from metal. | |
| 20 | And they will change their glory into the likeness of an ox eating grass. | They exchanged the glory of God for the image of an ox that eats grass. | They exchanged their glorious God for an image of a bull, which eats grass. | |
| 21 | They forgat God saving them, doing great things in Egypt. | They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, | They forgot the God who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt, | |
| 22 | Wonders in the land of Ham, terrible things in the sea of sedge. | wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. | miracles in the land of Ham and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. | |
| 23 | And he will say to destroy them unless Moses his chosen stood in the breaking before him to turn away his wrath from destroying. | Therefore he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them. | So 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 | And they will despise in the land of desire; they trusted not to his word: | Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise. | Then they despised the pleasant land; they did not believe his promise. | |
| 25 | And they will murmur in their tents; they heard not to the voice of Jehovah. | They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD. | They grumbled in their tents and did not obey the LORD. | |
| 26 | And he will lift up his hand against them: he will cause them to fall in the desert: | Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness, | So he swore to them with uplifted hand that he would make them fall in the wilderness, | |
| 27 | And to cause their seed to fall among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands. | and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands. | make their descendants fall among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands. | |
| 28 | And they will be bound to Baalpeor, and they will eat the sacrifices of the dead. | Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead; | They yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods; | |
| 29 | And they will irritate in their doings, and the blow will break upon them. | they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them. | they aroused the LORD’s anger by their wicked deeds, and a plague broke out among them. | |
| 30 | And Phinehas will stand and intercede, and the blow will be restrained. | Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stayed. | But Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was checked. | |
| 31 | And it will be reckoned to him for justice to generation and generation, even to forever. | And that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever. | This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come. | |
| 32 | And they will anger him at the water of strife, and it will be evil to Moses on account of them: | They angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account, | By the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them; | |
| 33 | For they embittered his spirit, and he talked idly with his lips. | for they made his spirit bitter, and he spoke rashly with his lips. | for they rebelled against the Spirit of God, and rash words came from Moses’ lips. | |
| 34 | They did not destroy the peoples which Jehovah said to them. | They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them, | They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them, | |
| 35 | And they will mingle with the nations, and they will learn their works. | but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did. | but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs. | |
| 36 | And they will serve their images, and they will be for a snare to them. | They served their idols, which became a snare to them. | They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. | |
| 37 | And they will sacrifice their sons and their daughters to lords. | They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; | They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to false gods. | |
| 38 | And they will pour out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and their daughters which they sacrificed to the images of Canaan: and the land will be polluted with bloods. | they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. | They 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 | And they will be defiled with their works: and they will commit fornication in their doings. | Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds. | They defiled themselves by what they did; by their deeds they prostituted themselves. | |
| 40 | And the anger of Jehovah will kindle against his people, and he will abhor his inheritance. | Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage; | Therefore the LORD was angry with his people and abhorred his inheritance. | |
| 41 | And he will give them into the hand of the nations; and they hating them shall rule over them. | he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them. | He gave them into the hands of the nations, and their foes ruled over them. | |
| 42 | And their enemies will press them, and they shall be humbled under their hand. | Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power. | Their enemies oppressed them and subjected them to their power. | |
| 43 | Many times he will deliver them, and they will embitter with their counsel, and they will be brought low in their iniquity. | Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity. | Many times he delivered them, but they were bent on rebellion and they wasted away in their sin. | |
| 44 | And he will look upon straits to them in his hearing their wailing. | Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry. | Yet he took note of their distress when he heard their cry; | |
| 45 | And he will remember his covenant to them, and he will console according to the multitude of his mercy. | For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love. | for their sake he remembered his covenant and out of his great love he relented. | |
| 46 | And he will give them for compassions before all those carrying them away captive. | He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive. | He caused all who held them captive to show them mercy. | |
| 47 | Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations to confess to thy holy name, to boast in thy praise. | Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise. | Save 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 | Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel from forever and even to forever: and all the people saying, Amen. Praise ye Jah. | Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD! | Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD. | |
