¹Y’all praise YHWH!

Y’all give thanks to YHWH, for ʜᴇ is good,

for ʜɪꜱ lovingkindness endures forever.

²Who can declare the mighty acts of YHWH,

or proclaim all ʜɪꜱ praise?

³Blessed are those who keep justice,

who does what is right at all times.

⁴Remember me, YHWH, when you show favor to your people.

Attend to me with your salvation,

⁵that I may see the prosperity of your chosen,

that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,

that I may glory with your inheritance.

⁶We have sinned with our ancestors.

We have done wrong

and acted wickedly.

⁷Our ancestors didn’t appreciate your miraculous works in Egypt.

They didn’t remember the multitude of your lovingkindnesses,

Instead the rebelled at the sea, the Red Sea.

⁸Nevertheless ʜᴇ saved them for ʜɪꜱ name’s sake,

that ʜᴇ might make ʜɪꜱ mighty power known.

⁹Hᴇ rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up;

so ʜᴇ led them through the depths as through a desert.

¹⁰Hᴇ saved them from the hand of the one who hated them,

and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹The waters covered their adversaries.

There was not one of them left.

¹²Then they believed ʜɪꜱ words.

They sang ʜɪꜱ praise.

¹³They soon forgot ʜɪꜱ works.

They didn’t wait for ʜɪꜱ counsel,

¹⁴but gave in to craving in the desert,

and tested God in the wasteland.

¹⁵Hᴇ gave them their request,

but sent wasting disease to their bodies.

¹⁶They envied Moses also in the camp,

and Aaron, YHWH’s saint.

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan,

and covered the company of Abiram.

¹⁸A fire was kindled in their company.

The flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb,

and worshiped a molten image.

²⁰Thus they exchanged their glory

for an image of a bull that eats grass.

²¹They forgot God, their Savior,

who had done great things in Egypt,

²²wondrous works in the land of Ham,

and awesome things by the Red Sea.

²³Therefore he said that he would destroy them,

had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach,

to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.

²⁴Yes, they despised the pleasant land.

They didn’t believe ʜɪꜱ word,

²⁵but murmured in their tents,

and didn’t listen to YHWH’s voice.

²⁶Therefore ʜᴇ swore to them

that ʜᴇ would overthrow them in the wilderness,

²⁷that ʜᴇ would overthrow their offspring among the nations,

and scatter them in the lands.

²⁸They joined themselves also to Baal Peor,

and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁹Thus they provoked ʜɪᴍ to anger with their deeds.

The plague broke in on them.

³⁰Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment,

so the plague was stopped.

³¹That was credited to him for righteousness,

for all generations to come.

³²They angered him also at the waters of Meribah,

so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

³³because they were rebellious against his spirit,

he spoke rashly with his lips.

³⁴They didn’t destroy the peoples,

as YHWH commanded them,

³⁵but mixed themselves with the nations,

and learned their works.

³⁶They served their idols,

which became a snare to them.

³⁷Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.

³⁸They shed innocent blood,

even the blood of their sons and of their daughters,

whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan.

The land was polluted with blood.

³⁹Thus they were defiled with their works,

and prostituted themselves in their deeds.

⁴⁰Therefore YHWH burned with anger against ʜɪꜱ people.

Hᴇ abhorred ʜɪꜱ inheritance.

⁴¹Hᴇ gave them into the hand of the nations.

Those who hated them ruled over them.

⁴²Their enemies also oppressed them.

They were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴³Hᴇ rescued them many times,

but they were rebellious in their counsel,

and were brought low in their iniquity.

⁴⁴Nevertheless ʜᴇ regarded their distress,

when ʜᴇ heard their cry.

⁴⁵Hᴇ remembered for them ʜɪꜱ covenant,

and repented according to the multitude of ʜɪꜱ lovingkindnesses.

⁴⁶Hᴇ made them also to be pitied

by all those who carried them captive.

⁴⁷Save us, YHWH, our God,

gather us from among the nations,

to give thanks to your holy name,

to triumph in your praise!

⁴⁸Blessed be YHWH, the God of Israel,

from everlasting even to everlasting!

Let all the people say, “Amen.”

Y’all praise YHWH!
