| 1 | Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] forever. |
| 2 | Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise? |
| 3 | Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times. |
| 4 | Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation, |
| 5 | That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance. |
| 6 | We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. |
| 7 | Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea. |
| 8 | Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known. |
| 9 | He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness. |
| 10 | And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. |
| 11 | And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left. |
| 12 | Then believed they his words; They sang his praise. |
| 13 | They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel, |
| 14 | But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert. |
| 15 | And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul. |
| 16 | They envied Moses also in the camp, [And] Aaron the saint of Jehovah. |
| 17 | The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram. |
| 18 | And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked. |
| 19 | They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image. |
| 20 | Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass. |
| 21 | They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt, |
| 22 | Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [And] terrible things by the Red Sea. |
| 23 | 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]. |
| 24 | Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word, |
| 25 | But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah. |
| 26 | Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness, |
| 27 | And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands. |
| 28 | They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead. |
| 29 | Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them. |
| 30 | Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed. |
| 31 | And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore. |
| 32 | They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes; |
| 33 | Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips. |
| 34 | They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them, |
| 35 | But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works, |
| 36 | And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them. |
| 37 | Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons, |
| 38 | 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. |
| 39 | Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings. |
| 40 | Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance. |
| 41 | And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them. |
| 42 | Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand. |
| 43 | Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity. |
| 44 | Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry: |
| 45 | And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses. |
| 46 | He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive. |
| 47 | Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise. |
| 48 | Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah. BOOK V Psalm 107 |
