Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, and his loyal love endures! |
2
|
Who can adequately recount the LORD's mighty acts, or relate all his praiseworthy deeds? |
3
|
How blessed are those who promote justice, and do what is right all the time! |
4
|
Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people! Pay attention to me, when you deliver, |
5
|
so I may see the prosperity of your chosen ones, rejoice along with your nation, and boast along with the people who belong to you. |
6
|
We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, we have done evil. |
7
|
Our ancestors in Egypt failed to appreciate your miraculous deeds, they failed to remember your many acts of loyal love, and they rebelled at the sea, by the Red Sea. |
8
|
Yet he delivered them for the sake of his reputation, that he might reveal his power. |
9
|
He shouted at the Red Sea and it dried up; he led them through the deep water as if it were a desert. |
10
|
He delivered them from the power of the one who hated them, and rescued them from the power of the enemy. |
11
|
The water covered their enemies; not even one of them survived. |
12
|
They believed his promises; they sang praises to him. |
13
|
They quickly forgot what he had done; they did not wait for his instructions. |
14
|
In the wilderness they had an insatiable craving for meat; they challenged God in the desert. |
15
|
He granted their request, then struck them with a disease. |
16
|
In the camp they resented Moses, and Aaron, the LORD's holy priest. |
17
|
The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it engulfed the group led by Abiram. |
18
|
Fire burned their group; the flames scorched the wicked. |
19
|
They made an image of a calf at Horeb, and worshiped a metal idol. |
20
|
They traded their majestic God for the image of an ox that eats grass. |
21
|
They rejected the God who delivered them, the one who performed great deeds in Egypt, |
22
|
amazing feats in the land of Ham, mighty acts by the Red Sea. |
23
|
He threatened to destroy them, but Moses, his chosen one, interceded with him and turned back his destructive anger. |
24
|
They rejected the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise. |
25
|
They grumbled in their tents; they did not obey the LORD. |
26
|
So he made a solemn vow that he would make them die in the desert, |
27
|
make their descendants die among the nations, and scatter them among foreign lands. |
28
|
They worshiped Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead. |
29
|
They made the LORD angry by their actions, and a plague broke out among them. |
30
|
Phinehas took a stand and intervened, and the plague subsided. |
31
|
This brought him a reward, an eternal gift. |
32
|
They made him angry by the waters of Meribah, and Moses suffered because of them, |
33
|
for they aroused his temper, and he spoke rashly. |
34
|
They did not destroy the nations, as the LORD had commanded them to do. |
35
|
They mixed in with the nations and learned their ways. |
36
|
They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them. |
37
|
They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons. |
38
|
They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted by bloodshed. |
39
|
They were defiled by their deeds, and unfaithful in their actions. |
40
|
So the LORD was angry with his people and despised the people who belong to him. |
41
|
He handed them over to the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them. |
42
|
Their enemies oppressed them; they were subject to their authority. |
43
|
Many times he delivered them, but they had a rebellious attitude, and degraded themselves by their sin. |
44
|
Yet he took notice of their distress, when he heard their cry for help. |
45
|
He remembered his covenant with them, and relented because of his great loyal love. |
46
|
He caused all their conquerors to have pity on them. |
47
|
Deliver us, O LORD, our God! Gather us from among the nations! Then we will give thanks to your holy name, and boast about your praiseworthy deeds. |
48
|
The LORD God of Israel deserves praise, in the future and forevermore. Let all the people say, "We agree! Praise the LORD!" Book 5 (Psalms 107-150) |
