Text size

1 Praise ye the LORD O give thanks unto the LORD for he is good for his mercy endureth for ever ⚑

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD who can shew forth all his praise ⚑

3 Blessed are they that keep judgment and he that doeth righteousness at all times ⚑

4 Remember me O LORD with the favour that thou bearest unto thy people O visit me with thy salvation ⚑

5 That I may see the good 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 mercies but provoked him 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 the 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 enemies 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 the LORD ⚑

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 the molten image ⚑

20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass ⚑

21 They forgat God their saviour which 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 the LORD ⚑

26 Therefore he lifted up his hand against them to overthrow them in the wilderness ⚑

27 To overthrow their seed also among the nations and to 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 inventions 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 counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore ⚑

32 They angered him also at the waters of strife so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes ⚑

33 Because they provoked his spirit so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips ⚑

34 They did not destroy the nations concerning whom the LORD commanded them ⚑

35 But were mingled among the heathen and learned their works ⚑

36 And they served their idols which were a snare unto them ⚑

37 Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils ⚑

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 own works and went a whoring with their own inventions ⚑

40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance ⚑

41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen 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 provoked him with their counsel and were brought low for their iniquity ⚑

44 Nevertheless he regarded their affliction when he heard their cry ⚑

45 And he remembered for them his covenant and repented according to the multitude of his mercies ⚑

46 He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives ⚑

47 Save us O LORD our God and gather us from among the heathen to give thanks unto thy holy name and to triumph in thy praise ⚑

48 Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting and let all the people say Amen Praise ye the LORD ⚑
