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 Baalpeor, 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.

¹¹ And the waters ^H4325 covered ^H3680 their enemies: ^H6862 there was not one ^H259 of them left. ^H3498

¹² Then believed ^H539 they his words; ^H1697 they sang ^H7891 his praise. ^H8416

¹³ They soon ^H4116 forgat ^H7911 his works; ^H4639 they waited ^H2442 not for his counsel: ^H6098

¹⁴ But lusted ^H183 exceedingly ^H8378 in the wilderness, ^H4057 and tempted ^H5254 God ^H410 in the desert. ^H3452

¹⁷ The earth ^H776 opened ^H6605 and swallowed up ^H1104 Dathan, ^H1885 and covered ^H3680 the company ^H5712 of Abiram. ^H48

¹⁸ And a fire ^H784 was kindled ^H1197 in their company; ^H5712 the flame ^H3852 burned up ^H3857 the wicked. ^H7563

¹⁹ They made ^H6213 a calf ^H5695 in Horeb, ^H2722 and worshipped ^H7812 the molten image. ^H4541

²⁰ Thus they changed ^H4171 their glory ^H3519 into the similitude ^H8403 of an ox ^H7794 that eateth ^H398 grass. ^H6212

²¹ They forgat ^H7911 God ^H410 their saviour, ^H3467 which had done ^H6213 great things ^H1419 in Egypt; ^H4714

²² Wondrous works ^H6381 in the land ^H776 of Ham, ^H2526 and terrible things ^H3372 by the Red ^H5488 sea. ^H3220

²³ Therefore he said ^H559 that he would destroy ^H8045 them, had not ^H3884 Moses ^H4872 his chosen ^H972 stood ^H5975 before ^H6440 him in the breach, ^H6556 to turn away ^H7725 his wrath, ^H2534 lest he should destroy ^H7843 them.

²⁵ But murmured ^H7279 in their tents, ^H168 and hearkened ^H8085 not unto the voice ^H6963 of the LORD. ^H3068

²⁶ Therefore he lifted up ^H5375 his hand ^H3027 against them, to overthrow ^H5307 them in the wilderness: ^H4057

²⁷ To overthrow ^H5307 their seed ^H2233 also among the nations, ^H1471 and to scatter ^H2219 them in the lands. ^H776

²⁸ They joined ^H6775 themselves also unto Baalpeor, ^H1187 and ate ^H398 the sacrifices ^H2077 of the dead. ^H4191

²⁹ Thus they provoked him to anger ^H3707 with their inventions: ^H4611 and the plague ^H4046 brake in ^H6555 upon them.

³⁰ Then stood up ^H5975 Phinehas, ^H6372 and executed judgment: ^H6419 and so the plague ^H4046 was stayed. ^H6113

³¹ And that was counted ^H2803 unto him for righteousness ^H6666 unto all ^H1755 generations ^H1755 for ^H5704 evermore. ^H5769

³⁴ They did not destroy ^H8045 the nations, ^H5971 concerning whom the LORD ^H3068 commanded ^H559 them:

³⁶ And they served ^H5647 their idols: ^H6091 which were a snare ^H4170 unto them.

³⁷ Yea, they sacrificed ^H2076 their sons ^H1121 and their daughters ^H1323 unto devils, ^H7700

³⁸ And shed ^H8210 innocent ^H5355 blood, ^H1818 even the blood ^H1818 of their sons ^H1121 and of their daughters, ^H1323 whom they sacrificed ^H2076 unto the idols ^H6091 of Canaan: ^H3667 and the land ^H776 was polluted ^H2610 with blood. ^H1818

³⁹ Thus were they defiled ^H2930 with their own works, ^H4639 and went a whoring ^H2181 with their own inventions. ^H4611

⁴⁰ Therefore was the wrath ^H639 of the LORD ^H3068 kindled ^H2734 against his people, ^H5971 insomuch that he abhorred ^H8581 his own inheritance. ^H5159

⁴¹ And he gave ^H5414 them into the hand ^H3027 of the heathen; ^H1471 and they that hated ^H8130 them ruled ^H4910 over them.

⁴³ Many ^H7227 times ^H6471 did he deliver ^H5337 them; but they provoked ^H4784 him with their counsel, ^H6098 and were brought low ^H4355 for their iniquity. ^H5771

⁴⁴ Nevertheless he regarded ^H7200 their affliction, ^H6862 when he heard ^H8085 their cry: ^H7440

⁴⁵ And he remembered ^H2142 for them his covenant, ^H1285 and repented ^H5162 according to the multitude ^H7230 of his mercies. ^H2617

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.

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.

¹ Praise ye Jah, give thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age, `is' His kindness.

² Who doth utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? Soundeth all His praise?

³ O the happiness of those keeping judgment, Doing righteousness at all times.

⁴ Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.

⁵ To look on the good of Thy chosen ones, To rejoice in the joy of Thy nation, To boast myself with Thine inheritance.

⁶ We have sinned with our fathers, We have done perversely, we have done wickedly.

⁷ Our fathers in Egypt, Have not considered wisely Thy wonders, They have not remembered The abundance of Thy kind acts, And provoke by the sea, at the sea of Suph.

⁸ And He saveth them for His name's sake, To make known His might,

⁹ And rebuketh the sea of Suph, and it is dried up, And causeth them to go Through depths as a wilderness.

¹⁰ And He saveth them from the hand Of him who is hating, And redeemeth them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹ And waters cover their adversaries, One of them hath not been left.

¹² And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,

¹³ They have hasted -- forgotten His works, They have not waited for His counsel.

¹⁴ And they lust greatly in a wilderness, And try God in a desert.

¹⁵ And He giveth to them their request, And sendeth leanness into their soul.

¹⁶ And they are envious of Moses in the camp, Of Aaron, Jehovah's holy one.

¹⁷ Earth openeth, and swalloweth up Dathan, And covereth over the company of Abiram.

¹⁸ And fire burneth among their company, A flame setteth on fire the wicked.

¹⁹ They make a calf in Horeb, And bow themselves to a molten image,

²⁰ And change their Honour Into the form of an ox eating herbs.

²¹ They have forgotten God their saviour, The doer of great things in Egypt,

²² Of wonderful things in the land of Ham, Of fearful things by the sea of Suph.

²³ And He saith to destroy them, Unless Moses, His chosen one, Had stood in the breach before Him, To turn back His wrath from destroying.

²⁴ And they kick against the desirable land, They have not given credence to His word.

²⁵ And they murmur in their tents, They have not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah.

²⁶ And He lifteth up His hand to them, To cause them to fall in a wilderness,

²⁷ And to cause their seed to fall among nations, And to scatter them through lands.

²⁸ And they are coupled to Baal-Peor, And eat the sacrifices of the dead,

²⁹ And they provoke to anger by their actions, And a plague breaketh forth upon them,

³⁰ And Phinehas standeth, and executeth judgment, And the plague is restrained,

³¹ And it is reckoned to him to righteousness, To all generations -- unto the age.

³² And they cause wrath by the waters of Meribah, And it is evil to Moses for their sakes,

³³ For they have provoked his spirit, And he speaketh wrongfully with his lips.

³⁴ They have not destroyed the peoples, As Jehovah had said to them,

³⁵ And mix themselves among nations, and learn their works,

³⁶ And serve their idols, And they are to them for a snare.

³⁷ And they sacrifice their sons And their daughters to destroyers,

³⁸ And they shed innocent blood -- Blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they have sacrificed to idols of Canaan, And the land is profaned with blood.

³⁹ And they are defiled with their works, And commit whoredom in their habitual doings.

⁴⁰ And the anger of Jehovah Is kindled against His people, And He doth abominate His inheritance.

⁴¹ And giveth them into the hand of nations, And those hating them rule over them,

⁴² And their enemies oppress them, And they are humbled under their hand.

⁴³ Many times He doth deliver them, And they rebel in their counsel, And they are brought low in their iniquity.

⁴⁴ And He looketh on their distress When He heareth their cry,

⁴⁵ And remembereth for them His covenant, And is comforted, According to the abundance of His kindness.

⁴⁶ And He appointeth them for mercies Before all their captors.

⁴⁷ Save us, O Jehovah our God, and gather us from the nations, To give thanks to Thy holy name, To glory in Thy praise.

⁴⁸ Blessed `is' Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age even unto the age. And all the people said, `Amen, praise Jah!'

¹ Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

² Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? [who] can shew 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 [thy] favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation:

⁵ That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy 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 in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.

⁸ Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.

⁹ And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps 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 oppressors: there was not one of them left.

¹² Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

¹³ They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:

¹⁴ And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted ùGod in the desert.

¹⁵ Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

¹⁶ And they envied Moses 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 fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;

²⁰ And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

²¹ They forgot ùGod their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,

²² Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.

²³ And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy [them].

²⁴ And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word,

²⁵ But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

²⁶ And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness;

²⁷ And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

²⁸ And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;

²⁹ And they provoked [him] to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.

³⁰ Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed;

³¹ And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.

³² And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;

³³ For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

³⁴ They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them;

³⁵ But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works;

³⁶ And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them:

³⁷ And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

³⁸ And shed innocent blood, 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 And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings.

⁴⁰ Then was the anger 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 And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴³ Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked [him] by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.

⁴⁴ But 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 loving-kindnesses;

⁴⁶ And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives.

⁴⁷ Save us, 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 eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!

---

¹ Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, For his loving kindness endures forever.

² Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, Or fully declare all his praise?

³ Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

⁴ Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,

⁵ That 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.

⁶ We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.

⁷ Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn't remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, 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 known.

⁹ He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; So he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

¹⁰ He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹ The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.

¹² Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.

¹³ They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel,

¹⁴ But gave in to craving in the desert, And tested God in the wasteland.

¹⁵ He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

¹⁶ They envied Moses also in the camp, And Aaron, Yahweh's saint.

¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

¹⁸ A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, And worshiped a molten image.

²⁰ Thus they exchanged their glory For an image of a bull that eats grass.

²¹ They forgot God, their Savior, Who had done great things in Egypt,

²² Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And awesome things by the Red Sea.

²³ Therefore 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.

²⁴ Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn't believe his word,

²⁵ But murmured in their tents, And didn't listen to Yahweh's voice.

²⁶ Therefore he swore to them That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

²⁷ That he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

²⁸ They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁹ Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.

³⁰ Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, So the plague was stopped.

³¹ That was credited to him for righteousness, For all generations to come.

³² They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

³³ Because they were rebellious against his spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.

³⁴ They didn't destroy the peoples, As Yahweh commanded them,

³⁵ But mixed themselves with the nations, And learned their works.

³⁶ They served their idols, Which became a snare to them.

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

³⁸ They 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.

³⁹ Thus were they defiled with their works, And prostituted themselves in their deeds.

⁴⁰ Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.

⁴¹ He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.

⁴² Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴³ Many times he delivered 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 He remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

⁴⁶ He made them also to be pitied By all those who carried them captive.

⁴⁷ Save us, Yahweh, our God, Gather us from among the nations, To give thanks to your holy name, To triumph in your praise!

⁴⁸ Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, "Amen." Praise Yah!

¹ Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

² Who is able to give an account of the great acts of the Lord, or to make clear all his praise?

³ Happy are they whose decisions are upright, and he who does righteousness at all times.

⁴ Keep me in mind, O Lord, when you are good to your people; O let your salvation come to me;

⁵ So that I may see the well-being of the people of your selection, and have a part in the joy of your nation, and take pride in your heritage.

⁶ We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.

⁷ Our fathers did not give thought to your wonders in Egypt; they did not keep in memory the great number of your mercies, but gave you cause for wrath at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

⁸ But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.

⁹ By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.

¹⁰ And he took them safely out of the hands of their haters, and kept them from the attacks of those who were against them.

¹¹ And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.

¹² Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.

¹³ But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

¹⁴ They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.

¹⁵ And he gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease into their souls.

¹⁶ They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.

¹⁷ The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.

¹⁸ And a fire was lighted among their tents; the sinners were burned up by the flames.

¹⁹ They made a young ox in Horeb, and gave worship to an image of gold.

²⁰ And their glory was changed into the image of an ox, whose food is grass.

²¹ They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

²² Works of wonder in the land of Ham, and things of fear by the Red Sea.

²³ And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.

²⁴ They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;

²⁵ Talking against him secretly in their tents, they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord.

²⁶ So he made an oath against them, to put an end to them in the waste land:

²⁷ That their children might be mixed among the nations, and sent away into other lands.

²⁸ And they were joined to Baal-peor, and took part in the offerings to the dead.

²⁹ So they made him angry by their behaviour; and he sent disease on them.

³⁰ Then Phinehas got up, and made prayer for them; and the disease went no farther.

³¹ And all the generations coming after him kept the memory of his righteousness for ever.

³² They made God angry again at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled because of them;

³³ For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things.

³⁴ They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said;

³⁵ But they were joined to the nations, learning their works.

³⁶ And they gave worship to images; which were a danger to them:

³⁷ They even made offerings of their sons and their daughters to evil spirits,

³⁸ And gave the blood of their sons and their daughters who had done no wrong, offering them to the images of Canaan; and the land was made unclean with blood.

³⁹ So they became unclean through their works, going after their evil desires.

⁴⁰ Then the wrath of the Lord was burning against his people, and he was angry with his heritage.

⁴¹ And he gave them into the hands of the nations; and they were ruled by their haters.

⁴² By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.

⁴³ Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.

⁴⁴ But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

⁴⁵ And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.

⁴⁶ He put pity into the hearts of those who made them prisoners.

⁴⁷ Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.

⁴⁸ Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.
