| 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!' |
