1Alleluia. Acknowledge ye to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is without end.
2Who shall speak of the powers of the Lord; shall make known all his praisings?
3Blessed be they that keep doom; and do rightfulness or rightwiseness in all time.
4Lord, have thou mind on us, in the good pleasance of thy people; visit thou us in thine health.
5To see in the goodness of thy chosen men, to be glad in the gladness of thy folk; that thou be praised with thine heritage.
6We have sinned with our fathers; we have done unjustly, we have done wickedness.
7Our fathers in Egypt understood not thy marvels; they were not mindful of the multitude of thy mercy. And they going into the sea, into the Red Sea, stirred him to wrath;
8and he saved them for his name, that he should make known his power.
9And he parted the Red Sea, and it was dried; and he led forth them in the depths of waters, as in desert.
10And he saved them from the hand of haters; and he again-bought them from the hand of the enemy.
11And the waters covered men troubling them; one of them abode not.
12And they believed to his words; and they praised the praising of him.
13They had soon done, they forgat his works; and they abided not his counsel.
14And they coveted covetousness in desert; and tempted God in a place without water.
15And he gave to them the asking of them; and he sent fullness into the souls of them.
16And they wrathed Moses in the castles or tents; Aaron, the holy man of the Lord.
17The earth was opened, and swal-lowed down Dathan; and covered on the congregation of Abiram.
18And fire burnt on high in the synagogue of them; flame burnt the sinners.
19And they made a calf in Horeb; and worshipped a molten image.
20And they exchanged their glory; into the likeness of a calf eating hay.
21They forgat God, that saved them, that did great works in Egypt,
22marvels in the land of Ham; fearedful things in the Red Sea.
23And God said, that he would lose them; and he would have, if Moses, his chosen man, had not stood in the breaking of his sight. That he should turn away his ire; lest he lost them.
24And they had the desirable land for nought, for they believed not to his word,
25and they grutched in their taber-nacles; they heard not the voice of the Lord.
26And he raised his hand on them; to cast down them in desert.
27And to cast away their seed in nations; and to lose them in countries.
28And they made sacrifice to Baal-peor; and they ate the sacrifices of dead beasts.
29And they wrathed God in their findings; and falling, either death, was multiplied in them.
30And Phinehas stood, and pleased God; and the vengeance ceased.
31And it was areckoned to him to rightfulness or rightwiseness; in gen-eration and into generation, till into without end.
32And they wrathed God at the waters of against-saying; and Moses was travailed for them, that is, troubled in soul,
33for they made bitter his spirit, and he parted or ordained in his lips.
34They lost not the heathen men; which the Lord said to them to do.
35And they were meddled or mingled among heathen men, and learned the works of them;
36and served the graven images of them; and it was made to them into cause of stumbling.
37And they offered their sons, and their daughters, to fiends.
38And they shedded out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters; which they sacrificed to the graven images of Canaan. And the earth was slain in bloods,
39and was defouled in the works of them; and they did fornication in their findings.
40And the Lord was wroth by strong vengeance against his people; and he had abomination of his heritage.
41And he betook them into the hands of heathen men; and they that hated them, were lords of them.
42And their enemies did tribulation to them, and they were meeked under the hands of enemies;
43oft he delivered them. But they wrathed him in their counsel; and they were made low in their wicked-nesses.
44And he saw, when they were set in tribulation; and he heard the prayer of them.
45And he was mindful of his testa-ment; and it repented him by the multitude of his mercy.
46And he gave them into mercies; in the sight of all men, that had taken them.
47Our Lord God, make thou us safe; and gather together us from nations. That we acknowledge to thine holy name; and have glory in thy praising.
48Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from the world and till into the world; and all the people shall say, Be it done, be it done.
