1Praise ye the LORD. O give thanks unto the LORD; for [he is] good: for his mercy [endureth] for ever. 2Who can expresse the noble actes of the Lord, or shewe forth all his prayse? 3Blessed [are] they that keep judgment, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times. 4Remember me, O LORD, with the favour [that thou bearest unto] thy people: O visit me with thy salvation; 5That I may see the felicitie of thy chosen, and reioyce in the ioy of thy people, and glorie with thine inheritance. 6We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly. 7Our fathers vnderstoode not thy wonders in Egypt, neither remembred they the multitude of thy mercies, but rebelled at the Sea, euen at the red sea. 8Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known. 9And he rebuked the red Sea, and it was dryed vp, and he led them in the deepe, as in the wildernesse. 10And he saued them from ye aduersaries hand, and deliuered them from ye hand of the enemie. 11And the waters couered their oppressours: not one of them was left. 12Then believed they his words; they sang his praise. 13They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel: 14But lusted with concupiscence in the wildernes, and tempted God in the desert. 15And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul. 16They enuied Moses also in the tentes, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord. 17The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. 18And the fire was kindled in their assembly: the flame burnt vp the wicked. 19They made a calfe in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image. 20Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass. 21They forgate God their Sauiour, which had done great things in Egypt, 22Wonderous woorkes in the lande of Ham, and fearefull things by the red Sea. 23Therefore 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]. 24Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word: 25But murmured in their tentes, and hearkened not vnto the voice of the Lorde. 26Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness: 27And to destroy their seede among the nations, & to scatter them throughout the countries. 28They joined themselves also unto Baalpeor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 29Thus they provoked [him] to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them. 30Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and [so] the plague was stayed. 31And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore. 32They angered [him] also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: 33Because they vexed his spirite, so that hee spake vnaduisedly with his lippes. 34Neither destroied they the people, as the Lord had commaunded them, 35But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their workes, 36And serued their idoles, which were their ruine. 37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 38And shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes, & of their daughters, whome they offred vnto the idoles of Canaan, and the lande was defiled with blood. 39Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. 40Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he abhorred his owne inheritance. 41And hee gaue them into the hande of the heathen: and they that hated them, were lordes ouer them. 42Their enemies also oppressed them, & they were humbled vnder their hand. 43Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked [him] with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity. 44Yet hee sawe when they were in affliction, and he heard their crie. 45And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. 46And gaue them fauour in the sight of all them that lead them captiues. 47Save 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. 48Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel for euer and euer, and let all the people say, So be it. Praise yee the Lord.
