Psalms

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

2Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD,or fully declare all his praise?

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

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

5that 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.

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

7Our 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.

8Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake,that he might make his mighty power known.

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

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

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

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

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

14but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.

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

16They envied Moses also in the camp,and Aaron, the LORD’s saint.

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

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

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

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

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

22wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.

23Therefore 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.

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

25but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice.

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

27that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

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

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

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

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

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

33because they were rebellious against his spirit,he spoke rashly with his lips.

34They didn’t destroy the peoples,as the LORD commanded them,

35but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.

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

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

38They 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.

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

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

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

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

43He rescued them many times,but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.

44Nevertheless he regarded their distress,when he heard their cry.

45He remembered for them his covenant,and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

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

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

48Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel,from everlasting even to everlasting!Let all the people say, “Amen.”Praise the LORD!

1Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

2Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.

3From the rising and the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.

4They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.

5They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.

6And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

7And he led them into the right way: that they might go to a city of habitation.

8Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

9For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.

10Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.

11Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:

12And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and their was none to help them.

13Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

14And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.

15Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

16Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst the iron bars.

17He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.

18Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.

19And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

20He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.

21Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

22And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.

23They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:

24These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

25He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.

26They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.

27They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.

28And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.

29And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.

30And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.

31Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

32And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.

33He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of water into dry ground:

34A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

35He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, and a dry land into water springs.

36And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.

37And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.

38And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.

39Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.

40Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.

41And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.

42The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.

43Who is wise, and will keep these things: and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
