Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good

1
Hallelujah! (a) Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.
2
Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise?
3
Blessed are those who uphold justice, who practice righteousness at all times.
4
Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,
5
that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.
6
We have sinned like our fathers; we have done wrong and acted wickedly.
7
Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.(b)
8
Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.
9
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.
10
He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11
The waters covered their foes; not one of them remained.
12
Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.
13
Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.
14
They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.
15
So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.
16
In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
17
The earth opened up and swallowed Dathan; it covered the assembly of Abiram.
18
Then fire blazed through their company; flames consumed the wicked.
19
At Horeb (c) they made a calf and worshiped a molten image.
20
They exchanged their Glory (d) for the image of a grass-eating ox.
21
They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,
22
wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
23
So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.
24
They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.
25
They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.
26
So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,
27
to disperse (e) their offspring among the nations and scatter them throughout the lands.
28
They yoked themselves to Baal of Peor and ate sacrifices offered to lifeless gods.
29
So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.
30
But Phinehas stood and intervened, and the plague was restrained.
31
It was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
32
At the waters of Meribah (f) they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.
33
For they rebelled against His Spirit,(g) and Moses spoke rashly with his lips.
34
They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,
35
but they mingled with the nations and adopted their customs.
36
They worshiped their idols, which became a snare to them.
37
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38
They shed innocent blood— the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood.
39
They defiled themselves by their actions and prostituted themselves by their deeds.
40
So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.
41
He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.
42
Their enemies oppressed them, and subdued them under their hand.
43
Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.
44
Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.
45
And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.
46
He made them objects of compassion to all who held them captive.
47
Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.
48
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good

1
Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
2
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, 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, LORD, 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, the LORD’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 the LORD’s voice.
26
Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27
that he would overthrow their offspring 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 the LORD 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 they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
40
Therefore the LORD 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
He rescued them many times, 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, LORD, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
48
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise the LORD!
