1 Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness `endureth' forever.

1 הַֽלְלוּיָ֨הּ׀ הֹוד֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה כִּי־טֹ֑וב כִּ֖י לְעֹולָ֣ם חַסְדֹּֽו׃

2 Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?

2 מִ֗י יְ֭מַלֵּל גְּבוּרֹ֣ות יְהוָ֑ה יַ֝שְׁמִ֗יעַ כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃

3 Blessed are they that keep justice, And he that doeth righteousness at all times.

3 אַ֭שְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵ֣י מִשְׁפָּ֑ט עֹשֵׂ֖ה צְדָקָ֣ה בְכָל־עֵֽת׃

4 Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,

4 זָכְרֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה בִּרְצֹ֣ון עַמֶּ֑ךָ פָּ֝קְדֵ֗נִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃

5 That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance.

5 לִרְאֹ֤ות׀ בְּטֹ֘ובַ֤ת בְּחִירֶ֗יךָ לִ֭שְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַ֣ת גֹּויֶ֑ךָ לְ֝הִתְהַלֵּ֗ל עִם־נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ׃

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

6 חָטָ֥אנוּ עִם־אֲבֹותֵ֗ינוּ הֶעֱוִ֥ינוּ הִרְשָֽׁעְנוּ׃

7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

7 אֲבֹ֘ותֵ֤ינוּ בְמִצְרַ֨יִם׀ לֹא־הִשְׂכִּ֬ילוּ נִפְלְאֹותֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א זָ֭כְרוּ אֶת־רֹ֣ב חֲסָדֶ֑יךָ וַיַּמְר֖וּ עַל־יָ֣ם בְּיַם־סֽוּף׃

8 Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.

8 וַֽ֭יֹּושִׁיעֵם לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמֹ֑ו לְ֝הֹודִ֗יעַ אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֹֽו׃

9 He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

9 וַיִּגְעַ֣ר בְּיַם־ס֭וּף וַֽיֶּחֱרָ֑ב וַיֹּולִיכֵ֥ם בַּ֝תְּהֹמֹ֗ות כַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

10 וַֽ֭יֹּושִׁיעֵם מִיַּ֣ד שֹׂונֵ֑א וַ֝יִּגְאָלֵ֗ם מִיַּ֥ד אֹויֵֽב׃

11 And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.

11 וַיְכַסּוּ־מַ֥יִם צָרֵיהֶ֑ם אֶחָ֥ד מֵ֝הֶ֗ם לֹ֣א נֹותָֽר׃

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

12 וַיַּאֲמִ֥ינוּ בִדְבָרָ֑יו יָ֝שִׁ֗ירוּ תְּהִלָּתֹֽו׃

13 They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,

13 מִֽ֭הֲרוּ שָׁכְח֣וּ מַעֲשָׂ֑יו לֹֽא־חִ֝כּ֗וּ לַעֲצָתֹֽו׃

14 But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

14 וַיִּתְאַוּ֣וּ תַ֭אֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵ֝֗ל בִּֽישִׁימֹֽון׃

15 And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

15 וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָ֑ם וַיְשַׁלַּ֖ח רָזֹ֣ון בְּנַפְשָֽׁם׃

16 They envied Moses also in the camp, `And' Aaron the saint of Jehovah.

16 וַיְקַנְא֣וּ לְ֭מֹשֶׁה בַּֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה לְ֝אַהֲרֹ֗ן קְדֹ֣ושׁ יְהוָֽה׃

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

17 תִּפְתַּח־אֶ֭רֶץ וַתִּבְלַ֣ע דָּתָ֑ן וַ֝תְּכַ֗ס עַל־עֲדַ֥ת אֲבִירָֽם׃

18 And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

18 וַתִּבְעַר־אֵ֥שׁ בַּעֲדָתָ֑ם לֶ֝הָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט רְשָׁעִֽים׃

19 They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

19 יַעֲשׂוּ־עֵ֥גֶל בְּחֹרֵ֑ב וַ֝יִּשְׁתַּחֲו֗וּ לְמַסֵּכָֽה׃

20 Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

20 וַיָּמִ֥ירוּ אֶת־כְּבֹודָ֑ם בְּתַבְנִ֥ית ור אֹכֵ֥ל עֵֽשֶׂב׃

21 They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,

21 כְחוּ אֵ֣ל מֹושִׁיעָ֑ם עֹשֶׂ֖ה גְדֹלֹ֣ות בְּמִצְרָֽיִם׃

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, `And' terrible things by the Red Sea.

22 נִ֭פְלָאֹות בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָ֑ם נֹ֝ורָאֹ֗ות עַל־יַם־סֽוּף׃

23 Therefore 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'.

23 וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לְֽהַשְׁמִ֫ידָ֥ם לוּלֵ֡י מֹ֘שֶׁ֤ה בְחִירֹ֗ו עָמַ֣ד בַּפֶּ֣רֶץ לְפָנָ֑יו לְהָשִׁ֥יב חֲ֝מָתֹ֗ו מֵֽהַשְׁחִֽית׃

24 Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,

24 וַֽ֭יִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חֶמְדָּ֑ה לֹֽא־הֶ֝אֱמִ֗ינוּ לִדְבָרֹֽו׃

25 But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

25 וַיֵּרָגְנ֥וּ בְאָהֳלֵיהֶ֑ם לֹ֥א מְע֗וּ בְּקֹ֣ול יְהוָֽה׃

26 Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

26 וַיִּשָּׂ֣א יָדֹ֣ו לָהֶ֑ם לְהַפִּ֥יל אֹ֝ותָ֗ם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

27 And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

27 וּלְהַפִּ֣יל זַ֭רְעָם בַּגֹּויִ֑ם וּ֝לְזָרֹותָ֗ם בָּאֲרָצֹֽות׃

28 They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

28 וַ֭יִּצָּ֣מְדוּ לְבַ֣עַל פְּעֹ֑ור וַ֝יֹּאכְל֗וּ זִבְחֵ֥י מֵתִֽים׃

29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.

29 וַ֭יַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶ֑ם וַתִּפְרָץ־בָּ֝֗ם מַגֵּפָֽה׃

30 Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.

30 וַיַּעֲמֹ֣ד פִּֽ֭ינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּ֑ל וַ֝תֵּעָצַ֗ר הַמַּגֵּפָֽה׃

31 And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for evermore.

31 וַתֵּחָ֣שֶׁב לֹ֭ו לִצְדָקָ֑ה לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר עַד־עֹולָֽם׃

32 They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;

32 וַ֭יַּקְצִיפוּ עַל־מֵ֥י מְרִיבָ֑ה וַיֵּ֥רַע לְ֝מֹשֶׁ֗ה בַּעֲבוּרָֽם׃

33 Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

33 כִּֽי־הִמְר֥וּ אֶת־רוּחֹ֑ו וַ֝יְבַטֵּ֗א בִּשְׂפָתָֽיו׃

34 They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,

34 לֹֽא־הִ֭שְׁמִידוּ אֶת־הָֽעַמִּ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה לָהֶֽם׃

35 But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,

35 וַיִּתְעָרְב֥וּ בַגֹּויִ֑ם וַֽ֝יִּלְמְד֗וּ מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃

36 And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.

36 וַיַּעַבְד֥וּ אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶ֑ם וַיִּהְי֖וּ לָהֶ֣ם לְמֹוקֵֽשׁ׃

37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

37 וַיִּזְבְּח֣וּ אֶת־בְּ֭נֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֹֽותֵיהֶ֗ם לַשֵּֽׁדִים׃

38 And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

38 וַיִּֽשְׁפְּכ֨וּ דָ֪ם נָקִ֡י דַּם־בְּנֵ֘יהֶ֤ם וּֽבְנֹותֵיהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר זִ֭בְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּ֣י כְנָ֑עַן וַתֶּחֱנַ֥ף הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ בַּדָּמִֽים׃

39 Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.

39 וַיִּטְמְא֥וּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּזְ֗נוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃

40 Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.

40 וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֣ף יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמֹּ֑ו וַ֝יְתָעֵ֗ב אֶת־נַחֲלָתֹֽו׃

41 And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.

41 וַיִּתְּנֵ֥ם בְּיַד־גֹּויִ֑ם וַֽיִּמְשְׁל֥וּ בָ֝הֶ֗ם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶֽם׃

42 Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

42 וַיִּלְחָצ֥וּם אֹויְבֵיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּכָּנְע֗וּ תַּ֣חַת יָדָֽם׃

43 Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.

43 פְּעָמִ֥ים רַבֹּ֗ות יַצִּ֫ילֵ֥ם וְ֭הֵמָּה יַמְר֣וּ בַעֲצָתָ֑ם וַ֝יָּמֹ֗כּוּ בַּעֲוֹנָֽם׃

44 Nevertheless he regarded their distress, When he heard their cry:

44 וַ֭יַּרְא בַּצַּ֣ר לָהֶ֑ם בְּ֝שָׁמְעֹ֗ו אֶת־רִנָּתָֽם׃

45 And he remembered for them his covenant, And repented according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

45 וַיִּזְכֹּ֣ר לָהֶ֣ם בְּרִיתֹ֑ו וַ֝יִּנָּחֵ֗ם כְּרֹ֣ב חַסְדֹּו חֲסָדָֽיו׃

46 He made them also to be pitied Of all those that carried them captive.

46 וַיִּתֵּ֣ן אֹותָ֣ם לְרַחֲמִ֑ים לִ֝פְנֵ֛י כָּל־שֹׁובֵיהֶֽם׃

47 Save us, O Jehovah our God, And gather us from among the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.

47 הֹושִׁיעֵ֨נוּ׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ֮ מִֽן־הַגֹּ֫ויִ֥ם לְ֭הֹדֹות לְשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֶׁ֑ךָ לְ֝הִשְׁתַּבֵּ֗חַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶֽךָ׃

48 Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye Jehovah.

48 בָּר֤וּךְ־יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֵ֪י יִשְׂרָאֵ֡ל מִן־הָ֤עֹולָ֨ם׀ וְעַ֬ד הָעֹולָ֗ם וְאָמַ֖ר כָּל־הָעָ֥ם אָמֵ֗ן הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
