1Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever. ✦ 2Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, 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, Yahweh, 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, Yahweh’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 glory for 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 Yahweh’s voice. ✦ 26Therefore he swore to them that 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 Yahweh 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 were they defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds. ✦ 40Therefore Yahweh 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 pitied by all those who carried them captive. ✦ 47Save us, Yahweh, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise! ✦ 48Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise Yah! ✦

Christ at the center
