Capitole:


versetul 1

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


versetul 2

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


versetul 3

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


versetul 4

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


versetul 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.


versetul 6

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


versetul 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.


versetul 8

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


versetul 9

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


versetul 10

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


versetul 11

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


versetul 12

Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.


versetul 13

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


versetul 14

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


versetul 15

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


versetul 16

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


versetul 17

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


versetul 18

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


versetul 19

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


versetul 20

Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.


versetul 21

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


versetul 22

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


versetul 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.


versetul 24

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


versetul 25

but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to Yahweh’s voice.


versetul 26

Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,


versetul 27

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


versetul 28

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


versetul 29

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


versetul 30

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


versetul 31

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


versetul 32

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


versetul 33

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


versetul 34

They didn’t destroy the peoples, as Yahweh commanded them,


versetul 35

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


versetul 36

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


versetul 37

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


versetul 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.


versetul 39

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


versetul 40

Therefore Yahweh burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.


versetul 41

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


versetul 42

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


versetul 43

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


versetul 44

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


versetul 45

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


versetul 46

He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.


versetul 47

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


versetul 48

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