* Praise Jehovah ! Oh give thanks to Jehovah , for he is good and His loving-kindness endures forever . * Who can speak of the mighty acts of Jehovah ? Who can proclaim and perceive all his praise ? * How blessed are those who pay attention to justice , who practice righteousness at all times ! * Remember me , O Jehovah , with favor toward your people . Visit me with your salvation . * Help me see the prosperity of your chosen ones that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation , that I may glory with your inheritance . * We have sinned like our fathers ! We have committed iniquity and have behaved wickedly . * Our fathers in Egypt did not understand your wonders . They did not remember your abundant kindnesses . But they rebelled by the Red Sea . * Nevertheless he saved them for the sake of his name that he might make his power known . * So he rebuked the Red Sea and it dried up , and he led them through the deeps , as through the wilderness . * He saved them from the hand of the one who hated them and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy . * The waters covered their adversaries and not one of them was left . * Then they believed his words . They sang His praise . * They quickly forgot his works and they did not wait for his counsel . * They had an unreasonable desire for food in the wilderness . In the desert they tested God . * He gave them what they asked for . He also gave them a degenerative disease . * In the camp certain men became envious of Moses . They also became envious of Aaron , Jehovah ’s holy one . * The ground split open and swallowed Dathan . It buried Abiram 's followers . * A fire broke out among their followers . Flames burned up wicked people . * At Mount Horeb they made a statue of a calf . They worshiped an idol made of metal . * They traded their glorious God for the statue of a bull that eats grass . * They forgot the God of their salvation , the one who did spectacular things in Egypt , * miracles in the land of Ham , and terrifying things at the Red Sea . * God said he was going to destroy them , but Moses , his chosen one , stood in his way to prevent him from exterminating them . * They refused to enter the pleasant land . They did not believe what he said . * They complained in their tents . They did not obey Jehovah . * Raising his hand , he swore that he would kill them in the wilderness , * kill their descendants among the nations , and scatter them throughout various lands . * They joined in worshiping the god Baal while they were at Peor . They ate what was sacrificed to the dead . * They infuriated God by what they did , and a plague broke out among them . * Phinehas stood between God and the people , and the plague was stopped . * Because of this , Phinehas was considered righteous forever , throughout every generation . * They made God angry by the water at Meribah . Things turned out badly for Moses because of what they did . * They made him bitter so that he spoke recklessly . * They did not destroy the people as Jehovah had told them . * Instead , they intermarried with other nations . They learned to do what other nations did . * They worshiped their idols , which became a trap for them . * They sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons . * They shed innocent blood , the blood of their own sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan . The land became polluted with blood . * They became filthy because of what they did . They behaved like prostitutes . * Jehovah burned with anger against his own people . He was disgusted with those who belonged to him . * He handed them over to other nations , and those who hated them ruled them . * Their enemies oppressed them and made them subject to their power . * He rescued them many times , but they continued to plot rebellion against him and to sink deeper because of their sin . * He saw that they were suffering when he heard their cry for help . * He remembered his promise to them . In keeping with his rich mercy , he changed his plans . * He let them find compassion from all those who held them captive . * Rescue us , O Jehovah our God , and gather us from the nations so that we may give thanks to your holy name and make your praise our glory . * Thanks be to Jehovah the God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting . Let all the people say amen . Praise Jehovah !
