- 1. Prayse ye the Lord. Prayse ye the Lord because he is good, for his mercie endureth for euer.
- 2. Who can expresse the noble actes of the Lord, or shewe forth all his prayse?
- 3. Blessed are they that keepe iudgement, and doe righteousnesse at all times.
- 4. Remember me, O Lorde, with the fauour of thy people: visite me with thy saluation,
- 5. That I may see the felicitie of thy chosen, and reioyce in the ioy of thy people, and glorie with thine inheritance.
- 6. We haue sinned with our fathers: we haue committed iniquitie, and done wickedly.
- 7. Our fathers vnderstoode not thy wonders in Egypt, neither remembred they the multitude of thy mercies, but rebelled at the Sea, euen at the red sea.
- 8. Neuerthelesse he saued them for his Names sake, that he might make his power to be knowen.
- 9. And he rebuked the red Sea, and it was dryed vp, and he led them in the deepe, as in the wildernesse.
- 10. And he saued them from ye aduersaries hand, and deliuered them from ye hand of the enemie.
- 11. And the waters couered their oppressours: not one of them was left.
- 12. Then beleeued they his wordes, and sang prayse vnto him.
- 13. But incontinently they forgate his workes: they wayted not for his counsell,
- 14. But lusted with concupiscence in the wildernes, and tempted God in the desert.
- 15. Then he gaue them their desire: but he sent leannesse into their soule.
- 16. They enuied Moses also in the tentes, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
- 17. Therefore the earth opened & swallowed vp Dathan, & couered the companie of Abiram.
- 18. And the fire was kindled in their assembly: the flame burnt vp the wicked.
- 19. They made a calfe in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
- 20. Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a bullocke, that eateth grasse.
- 21. They forgate God their Sauiour, which had done great things in Egypt,
- 22. Wonderous woorkes in the lande of Ham, and fearefull things by the red Sea.
- 23. Therefore he minded to destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stand in the breach before him to turne away his wrath, least he shoulde destroy them.
- 24. Also they contemned that pleasant land, and beleeued not his worde,
- 25. But murmured in their tentes, and hearkened not vnto the voice of the Lorde.
- 26. Therefore hee lifted vp his hande against them, to destroy them in the wildernesse,
- 27. And to destroy their seede among the nations, & to scatter them throughout the countries.
- 28. They ioyned themselues also vnto Baalpeor, and did eate the offrings of the dead.
- 29. Thus they prouoked him vnto anger with their owne inuentions, and the plague brake in vpon them.
- 30. But Phinehas stoode vp, and executed iudgement, and the plague was staied.
- 31. And it was imputed vnto him for righteousnes from generation to generation for euer.
- 32. They angred him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was punished for their sakes,
- 33. Because they vexed his spirite, so that hee spake vnaduisedly with his lippes.
- 34. Neither destroied they the people, as the Lord had commaunded them,
- 35. But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their workes,
- 36. And serued their idoles, which were their ruine.
- 37. Yea, they offered their sonnes, and their daughters vnto deuils,
- 38. And shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes, & of their daughters, whome they offred vnto the idoles of Canaan, and the lande was defiled with blood.
- 39. Thus were they steined with their owne woorkes, and went a whoring with their owne inuentions.
- 40. Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, and he abhorred his owne inheritance.
- 41. And hee gaue them into the hande of the heathen: and they that hated them, were lordes ouer them.
- 42. Their enemies also oppressed them, & they were humbled vnder their hand.
- 43. Many a time did hee deliuer them, but they prouoked him by their counsels: therefore they were brought downe by their iniquitie.
- 44. Yet hee sawe when they were in affliction, and he heard their crie.
- 45. And he remembred his couenant towarde them and repented acoording to the multitude of his mercies,
- 46. And gaue them fauour in the sight of all them that lead them captiues.
- 47. Saue vs, O Lorde our God, and gather vs from among the heathen, that we may praise thine holy Name, and glorie in thy praise.
- 48. Blessed be the Lorde God of Israel for euer and euer, and let all the people say, So be it. Praise yee the Lord.
