0. [Prayse ye the Lorde.]
1. Confesse you [it] vnto god, for he is gratious: and his mercy endureth for euer.
2. Who can expresse the valiaunt actes of God: who can publishe abrode all his prayse?
3. Blessed are they that kepe iudgement: and do iustice at all times.
4. Remember me O God according to the fauour that thou bearest vnto thy people: O visite me with thy saluation.
5. That I may see the felicitie of thy chosen, that I may reioyce at the gladnes of thy people: [and] that I may glorie with thyne inheritaunce.
6. We haue sinned with our fathers: we haue done amisse and dealt wickedly.
7. Our fathers did not well consider thy wonders in Egypt, neither did they remember thy manifolde great goodnes: but they rebelled at the sea, euen at the red sea.
8. Neuerthelesse, he saued them for his names sake: that he myght make his power to be knowen.
9. And he rebuked the red sea, and it was dryed vp: so he led them through the deepe, as through a wyldernesse.
10. And he saued them from the hande of suche as hated them: & redeemed them from the hande of the enemie.
11. As for their aduersaries the waters ouerwhelmed them: there was not one of them left remayning.
12. Then beleued they his wordes: and song prayse vnto him.
13. But within a very short whyle they forgat his workes: they woulde not wayte for his counsell.
14. And they were taken with a great lust in the wyldernesse: and they tempted God in the desert.
15. And he gaue them their desire: and sent leannes withal into their soule.
16. They enuied also at Moyses in the tentes: [and] at Aaron the saint of God.
17. So the earth opened and swalowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram.
18. And the fire was kindled in their company: the flambe brent vp the vngodly.
19. They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the moulten image.
20. Thus they turned their glory: into the similitude of a calfe that eateth hay.
21. They forgat God their sauiour, who had done so great thynges in Egypt:
22. wonderous workes in ye land of Cham, [and] terrible thinges at the red sea.
23. Wherfore he appointed to destroy them, had not Moyses his chosen stand in the breache before hym: to turne away his wrathful indignation, lest he should destroy them.
24. Yea they thought scorne of the lande most to be desired: they gaue no credite vnto his worde.
25. But they murmured in their tentes: they would not hearken vnto the voyce of God.
26. Then lift he vp his hand against them, to geue them an ouerthrowe in the wildernesse:
27. to geue their seede an ouerthrowe amongst the nations, and to scatter them in sundry landes.
28. They ioyned them selues vnto Baal Peor: they also did eate of the sacrifices of the dead.
29. And they prouoked the [Lorde] vnto anger with their owne inuentions: and a plague fell mightily amongst them.
30. Then stoode vp Phinehes, he executed iustice: and so the plague ceassed.
31. And that was imputed vnto hym for righteousnesse: in generation and generation for euermore.
32. They also prouoked [God] at the waters of strife: and all was not well with Moyses for their sakes.
33. For they had caused an alteration to be of his spirite: so that he spake vnaduisedly with his lippes.
34. Moreouer, they destroyed not the Heathen: as God commaunded them.
35. But they were mingled amongst the Heathen: and learned their workes.
36. Insomuch that they dyd seruice vnto their idols: whiche were to the a snare.
37. Yea they sacrifised their sonnes: and their daughters vnto deuils.
38. And they shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sonnes and of their daughters: whom they sacrifised vnto the idols of Chanaan, and the lande was defiled with blood.
39. Thus were they stayned with their owne workes: and went a whoryng with their owne inuentions.
40. Therfore was the wrath of God kindeled against his people: insomuch that he abhorred his owne inheritaunce.
41. And he gaue them ouer into the hand of the Heathen: and they that dyd hate them, were lordes ouer them.
42. Their enemies oppressed them: and brought them into subiection vnder their hande.
43. Many a time dyd [God] deliuer them, but they rebelled [against hym] with their owne inuentions: and were brought downe for their wickednes.
44. Neuerthelesse, he did beholde them in their aduersitie: in geuing eare to their complaint.
45. And he remembred his couenaunt: and repented, according to the multitude of his mercies.
46. Yea he made all those that led them away captiue: to pitie them.
47. Saue vs O God our Lorde, and gather vs from among the Heathen: that we may geue thankes to thy holy name, and glory of thy prayse.
48. Blessed be God the Lord of Israel from world to world without end: and let all people say, so be it. Prayse ye the Lord.
