⁷Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.

⁸And he saved them for his own name’s sake: that he might make his power known.

⁹And he rebuked the Red Sea and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.

¹⁰And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left.

¹²And they believed his words: and they sang his praises.

¹³They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsel.

¹⁴And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.

¹⁵And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls.

¹⁶And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.

¹⁸And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.

¹⁹They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.

²⁰And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.

²¹They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,

²²Wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.

²³And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

²⁴And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,

²⁵And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.

²⁶And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;

²⁷And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.

²⁸They also were initiated to Beelpheor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁹And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them.

³⁰Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased.

³¹And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore.

³²They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes:

³³Because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips.

³⁴They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.

³⁵And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:

³⁶And served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.

³⁷And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.

³⁸And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,

³⁹And was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions.

⁴⁰And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.

⁴¹And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.

⁴²And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:

⁴³Many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.

⁴⁴And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.

⁴⁵And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.

⁴⁶And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives.

⁴⁷Save us, O Lord, our God: and gather us from among the nations: That we may give thanks to thy holy name, and may glory in thy praise.

⁴⁸Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.

Psalm 106

Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

²Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: and gathered out of the countries.

³From the rising and from the setting of the sun, from the north and from the sea.

⁴They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: they found not the way of a city for their habitation.

⁵They were hungry and thirsty: their soul fainted in them.

⁶And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

⁷And he led them into the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.

⁸Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

⁹For he hath satisfied the empty soul, and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.

¹⁰Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: bound in want and in iron.

¹¹Because they had exasperated the words of God: and provoked the counsel of the most High:

¹²And their heart was humbled with labours: they were weakened, and there was none to help them.

¹³Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

¹⁴And he brought them out of darkness, and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.

¹⁵Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

¹⁶Because he hath broken gates of brass, and burst iron bars.

¹⁷He took them out of the way of their iniquity: for they were brought low for their injustices.

¹⁸Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.

¹⁹And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he delivered them out of their distresses.

²⁰He sent his word, and healed them: and delivered them from their destructions.

²¹Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: and his wonderful works to the children of men.

²²And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: and declare his works with joy.

²³They that go down to the sea in ships, doing business in the great waters:

²⁴These have seen the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.

²⁵He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: and the waves thereof were lifted up.

²⁶They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: their soul pined away with evils.

²⁷They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; and all their wisdom was swallowed up.

²⁸And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: and he brought them out of their distresses.

²⁹And he turned the storm into a breeze: and its waves were still.

³⁰And they rejoiced because they were still: and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.

³¹Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, and his wonderful works to the children of men.

³²And let them exalt him in the church of the people: and praise him in the chair of the ancients.

³³He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: and the sources of waters into dry ground:

³⁴A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.

³⁵He hath turned a wilderness into pools of waters, and a dry land into water springs.

³⁶And hath placed there the hungry; and they made a city for their habitation.

³⁷And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: and they yielded fruit of birth.

³⁸And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.

³⁹Then they were brought to be few: and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.

⁴⁰Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.

⁴¹And he helped the poor out of poverty: and made him families like a flock of sheep.

⁴²The just shall see, and shall rejoice, and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

⁴³Who is wise, and will keep these things; and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
