⁶We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.
⁷Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.
⁸Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
⁹He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried up: so he led them through the depths, as through the wilderness.
¹⁰And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
¹¹And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.
¹²Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.
¹³They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:
¹⁴But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.
¹⁵And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.
¹⁶They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the Lord.
¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
¹⁸And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.
¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
²⁰Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
²¹They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;
²²Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.
²³Therefore 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.
²⁴Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:
²⁵But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the Lord.
²⁶Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:
²⁷To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.
²⁸They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
²⁹Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.
³⁰Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment: and so the plague was stayed.
³¹And that was counted unto him for righteousness unto all generations for evermore.
³²They angered him also at the waters of strife, so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:
³³Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips.
³⁴They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them:
³⁵But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.
³⁶And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them.
³⁷Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils,
³⁸And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.
³⁹Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
⁴⁰Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.
⁴¹And he gave them into the hand of the heathen; and they that hated them ruled over them.
⁴²Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.
⁴³Many times did he deliver them; but they provoked him with their counsel, and were brought low for their iniquity.
⁴⁴Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:
⁴⁵And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
⁴⁶He made them also to be pitied of all those that carried them captives.
⁴⁷Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.
⁴⁸Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.
¹O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
²Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy;
³And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south.
⁴They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.
⁵Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
⁶Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
⁷And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
⁸Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
⁹For he satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness.
¹⁰Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;
¹¹Because they rebelled against the words of God, and contemned the counsel of the most High:
¹²Therefore he brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help.
¹³Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
¹⁴He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.
¹⁵Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
¹⁶For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.
¹⁷Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
¹⁸Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
¹⁹Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
²⁰He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
²¹Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
²²And let them sacrifice the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works with rejoicing.
²³They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;
²⁴These see the works of the Lord, and his wonders in the deep.
²⁵For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.
²⁶They mount up to the heaven, they go down again to the depths: their soul is melted because of trouble.
²⁷They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.
²⁸Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.
²⁹He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.
³⁰Then are they glad because they be quiet; so he bringeth them unto their desired haven.
³¹Oh that men would praise the Lord for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!
³²Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
³³He turneth rivers into a wilderness, and the watersprings into dry ground;
³⁴A fruitful land into barrenness, for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
³⁵He turneth the wilderness into a standing water, and dry ground into watersprings.
³⁶And there he maketh the hungry to dwell, that they may prepare a city for habitation;
³⁷And sow the fields, and plant vineyards, which may yield fruits of increase.
³⁸He blesseth them also, so that they are multiplied greatly; and suffereth not their cattle to decrease.
³⁹Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.
⁴⁰He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.
⁴¹Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.
⁴²The righteous shall see it, and rejoice: and all iniquity shall stop her mouth.

⁶The Lord preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me.
⁷Return unto thy rest, O my soul; for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee.
⁸For thou hast delivered my soul from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
