Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good

1
Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is with every generation.
2
Who will declare the powers of the Lord? Who make a hearing for all his praises?
3
Blessed are those who keep judgment and who do justice at all times.
4
Remember us, O Lord, with good will for your people. Visit us with your salvation,
5
so that we may see the goodness of your elect, so that we may rejoice in the joy of your nation, so that you may be praised along with your inheritance.
6
We have sinned, as have our fathers. We have acted unjustly; we have wrought iniquity.
7
Our fathers did not understand your miracles in Egypt. They did not remember the multitude of your mercies. And they provoked you, while going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.
8
And he saved them for the sake of his name, so that he might make known his power.
9
And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up. And he led them into the abyss, as if into a desert.
10
And he saved them from the hand of those who hated them. And he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11
And the water covered those who troubled them. Not one of them remained.
12
And they believed his words, and they sang his praises.
13
As soon as they had finished, they forgot his works, and they would not endure his counsel.
14
And they coveted their desire in the desert, and they tempted God in a waterless place.
15
And he granted to them their request, and he sent abundance into their souls.
16
And they provoked Moses in the camp, and Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.
17
The earth opened and swallowed Dathan, and it covered the congregation of Abiram.
18
And a fire broke out in their congregation. A flame burned up the sinners.
19
And they fashioned a calf at Horeb, and they adored a graven image.
20
And they exchanged their glory for the likeness of a calf that eats hay.
21
They forgot God, who saved them, who did great things in Egypt:
22
miracles in the land of Ham, terrible things at the Red Sea.
23
And he said that he would destroy them, yet Moses, his elect, stood firm before him in the breach, in order to avert his wrath, lest he destroy them.
24
And they held the desirable land to be nothing. They did not trust in his word.
25
And they murmured in their tabernacles. They did not heed the voice of the Lord.
26
And he lifted up his hand over them, in order to prostrate them in the desert,
27
and in order to cast their offspring among the nations, and to scatter them among the regions.
28
And they were initiated into Baal of Peor, and they ate the sacrifices of the dead.(a) (b)
29
And they provoked him with their inventions, and ruination was multiplied in them.
30
Then Phinehas stood up and placated him: and so the violent disturbance ceased.
31
And it was reputed to him unto justice, from generation to generation, even forever.
32
And they provoked him at the Waters of Contradiction, and Moses was afflicted because of them,
33
for they exasperated his spirit. And so he divided them with his lips.(c)
34
They did not destroy the nations, about which the Lord had spoken to them.
35
And they were mixed among the Gentiles. And they learned their works,
36
and they served their graven images, and it became a scandal to them.
37
And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38
And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters, which they sacrificed to the graven images of Canaan. And the land was infected with bloodshed,
39
and was contaminated with their works. And they fornicated according to their own inventions.
40
And the Lord became furiously angry with his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.
41
And he delivered them into the hands of the nations. And those who hated them became rulers over them.
42
And their enemies afflicted them, and they were humbled under their hands.
43
Many times, he delivered them. Yet they provoked him with their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.
44
And he saw that they were in tribulation, and he heard their prayer.
45
And he was mindful of his covenant, and he repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
46
And he provided for them with mercies, in the sight of all those who had seized them.
47
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from the nations, so that we may confess your holy name and glory in your praise.
48
Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, from ages past, even to all ages. And let all the people say: Amen. Amen.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good

1
Praise the LORD! Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
2
Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD, or fully declare all his praise?
3
Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.
4
Remember me, LORD, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,
5
that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.
6
We have sinned with our fathers. We have committed iniquity. We have done wickedly.
7
Our fathers didn’t understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn’t remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.
9
He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.
10
He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11
The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.
12
Then they believed his words. They sang his praise.
13
They soon forgot his works. They didn’t wait for his counsel,
14
but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.
15
He gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.
16
They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, the LORD’s saint.
17
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.
18
A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.
19
They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.
20
Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.
21
They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,
22
wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome things by the Red Sea.
23
Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn’t destroy them.
24
Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn’t believe his word,
25
but murmured in their tents, and didn’t listen to the LORD’s voice.
26
Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,
27
that he would overthrow their offspring among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.
28
They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29
Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.
30
Then Phinehas stood up and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.
31
That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.
32
They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;
33
because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
34
They didn’t destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them,
35
but mixed themselves with the nations, and learned their works.
36
They served their idols, which became a snare to them.
37
Yes, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons.
38
They shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan. The land was polluted with blood.
39
Thus they were defiled with their works, and prostituted themselves in their deeds.
40
Therefore the LORD burned with anger against his people. He abhorred his inheritance.
41
He gave them into the hand of the nations. Those who hated them ruled over them.
42
Their enemies also oppressed them. They were brought into subjection under their hand.
43
He rescued them many times, but they were rebellious in their counsel, and were brought low in their iniquity.
44
Nevertheless he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry.
45
He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
46
He made them also to be pitied by all those who carried them captive.
47
Save us, LORD, our God, gather us from among the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise!
48
Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting even to everlasting! Let all the people say, “Amen.” Praise the LORD!
