And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:

So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.

Let the Lord be praised. O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Who is able to give an account of the great acts of the Lord, or to make clear all his praise?

But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.

By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.

Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.

But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.

And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.

They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;

And all the generations coming after him kept the memory of his righteousness for ever.

For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things.

Then the wrath of the Lord was burning against his people, and he was angry with his heritage.

Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.

But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.

O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!
