Remember Me, O Yahweh
Praise Yah!
Oh agive thanks to Yahweh, for He bis good;
For cHis lovingkindness endures forever.
2 Who can speak of the amighty deeds of Yahweh,
Or can make all His praise to be heard?
3 How blessed are those who keep justice,
And he who adoes righteousness at all times!
4 Remember me, O Yahweh, in Your afavor toward Your people;
Visit me with Your salvation,
5 That I may see the agoodness of Your chosen ones,
That I may brejoice in the gladness of Your nation,
That I may cboast with Your inheritance.
6 aWe have sinned bwith our fathers,
We have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly.
7 Our fathers in Egypt did not consider Your wondrous deeds;
They adid not remember Your abundant lovingkindnesses,
But they brebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.
8 Yet He saved them afor the sake of His name,
That He might bmake His might known.
9 Thus He arebuked the Red Sea and it bdried up,
And He cled them through the deeps, as through the wilderness.
10 So He asaved them from the hand of the one who hated them,
And bredeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 aThe waters covered their adversaries;
Not one of them was left.
12 Then they abelieved His words;
They bsang His praise.
13 They quickly aforgot His works;
They bdid not wait for His counsel,
14 But acraved intensely in the wilderness,
And bput God to the test in the wasteland.
15 So He agave them their request,
But bsent a wasting disease against their lives.
16 Then they became aenvious of Moses in the camp,
And of Aaron, the holy one of Yahweh,
17 The aearth opened and swallowed up Dathan,
And covered up the company of Abiram.
18 And a afire burned up in their company;
The flame consumed the wicked.
19 They amade a calf in Horeb
And worshiped a molten image.
20 Thus they aexchanged their glory
For the image of an ox that eats grass.
21 They aforgot God their Savior,
Who had done bgreat things in Egypt,
22 aWondrous deeds in the land of Ham
And awesome things by the Red Sea.
23 Therefore aHe said that He would destroy them,
Had not bMoses His chosen one stood in the breach before Him,
To turn away His wrath from eradicating them.
24 Then they adespised the bpleasant land;
They cdid not believe in His word,
25 But agrumbled in their tents;
They did not listen to the voice of Yahweh.
26 So He aswore to them
To make them fall in the wilderness,
27 And to amake their seed fall among the nations
And to bscatter them in the lands.
28 They then ajoined themselves to Baal‑peor,
And ate bsacrifices offered to the dead.
29 Thus they aprovoked Him to anger with their actions,
And the plague broke out among them.
30 Then Phinehas astood up and interceded,
And so the bplague was checked.
31 And it was acounted to him for righteousness,
From generation to generation forever.
32 They also aprovoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah,
So that it bwent badly with Moses on their account;
33 Because they awere rebellious against His Spirit,
He spoke rashly with his lips.
34 They adid not destroy the peoples,
As bYahweh commanded them,
35 But athey mingled with the nations
And learned their works,
36 And aserved their idols,
bWhich became a snare to them.
37 They asacrificed their sons and their daughters to the bdemons,
38 And they shed ainnocent blood,
The blood of their bsons and their daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And the land was cpolluted with the blood.
39 Thus they became aunclean in their works,
And bplayed the harlot in their actions.
40 So the aanger of Yahweh was kindled against His people
And He babhorred His cinheritance.
41 Then aHe gave them into the hand of the nations,
And those who hated them ruled over them.
42 Their enemies aoppressed them,
And they were subdued under their hand.
43 Many times He would adeliver them;
But they were rebellious in their bcounsel,
And so they csank down in their iniquity.
44 Nevertheless He looked upon their distress
When He aheard their cry of lamentation;
45 And He aremembered for them His covenant,
And brelented caccording to the abundance of His lovingkindness.
46 He also made them aobjects of compassion
In the presence of all their captors.
47 aSave us, O Yahweh our God,
And bgather us from among the nations,
To give thanks to Your holy name
And crevel in Your praise.
48 aBlessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel,
From everlasting to everlasting.
And let all the people say, “Amen.”
Praise Yah!
