106 Hallelujah!

Give thanks to the Eternal! – he is good,

his kindness never fails.

2 Who can proclaim the Eternal’s mighty deeds,

or do full justice to his praise?

3 Happy are they who hold to what is right,

who do their duty at all times!

5 They share the welfare of thy chosen band,

thy nation’s joy, the triumph of thy land.

4 Remember us in thy goodwill, Eternal,

oh save and prosper thine own people.

6 For, like our fathers, we have sinned,

we have done evil, have done wickedly.

7 At the Reed Sea our fathers defied the Most High,

heedless of his wonders done in Egypt,

forgetting all the kindness he had shown them.

8 Yet he saved them for his own sake,

to display his power;

9 the Reed Sea dried up at his bidding,

through the deep he led them like a desert,

10 saving them from hostile hands,

rescuing them from the foe;

11 the waters rose over their enemies,

till not a man was left.

12 Then they believed his promise,

and they sang his praise.

13 But soon they forgot what he had done,

they would not be patient with his purposes;

14 they had a craving in the wilderness,

that made them doubt God in the desert;

15 he let them have what they desired.

then – made them loathe it!

16 When they were jealous of Moses in the camp,

and of Aaron, whom the Eternal consecrated,

18 fire broke out in their company,

and flames burned up the wicked;

17 earth opened and swallowed Dathan up,

and closed over Abiram’s crew.

19 At Horeb they made a calf,

and worshipped a metal image,

20 bartering God their glory

for the image of an ox that munches grass!

21 They forgot God their deliverer,

who had done great deeds in Egypt,

22 marvels in the land of Khem,

deeds of awe at the Reed Sea.

23 So he threatened to destroy them,

had not Moses stepped into the breach,

had not Moses, whom he had chosen, faced him,

to avert his deadly wrath.

24 And then they scorned the land of delight;

they would not believe what he promised,

25 but grumbled in their tents

and would not listen to his word;

26 so he swore solemnly

to lay them low in the desert,

27 to scatter their children among heathen men,

and disperse them over the world.

28 When they joined the Baal of Pĕor,

and ate food offered to the dead,

29 they angered him with their misdeeds,

and plague broke out among them.

30 But Phinehas rose to interpose,

and so the plague was checked–

31 which was counted in his favour,

as a merit for all time.

32a At the waters of Merîbah they enraged God,

33a rebelling against his Spirit,

32b till they made Moses go wrong

33b and utter words in haste.

34 Nor did they root out the pagans,

as the Eternal ordered;

35 they mixed with heathen men

and learned their ways,

36 and worshipping their idols

were ensnared;

37 they sacrificed to demons,

sacrificed their sons and daughters,

38 pouring out innocent blood,

till the land was stained with murder.

39 They were befouled by what they did,

and broke faith by their practices.

40 So the Eternal’s anger blazed against his people,

he loathed his heritage;

41 he abandoned them to pagans,

to be ruled by those who hated them;

42 their foes oppressed them,

forced them to submission.

43 Many a time he rescued them;

but they would take their own rebellious way,

till evil-doing wasted them away.

44 Yet he regarded their distress,

when he heard them wailing;

45 he remembered for their sake his compact,

in his great goodness he relented;

46 he made their very captors

have compassion upon them.

47 O thou Eternal, our God, save us,

gather us out of the nations,

that we may give thanks to thy sacred name,

and triumph in thy deeds of praise.

48 [[Blessed be the Eternal, Israel’s God, from age to age, for ever!

Let all the people add “Amen.”]]
