CHAP. CVI.

1 The Psalmist exhorteth to praise God. 4 He prayeth for pardon of sinne, as God did with the fathers. 7 The storie of the peoples rebellion, and Gods mercie. 47 Hee concludeth with prayer, and praise.

¹ Praise ye the Lord. O giue thankes vnto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercie endureth for euer.¹

² Who can vtter the mighty acts of the Lord? who can shew foorth all his praise?²

³ Blessed are they that keepe iudgement: and he that doeth righteousnesse at all times.

⁴ Remember me, O Lord, with the fauour that thou bearest vnto thy people: O visite me with thy saluation:

⁵ That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may reioyce in the gladnesse of thy nation: that I may glory with thine inheritance.

⁶ Wee haue sinned with our fathers: we haue committed iniquitie, we haue done wickedly.⁶

⁷ Our fathers vnderstood not thy wonders in Egypt, they remembred not the multitude of thy mercies: but prouoked him at the sea, euen at the Red-sea.⁷

⁸ Neuerthelesse hee saued them for his Names sake: that hee might make his mighty power to be knowen.

⁹ He rebuked the Red sea also, and it was dried vp: so hee led them through the depthes, as through the wildernes.

¹⁰ And he saued them from the hand of him that hated them: and redeemed them from the hand of the enemie.

¹¹ And the waters couered their enemies: there was not one of them left.¹¹

¹² Then beleeued they his words: they sang his praise.¹²

¹³ They soone forgate his works: they waited not for his counsell:¹³

¹⁴ But lusted exceedingly in the wildernes: & tempted God in the desert.¹⁴

¹⁵ And he gaue them their request: but sent leannesse into their soule.¹⁵

¹⁶ They enuied Moses also in the campe: and Aaron the Saint of the Lord.¹⁶

¹⁷ The earth opened and swallowed vp Dathan: and couered the company of Abiram.¹⁷

¹⁸ And a fire was kindled in their company: the flame burnt vp the wicked.¹⁸

¹⁹ They made a calfe in Horeb: and worshipped the molten image.¹⁹

²⁰ Thus they changed their glory, into the similitude of an oxe that eateth grasse.

²¹ They forgate God their Sauiour: which had done great things in Egypt:

²² Wonderous workes in the lande of Ham: and terrible things by the red Sea.

²³ Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: to turne away his wrath, lest hee should destroy them.²³

²⁴ Yea, they despised the pleasant land: they beleeued not his word:²⁴

²⁵ But murmured in their tents: and hearkened not vnto the voyce of the Lord.²⁵

²⁶ Therefore he lifted vp his hande against them: to ouerthrow them in the wildernesse:

²⁷ To ouerthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.²⁷

²⁸ They ioyned themselues also vnto Baal-Peor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.²⁸

²⁹ Thus they prouoked him to anger with their inuentions: and the plague brake in vpon them.

³⁰ Then stood vp Phinehas, and executed iudgement: and so the plague was stayed.³⁰

³¹ And that was counted vnto him for righteousnesse: vnto all generations for euermore.

³² They angred him also at the waters of strife: so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes:³²

³³ Because they prouoked his spirit: so that hee spake vnaduisedly with his lippes.

³⁴ They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the Lord commanded them:³⁴

³⁵ But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their workes.³⁵

³⁶ And they serued their idoles: which were a snare vnto them.

³⁷ Yea they sacrificed their sonnes, and their daughters vnto deuils,

³⁸ And shed innocent blood, euen the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whome they sacrificed vnto the idoles of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood.

³⁹ Thus were they defiled with their owne works: and went a whoring with their owne inuentions.

⁴⁰ Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people: insomuch that he abhorred his owne inheritance.

⁴¹ And he gaue them into the hand of the heathen: and they that hated them, ruled ouer them.

⁴² Their enemies also oppressed them: and they were brought into subiection vnder their hand.

⁴³ Many times did he deliuer them: but they prouoked him with their counsell, and were brought low for their iniquitie.⁴³

⁴⁴ Neuertheles he regarded their affliction: when he heard their crie.

⁴⁵ And hee remembred for them his couenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.⁴⁵

⁴⁶ He made them also to be pitied, of all those that caried them captiues.

⁴⁷ Saue vs, O Lord our God, and gather vs from among the heathen to giue thankes vnto thy holy Name: and to triumph in thy praise.

⁴⁸ Blessed bee the Lord God of Israel from euerlasting to euerlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the Lord.
