1 הַלְלוּיָהּ ׀ הֹודוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טֹוב כִּי לְעֹולָם חַסְדֹּו	1 Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, who is good, whose love endures forever.
2 מִי יְמַלֵּל גְּבוּרֹות יְהוָה יַשְׁמִיעַ כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֹו	2 Who can tell the mighty deeds of the LORD, proclaim in full God's praise?
3 אַשְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵי מִשְׁפָּט עֹשֵׂה צְדָקָה בְכָל־עֵת	3 Happy those who do what is right, whose deeds are always just.
4 זָכְרֵנִי יְהוָה בִּרְצֹון עַמֶּךָ פָּקְדֵנִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ	4 Remember me, LORD, as you favor your people; come to me with your saving help,
5 לִרְאֹות ׀ בְּטֹובַת בְּחִירֶיךָ לִשְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַת גֹּויֶךָ לְהִתְהַלֵּל עִם־נַחֲלָתֶךָ	5 That I may see the prosperity of your chosen, rejoice in the joy of your people, and glory with your heritage.
6 חָטָאנוּ עִם־אֲבֹותֵינוּ הֶעֱוִינוּ הִרְשָׁעְנוּ	6 We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong and are guilty.
7 אֲבֹותֵינוּ בְמִצְרַיִם ׀ לֹא־הִשְׂכִּילוּ נִפְלְאֹותֶיךָ לֹא זָכְרוּ אֶת־רֹב חֲסָדֶיךָ וַיַּמְרוּ עַל־יָם בְּיַם־סוּף	7 Our ancestors in Egypt did not attend to your wonders. They did not remember your great love; they defied the Most High at the Red Sea.
8 וַיֹּושִׁיעֵם לְמַעַן שְׁמֹו לְהֹודִיעַ אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֹו	8 Yet he saved them for his name's sake to make his power known.
9 וַיִּגְעַר בְּיַם־סוּף וַיֶּחֱרָב וַיֹּולִיכֵם בַּתְּהֹמֹות כַּמִּדְבָּר	9 He roared at the Red Sea and it dried up. He led them through the deep as through a desert.
10 וַיֹּושִׁיעֵם מִיַּד שֹׂונֵא וַיִּגְאָלֵם מִיַּד אֹויֵב	10 He rescued them from hostile hands, freed them from the power of the enemy.
11 וַיְכַסּוּ־מַיִם צָרֵיהֶם אֶחָד מֵהֶם לֹא נֹותָר	11 The waters covered their oppressors; not one of them survived.
12 וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בִדְבָרָיו יָשִׁירוּ תְּהִלָּתֹו	12 Then they believed his words and sang songs of praise.
13 מִהֲרוּ שָׁכְחוּ מַעֲשָׂיו לֹא־חִכּוּ לַעֲצָתֹו	13 But they soon forgot all he had done; they had no patience for his plan.
14 וַיִּתְאַוּוּ תַאֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵל בִּישִׁימֹון	14 In the desert they gave way to their cravings, tempted God in the wasteland.
15 וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָם וַיְשַׁלַּח רָזֹון בְּנַפְשָׁם	15 So he gave them what they asked and sent among them a wasting disease.
16 וַיְקַנְאוּ לְמֹשֶׁה בַּמַּחֲנֶה לְאַהֲרֹן קְדֹושׁ יְהוָה	16 In the camp they challenged Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
17 תִּפְתַּח־אֶרֶץ וַתִּבְלַע דָּתָן וַתְּכַס עַל־עֲדַת אֲבִירָם	17 The earth opened and swallowed Dathan, it closed on the followers of Abiram.
18 וַתִּבְעַר־אֵשׁ בַּעֲדָתָם לֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט רְשָׁעִים	18 Against that company the fire blazed; flames consumed the wicked.
19 יַעֲשׂוּ־עֵגֶל בְּחֹרֵב וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְמַסֵּכָה	19 At Horeb they fashioned a calf, worshiped a metal statue.
20 וַיָּמִירוּ אֶת־כְּבֹודָם בְּתַבְנִית ור אֹכֵל עֵשֶׂב	20 They exchanged their glorious God for the image of a grass-eating bull.
21 כְחוּ אֵל מֹושִׁיעָם עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלֹות בְּמִצְרָיִם	21 They forgot the God who saved them, who did great deeds in Egypt,
22 נִפְלָאֹות בְּאֶרֶץ חָם נֹורָאֹות עַל־יַם־סוּף	22 Amazing deeds in the land of Ham, fearsome deeds at the Red Sea.
23 וַיֹּאמֶר לְהַשְׁמִידָם לוּלֵי מֹשֶׁה בְחִירֹו עָמַד בַּפֶּרֶץ לְפָנָיו לְהָשִׁיב חֲמָתֹו מֵהַשְׁחִית	23 He would have decreed their destruction, had not Moses, the chosen leader, Withstood him in the breach to turn back his destroying anger.
24 וַיִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶרֶץ חֶמְדָּה לֹא־הֶאֱמִינוּ לִדְבָרֹו	24 Next they despised the beautiful land; they did not believe the promise.

26 וַיִּשָּׂא יָדֹו לָהֶם לְהַפִּיל אֹותָם בַּמִּדְבָּר	26 So with raised hand he swore to destroy them in the desert,
27 וּלְהַפִּיל זַרְעָם בַּגֹּויִם וּלְזָרֹותָם בָּאֲרָצֹות	27 To scatter their descendants among the nations, disperse them in foreign lands.
28 וַיִּצָּמְדוּ לְבַעַל פְּעֹור וַיֹּאכְלוּ זִבְחֵי מֵתִים	28 They joined in the rites of Baal of Peor, ate food sacrificed to dead gods.
29 וַיַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַעַלְלֵיהֶם וַתִּפְרָץ־בָּם מַגֵּפָה	29 They provoked him by their actions, and a plague broke out among them.
30 וַיַּעֲמֹד פִּינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּל וַתֵּעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָה	30 Then Phinehas rose to intervene, and the plague was brought to a halt.
31 וַתֵּחָשֶׁב לֹו לִצְדָקָה לְדֹר וָדֹר עַד־עֹולָם	31 This was counted for him as a righteous deed for all generations to come.

38 וַיִּשְׁפְּכוּ דָם נָקִי דַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם וּבְנֹותֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר זִבְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּי כְנָעַן וַתֶּחֱנַף הָאָרֶץ בַּדָּמִים	38 Shedding innocent blood, the blood of their own sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, desecrating the land with bloodshed.

40 וַיִּחַר־אַף יְהוָה בְּעַמֹּו וַיְתָעֵב אֶת־נַחֲלָתֹו	40 So the LORD grew angry with his people, abhorred his own heritage.
41 וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד־גֹּויִם וַיִּמְשְׁלוּ בָהֶם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶם	41 He handed them over to the nations, and their adversaries ruled them.
