STUTTGARTENSIA-DELITZSCH	NEW JERUSALEM
1 הַלְלוּיָהּ ׀ הֹודוּ לַיהוָה כִּי־טֹוב כִּי לְעֹולָם חַסְדֹּו	1 Al eluia! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, his faithful love is everlasting!
2 מִי יְמַלֵּל גְּבוּרֹות יְהוָה יַשְׁמִיעַ כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֹו	2 Who can recount al Yahweh's triumphs, who can ful y voice his praise?
3 אַשְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵי מִשְׁפָּט עֹשֵׂה צְדָקָה בְכָל־עֵת	3 How blessed are those who keep to what is just, whose conduct is always upright!
4 זָכְרֵנִי יְהוָה בִּרְצֹון עַמֶּךָ פָּקְדֵנִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶךָ	4 Remember me, Yahweh, in your love for your people. Come near to me with your saving power,
5 לִרְאֹות ׀ בְּטֹובַת בְּחִירֶיךָ לִשְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַת גֹּויֶךָ לְהִתְהַלֵּל עִם־נַחֲלָתֶךָ	5 let me share the happiness of your chosen ones, let me share the joy of your people, the pride ofyour heritage.
6 חָטָאנוּ עִם־אֲבֹותֵינוּ הֶעֱוִינוּ הִרְשָׁעְנוּ	6 Like our ancestors, we have sinned, we have acted wickedly, guiltily;
7 אֲבֹותֵינוּ בְמִצְרַיִם ׀ לֹא־הִשְׂכִּילוּ נִפְלְאֹותֶיךָ לֹא זָכְרוּ אֶת־רֹב חֲסָדֶיךָ וַיַּמְרוּ עַל־יָם בְּיַם־סוּף	7 our ancestors in Egypt never grasped the meaning of your wonders. They did not bear in mind yourcountless acts of love, at the Sea of Reeds they defied the Most High;
8 וַיֹּושִׁיעֵם לְמַעַן שְׁמֹו לְהֹודִיעַ אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֹו	8 but for the sake of his name he saved them, to make known his mighty power.
9 וַיִּגְעַר בְּיַם־סוּף וַיֶּחֱרָב וַיֹּולִיכֵם בַּתְּהֹמֹות כַּמִּדְבָּר	9 At his rebuke the Sea of Reeds dried up, he let them pass through the deep as though it were desert,
10 וַיֹּושִׁיעֵם מִיַּד שֹׂונֵא וַיִּגְאָלֵם מִיַּד אֹויֵב	10 so he saved them from their opponents' clutches, rescued them from the clutches of their enemies.
11 וַיְכַסּוּ־מַיִם צָרֵיהֶם אֶחָד מֵהֶם לֹא נֹותָר	11 The waters enveloped their enemies, not one of whom was left.
12 וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בִדְבָרָיו יָשִׁירוּ תְּהִלָּתֹו	12 Then they believed what he had said, and sang his praises.
13 מִהֲרוּ שָׁכְחוּ מַעֲשָׂיו לֹא־חִכּוּ לַעֲצָתֹו	13 But they soon forgot his achievements, they did not even wait for his plans;
14 וַיִּתְאַוּוּ תַאֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּר וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵל בִּישִׁימֹון	14 they were overwhelmed with greed in the wastelands, in the solitary wastes they challenged God.
15 וַיִּתֵּן לָהֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָם וַיְשַׁלַּח רָזֹון בְּנַפְשָׁם	15 He gave them al they asked for, but struck them with a deep wasting sickness;
16 וַיְקַנְאוּ לְמֹשֶׁה בַּמַּחֲנֶה לְאַהֲרֹן קְדֹושׁ יְהוָה	16 in the camp they grew jealous of Moses, and of Aaron, Yahweh's holy one.
17 תִּפְתַּח־אֶרֶץ וַתִּבְלַע דָּתָן וַתְּכַס עַל־עֲדַת אֲבִירָם	17 The earth opened and swal owed up Dathan, closed in on Abiram's faction;
18 וַתִּבְעַר־אֵשׁ בַּעֲדָתָם לֶהָבָה תְּלַהֵט רְשָׁעִים	18 fire flamed out against their faction, the renegades were engulfed in flames.
19 יַעֲשׂוּ־עֵגֶל בְּחֹרֵב וַיִּשְׁתַּחֲווּ לְמַסֵּכָה	19 At Horeb they made a calf, bowed low before cast metal;
20 וַיָּמִירוּ אֶת־כְּבֹודָם בְּתַבְנִית ור אֹכֵל עֵשֶׂב	20 they exchanged their glory for the image of a grass-eating bull.
21 כְחוּ אֵל מֹושִׁיעָם עֹשֶׂה גְדֹלֹות בְּמִצְרָיִם	21 They forgot the God who was saving them, who had done great deeds in Egypt,
22 נִפְלָאֹות בְּאֶרֶץ חָם נֹורָאֹות עַל־יַם־סוּף	22 such wonders in the land of Ham, such awesome deeds at the Sea of Reeds.
23 וַיֹּאמֶר לְהַשְׁמִידָם לוּלֵי מֹשֶׁה בְחִירֹו עָמַד בַּפֶּרֶץ לְפָנָיו לְהָשִׁיב חֲמָתֹו מֵהַשְׁחִית	23 He thought of putting an end to them, had not Moses, his chosen one, taken a stand in the breachand confronted him, to turn his anger away from destroying them.
24 וַיִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶרֶץ חֶמְדָּה לֹא־הֶאֱמִינוּ לִדְבָרֹו	24 They counted a desirable land for nothing, they put no trust in his promise;
25 וַיֵּרָגְנוּ בְאָהֳלֵיהֶם לֹא מְעוּ בְּקֹול יְהוָה	25 they stayed in their tents and grumbled, they would not listen to Yahweh's voice.
26 וַיִּשָּׂא יָדֹו לָהֶם לְהַפִּיל אֹותָם בַּמִּדְבָּר	26 So he lifted his hand against them, to strike them down in the desert,
27 וּלְהַפִּיל זַרְעָם בַּגֹּויִם וּלְזָרֹותָם בָּאֲרָצֹות	27 to strike down their descendants among the nations, to scatter them al over the world.
28 וַיִּצָּמְדוּ לְבַעַל פְּעֹור וַיֹּאכְלוּ זִבְחֵי מֵתִים	28 They committed themselves to serve Baal-Peor, and ate sacrifices made to lifeless gods.
29 וַיַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַעַלְלֵיהֶם וַתִּפְרָץ־בָּם מַגֵּפָה	29 They so provoked him by their actions that a plague broke out among them.
30 וַיַּעֲמֹד פִּינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּל וַתֵּעָצַר הַמַּגֵּפָה	30 Then up stood Phinehas to intervene, and the plague was checked;
31 וַתֵּחָשֶׁב לֹו לִצְדָקָה לְדֹר וָדֹר עַד־עֹולָם	31 for this he is the example of uprightness, from age to age for ever.
32 וַיַּקְצִיפוּ עַל־מֵי מְרִיבָה וַיֵּרַע לְמֹשֶׁה בַּעֲבוּרָם	32 At the waters of Meribah they so angered Yahweh, that Moses suffered on their account,
33 כִּי־הִמְרוּ אֶת־רוּחֹו וַיְבַטֵּא בִּשְׂפָתָיו	33 for they had embittered his spirit, and he spoke without due thought.
34 לֹא־הִשְׁמִידוּ אֶת־הָעַמִּים אֲשֶׁר אָמַר יְהוָה לָהֶם	34 They did not destroy the nations, as Yahweh had told them to do,
35 וַיִּתְעָרְבוּ בַגֹּויִם וַיִּלְמְדוּ מַעֲשֵׂיהֶם	35 but intermarried with them, and adopted their ways.
36 וַיַּעַבְדוּ אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶם וַיִּהְיוּ לָהֶם לְמֹוקֵשׁ	36 They worshipped those nations' false gods, til they found themselves entrapped,
37 וַיִּזְבְּחוּ אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֹותֵיהֶם לַשֵּׁדִים	37 and sacrificed their own sons and their daughters to demons.
38 וַיִּשְׁפְּכוּ דָם נָקִי דַּם־בְּנֵיהֶם וּבְנֹותֵיהֶם אֲשֶׁר זִבְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּי כְנָעַן וַתֶּחֱנַף הָאָרֶץ בַּדָּמִים	38 Innocent blood they shed, the blood of their sons and daughters; offering them to the idols ofCanaan, they pol uted the country with blood.
39 וַיִּטְמְאוּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶם וַיִּזְנוּ בְּמַעַלְלֵיהֶם	39 They defiled themselves by such actions, their behaviour was that of a harlot.
40 וַיִּחַר־אַף יְהוָה בְּעַמֹּו וַיְתָעֵב אֶת־נַחֲלָתֹו	40 Yahweh's anger blazed out at his people, his own heritage fil ed him with disgust.
41 וַיִּתְּנֵם בְּיַד־גֹּויִם וַיִּמְשְׁלוּ בָהֶם שֹׂנְאֵיהֶם	41 He handed them over to the nations, and their opponents became their masters;
42 וַיִּלְחָצוּם אֹויְבֵיהֶם וַיִּכָּנְעוּ תַּחַת יָדָם	42 their enemies lorded it over them, crushing them under their rule.
43 פְּעָמִים רַבֹּות יַצִּילֵם וְהֵמָּה יַמְרוּ בַעֲצָתָם וַיָּמֹכּוּ בַּעֲוֹנָם	43 Time and again he rescued them, but they stil defied him deliberately, and sank ever deeper in theirguilt;
44 וַיַּרְא בַּצַּר לָהֶם בְּשָׁמְעֹו אֶת־רִנָּתָם	44 even so he took pity on their distress, as soon as he heard them cry out.
45 וַיִּזְכֹּר לָהֶם בְּרִיתֹו וַיִּנָּחֵם כְּרֹב [חַסְדֹּו כ] (חֲסָדָיו׃ ק)	45 Bearing his covenant with them in mind, he relented in his boundless and faithful love;
46 וַיִּתֵּן אֹותָם לְרַחֲמִים לִפְנֵי כָּל־שֹׁובֵיהֶם	46 he ensured that they received compassion, in their treatment by al their captors.
47 הֹושִׁיעֵנוּ ׀ יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ וְקַבְּצֵנוּ מִן־הַגֹּויִם לְהֹדֹות לְשֵׁם קָדְשֶׁךָ לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּחַ בִּתְהִלָּתֶךָ	47 Save us, Yahweh our God, gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holyname, and may glory in praising you.
48 בָּרוּךְ־יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן־הָעֹולָם ׀ וְעַד הָעֹולָם וְאָמַר כָּל־הָעָם אָמֵן הַלְלוּ־יָהּ	48 Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, from all eternity and for ever! Let all the people say, 'Amen'.
