¹הללויה הודו ליהוה כי טוב כי לעולם חסדו׃

¹Hallelujah! Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

²מי ימלל גבורות יהוה ישמיע כל תהלתו׃

²Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah? [who] can shew forth all his praise?

³אשרי שמרי משפט עשה צדקה בכל עת׃

³Blessed are they that keep justice, [and] he that doeth righteousness at all times.

⁴זכרני יהוה ברצון עמך פקדני בישועתך׃

⁴Remember me, O Jehovah, with [thy] favour toward thy people; visit me with thy salvation:

⁵לראות בטובת בחיריך לשמח בשמחת גויך להתהלל עם נחלתך׃

⁵That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the joy of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

⁶חטאנו עם אבותינו העוינו הרשענו׃

⁶We have sinned with our fathers, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

⁷אבותינו במצרים לא השכילו נפלאותיך לא זכרו את רב חסדיך וימרו על ים בים סוף׃

⁷Our fathers in Egypt considered not thy wondrous works; they remembered not the multitude of thy loving-kindnesses; but they rebelled at the sea, at the Red Sea.

⁸ויושיעם למען שמו להודיע את גבורתו׃

⁸Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make known his might.

⁹ויגער בים סוף ויחרב ויוליכם בתהמות כמדבר׃

⁹And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; and he led them through the deeps as through a wilderness.

¹⁰ויושיעם מיד שונא ויגאלם מיד אויב׃

¹⁰And he saved them from the hand of him that hated [them], and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹ויכסו מים צריהם אחד מהם לא נותר׃

¹¹And the waters covered their oppressors: there was not one of them left.

¹²ויאמינו בדבריו ישירו תהלתו׃

¹²Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

¹³מהרו שכחו מעשיו לא חכו לעצתו׃

¹³They soon forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel:

¹⁴ויתאוו תאוה במדבר וינסו אל בישימון׃

¹⁴And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted ùGod in the desert.

¹⁵ויתן להם שאלתם וישלח רזון בנפשם׃

¹⁵Then he gave them their request, but sent leanness into their soul.

¹⁶ויקנאו למשה במחנה לאהרן קדוש יהוה׃

¹⁶And they envied Moses in the camp, [and] Aaron, the saint of Jehovah.

¹⁷תפתח ארץ ותבלע דתן ותכס על עדת אבירם׃

¹⁷The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram;

¹⁸ותבער אש בעדתם להבה תלהט רשעים׃

¹⁸And fire was kindled in their company; a flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹יעשו עגל בחרב וישתחוו למסכה׃

¹⁹They made a calf in Horeb, and did homage to a molten image;

²⁰וימירו את כבודם בתבנית שור אכל עשב׃

²⁰And they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

²¹שכחו אל מושיעם עשה גדלות במצרים׃

²¹They forgot ùGod their Saviour, who had done great things in Egypt,

²²נפלאות בארץ חם נוראות על ים סוף׃

²²Wondrous works in the land of Ham, terrible things by the Red Sea.

²³ויאמר להשמידם לולי משה בחירו עמד בפרץ לפניו להשיב חמתו מהשחית׃

²³And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy [them].

²⁴וימאסו בארץ חמדה לא האמינו לדברו׃

²⁴And they despised the pleasant land; they believed not his word,

²⁵וירגנו באהליהם לא שמעו בקול יהוה׃

²⁵But murmured in their tents: they hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

²⁶וישא ידו להם להפיל אותם במדבר׃

²⁶And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness;

²⁷ולהפיל זרעם בגוים ולזרותם בארצות׃

²⁷And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

²⁸ויצמדו לבעל פעור ויאכלו זבחי מתים׃

²⁸And they joined themselves unto Baal-Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead;

²⁹ויכעיסו במעלליהם ותפרץ בם מגפה׃

²⁹And they provoked [him] to anger with their doings; and a plague broke out among them.

³⁰ויעמד פינחס ויפלל ותעצר המגפה׃

³⁰Then stood up Phinehas and executed judgment, and the plague was stayed;

³¹ותחשב לו לצדקה לדר ודר עד עולם׃

³¹And that was reckoned unto him for righteousness, from generation to generation, for evermore.

³²ויקציפו על מי מריבה וירע למשה בעבורם׃

³²And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;

³³כי המרו את רוחו ויבטא בשפתיו׃

³³For they provoked his spirit, so that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips.

³⁴לא השמידו את העמים אשר אמר יהוה להם׃

³⁴They did not destroy the peoples, as Jehovah commanded them;

³⁵ויתערבו בגוים וילמדו מעשיהם׃

³⁵But they mingled with the nations, and learned their works;

³⁶ויעבדו את עצביהם ויהיו להם למוקש׃

³⁶And they served their idols; and they were a snare unto them:

³⁷ויזבחו את בניהם ואת בנותיהם לשדים׃

³⁷And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

³⁸וישפכו דם נקי דם בניהם ובנותיהם אשר זבחו לעצבי כנען ותחנף הארץ בדמים׃

³⁸And shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; and the land was polluted with blood.

³⁹ויטמאו במעשיהם ויזנו במעלליהם׃

³⁹And they were defiled with their works, and went a-whoring in their doings.

⁴⁰ויחר אף יהוה בעמו ויתעב את נחלתו׃

⁴⁰Then was the anger of Jehovah kindled against his people, and he abhorred his inheritance;

⁴¹ויתנם ביד גוים וימשלו בהם שנאיהם׃

⁴¹And he gave them into the hand of the nations; and they that hated them ruled over them:

⁴²וילחצום אויביהם ויכנעו תחת ידם׃

⁴²And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.

⁴³פעמים רבות יצילם והמה ימרו בעצתם וימכו בעונם׃

⁴³Often did he deliver them; but as for them they provoked [him] by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquity.

⁴⁴וירא בצר להם בשמעו את רנתם׃

⁴⁴But he regarded their distress, when he heard their cry;

⁴⁵ויזכר להם בריתו וינחם כרב חסדו׃

⁴⁵And he remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses;

⁴⁶ויתן אותם לרחמים לפני כל שוביהם׃

⁴⁶And he caused them to find compassion of all those that had carried them captives.

⁴⁷הושיענו יהוה אלהינו וקבצנו מן הגוים להדות לשם קדשך להשתבח בתהלתך׃

⁴⁷Save us, Jehovah our God, and gather us from among the nations, to give thanks unto thy holy name, [and] to triumph in thy praise.

⁴⁸ברוך יהוה אלהי ישראל מן העולם ועד העולם ואמר כל העם אמן הללו יה׃

⁴⁸Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, from eternity and to eternity! And let all the people say, Amen! Hallelujah!
