| # Chapter 105
#### 1 | Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
#### 2 | Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises?
#### 3 | Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times.
#### 4 | Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation.
#### 5 | That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.
#### 6 | We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.
#### 7 | Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea.
#### 8 | And he saved them for his own name's sake: that he might make his power known.
#### 9 | And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.
#### 10 | And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
#### 11 | And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left.
#### 12 | And they believed his words: and they sang his praises.
#### 13 | They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsels.
#### 14 | And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water.
#### 15 | And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls.
#### 16 | And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
#### 17 | The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron.
#### 18 | And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked.
#### 19 | They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing.
#### 20 | And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.
#### 21 | They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt,
#### 22 | wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.
#### 23 | And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.
#### 24 | And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word,
#### 25 | and they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
#### 26 | And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert;
#### 27 | And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.
#### 28 | They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
#### 29 | And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them.
#### 30 | Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased.
#### 31 | And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore.
#### 32 | They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes:
#### 33 | because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips.
#### 34 | They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.
#### 35 | And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works:
#### 36 | and served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them.
#### 37 | And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils.
#### 38 | And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood,
#### 39 | and was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions.
#### 40 | And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance.
#### 41 | And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them.
#### 42 | And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands:
#### 43 | many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities.
#### 44 | And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer.
#### 45 | And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
#### 46 | And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives.
#### 47 | Save us, O Lord, our God: and gather us from among nations: That we may give thanks to thy holy name, and may glory in thy praise.
#### 48 | Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.
