²⁵ He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.

²⁶ He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

²⁷ They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

²⁸ He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words.

²⁹ He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.

³⁰ Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.

³¹ He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.

³² He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.

³³ He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.

³⁴ He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number,

³⁵ ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground.

³⁶ He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.

³⁷ He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

³⁸ Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.

³⁹ He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.

⁴⁰ They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

⁴¹ He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.

⁴² For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

⁴³ He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with singing.

⁴⁴ He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

⁴⁵ that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise Yah!

¹ Praise Yahweh! Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.

² Who can utter the mighty acts of Yahweh, or fully declare all his praise?

³ Blessed are those who keep justice. Blessed is one who does what is right at all times.

⁴ Remember me, Yahweh, with the favor that you show to your people. Visit me with your salvation,

⁵ that I may see the prosperity of your chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance.

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

⁷ Our fathers didn't understand your wonders in Egypt. They didn't remember the multitude of your loving kindnesses, but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

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

⁹ He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up; so he led them through the depths, as through a desert.

¹⁰ He saved them from the hand of him who hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

¹¹ The waters covered their adversaries. There was not one of them left.

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

¹³ They soon forgot his works. They didn't wait for his counsel,

¹⁴ but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.

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

¹⁶ They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron, Yahweh's saint.

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

¹⁸ A fire was kindled in their company. The flame burned up the wicked.

¹⁹ They made a calf in Horeb, and worshiped a molten image.

²⁰ Thus they exchanged their glory for an image of a bull that eats grass.

²¹ They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt,

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

²³ Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had Moses, his chosen, not stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, so that he wouldn't destroy them.

²⁴ Yes, they despised the pleasant land. They didn't believe his word,

²⁵ but murmured in their tents, and didn't listen to Yahweh's voice.

²⁶ Therefore he swore to them that he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

²⁷ that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, and scatter them in the lands.

²⁸ They joined themselves also to Baal Peor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead.

²⁹ Thus they provoked him to anger with their deeds. The plague broke in on them.

³⁰ Then Phinehas stood up, and executed judgment, so the plague was stopped.

³¹ That was credited to him for righteousness, for all generations to come.

³² They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled for their sakes;

³³ because they were rebellious against his spirit, he spoke rashly with his lips.
