1Praise the LORD! Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! (1Ch 16:34; 1Ch 16:41; Ps 100:5; Ps 105:1; Ps 105:45)2Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD, or declare all his praise?3Blessed are they who observe justice, who do righteousness at all times! (Ps 15:2)4Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people; help me when you save them,[1] (Ps 119:132)5that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation, that I may glory with your inheritance. (Ps 105:6; Ps 105:43)6Both we and our fathers have sinned; we have committed iniquity; we have done wickedness. (Le 26:40; 1Ki 8:47; Ezr 9:6; Ne 1:6; Ne 1:7; Ne 9:16; Ps 79:8; Jer 3:25; Jer 14:20; Da 9:5)7Our fathers, when they were in Egypt, did not consider your wondrous works; they did not remember the abundance of your steadfast love, but rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea. (Ex 14:11; Ex 14:12; Ps 106:13)8Yet he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make known his mighty power. (Ex 9:16; Eze 20:9; Eze 20:14)9He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry, and he led them through the deep as through a desert. (Ex 14:21; Ps 18:15; Ps 104:7; Isa 50:2; Isa 51:10; Isa 63:13)10So he saved them from the hand of the foe and redeemed them from the power of the enemy. (Ex 14:30; Ps 107:2)11And the waters covered their adversaries; not one of them was left. (Ex 14:28; Ex 15:5)12Then they believed his words; they sang his praise. (Ex 14:31; Ex 15:1)13But they soon forgot his works; they did not wait for his counsel. (Ex 15:24; Ex 16:2; Ex 17:2; Ps 78:11; Ps 107:11)14But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness, and put God to the test in the desert; (Ex 17:2; Nu 11:4; Ps 78:18; 1Co 10:6; 1Co 10:9)15he gave them what they asked, but sent a wasting disease among them. (Ps 78:29; Isa 10:16)16When men in the camp were jealous of Moses and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD, (Nu 16:1; De 33:2; Zec 14:5; Jud 1:14)17the earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram. (Nu 16:31; Nu 16:32; De 11:6)18Fire also broke out in their company; the flame burned up the wicked. (Nu 16:35)19They made a calf in Horeb and worshiped a metal image. (Ex 32:4; De 9:8; Ac 7:41)20They exchanged the glory of God[2] for the image of an ox that eats grass. (Jer 2:11; Ro 1:23)21They forgot God, their Savior, who had done great things in Egypt, (De 32:18; Ps 78:11; Ps 106:7)22wondrous works in the land of Ham, and awesome deeds by the Red Sea. (Ps 78:51; Ps 105:23; Ps 105:27)23Therefore he said he would destroy them— had not Moses, his chosen one, stood in the breach before him, to turn away his wrath from destroying them. (Ex 32:10; De 9:14; Ps 105:6; Eze 20:8; Eze 22:30)24Then they despised the pleasant land, having no faith in his promise. (Nu 14:31; De 1:32; De 9:23; Zec 7:14)25They murmured in their tents, and did not obey the voice of the LORD. (Nu 14:2; De 1:27)26Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them that he would make them fall in the wilderness, (Ex 6:8; Nu 14:30; De 32:40; Ps 95:11; Eze 20:6; Eze 20:15; Eze 20:23)27and would make their offspring fall among the nations, scattering them among the lands. (Ps 44:11)28Then they yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices offered to the dead; (Nu 25:3; Isa 8:19; Ho 9:10)29they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.30Then Phinehas stood up and intervened, and the plague was stayed. (Nu 25:7; Nu 25:8)31And that was counted to him as righteousness from generation to generation forever. (Ge 15:6)32They angered him at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account, (Nu 20:2; De 1:37)33for they made his spirit bitter,[3] and he spoke rashly with his lips. (Nu 20:10; Ps 78:40; Ps 107:11; Isa 63:10)34They did not destroy the peoples, as the LORD commanded them, (De 7:2; De 7:16; Jud 1:21; Jud 1:27; Jud 2:2)35but they mixed with the nations and learned to do as they did. (Jud 3:5; Jud 3:6; Ezr 9:2)36They served their idols, which became a snare to them. (Ex 23:33; De 7:16; Jud 2:3)37They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; (De 32:17; 2Ki 16:3; Isa 57:5; Eze 16:20; Eze 20:26; 1Co 10:20)38they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. (Isa 24:5)39Thus they became unclean by their acts, and played the whore in their deeds. (Ps 73:27; Eze 20:18; Eze 20:30; Eze 20:31)40Then the anger of the LORD was kindled against his people, and he abhorred his heritage; (Jud 2:14; Ps 28:9; Ps 78:59; Ps 78:62)41he gave them into the hand of the nations, so that those who hated them ruled over them. (Ne 9:27)42Their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their power. (Jud 4:3; Jud 10:12)43Many times he delivered them, but they were rebellious in their purposes and were brought low through their iniquity. (Le 26:39; Jud 2:16; Ps 81:12)44Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress, when he heard their cry. (Jud 3:9; Jud 4:3; Jud 6:7; Jud 10:10)45For their sake he remembered his covenant, and relented according to the abundance of his steadfast love. (Le 26:42; Ps 51:1; Ps 69:16; Ps 90:13; Ps 105:8; Ps 106:7; Isa 63:7; La 3:32)46He caused them to be pitied by all those who held them captive. (1Ki 8:50; 2Ch 30:9; Ezr 9:9; Ne 1:11; Jer 42:12)47Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the nations, that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praise. (1Ch 16:35; 1Ch 16:36; Ps 107:3)48Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, “Amen!” Praise the LORD! (Ps 41:13; Ps 104:35)
1Halleluja! Danket dem HERRN; denn er ist freundlich, und seine Güte währet ewiglich. (1Ch 16:34; Ps 100:4; Ps 107:1; Ps 118:1; Ps 136:1)2Wer kann die großen Taten des HERRN alle erzählen und sein Lob genug verkündigen? (Joh 21:25; Heb 11:32)3Wohl denen, die das Gebot halten und tun immerdar recht!4HERR, gedenke meiner nach der Gnade, die du deinem Volk verheißen hast; erweise an uns deine Hilfe,5dass wir sehen das Heil deiner Auserwählten und uns freuen, dass es deinem Volke so gut geht, und uns rühmen mit denen, die dein Eigen sind.6Wir haben gesündigt samt unsern Vätern, wir haben unrecht getan und sind gottlos gewesen. (Da 9:5)7Unsre Väter in Ägypten wollten deine Wunder nicht verstehen. Sie gedachten nicht an deine große Güte und waren ungehorsam am Meer, am Schilfmeer. (Ex 14:11)8Er aber half ihnen um seines Namens willen, dass er kundtue seine Macht.9Er schalt das Schilfmeer, da wurde es trocken, und führte sie durch die Tiefen wie durch trockenes Land10und half ihnen aus der Hand dessen, der sie hasste, und erlöste sie von der Hand des Feindes.11Und die Wasser bedeckten ihre Widersacher, dass nicht einer übrig blieb.12Da glaubten sie an seine Worte und sangen sein Lob. (Ex 15:21)13Aber sie vergaßen bald seine Werke, sie warteten nicht auf seinen Rat.14Und sie wurden lüstern in der Wüste und versuchten Gott in der Einöde. (Nu 11:4)15Er aber gab ihnen, was sie erbaten, und sandte ihnen eine Plage. (Nu 11:33)16Und sie empörten sich wider Mose im Lager, wider Aaron, den Heiligen des HERRN. (Nu 16:1)17Die Erde tat sich auf und verschlang Datan und deckte zu die Rotte Abirams, (Nu 16:31)18und Feuer wurde unter ihrer Rotte angezündet, die Flamme verbrannte die Frevler.19Sie machten ein Kalb am Horeb und beteten das gegossene Bild an (Ex 32:1)20und tauschten die Herrlichkeit Gottes gegen das Bild eines Ochsen, der Gras frisst. (Ro 1:23)21Sie vergaßen Gott, ihren Heiland, der so große Dinge in Ägypten getan hatte, (De 32:18)22Wunder im Lande Hams und schreckliche Wunder am Schilfmeer.23Und er gedachte, sie zu vertilgen, wäre nicht Mose gewesen, sein Auserwählter; der trat vor ihm in die Bresche, seinen Grimm abzuwenden, dass er sie nicht verderbe. (De 9:25)24Und sie achteten das köstliche Land gering; sie glaubten seinem Worte nicht (De 8:7)25und murrten in ihren Zelten; sie gehorchten der Stimme des HERRN nicht.26Da erhob er seine Hand wider sie, dass er sie niederschlüge in der Wüste27und würfe ihre Nachkommen unter die Völker und zerstreute sie in die Länder.28Und sie hängten sich an den Baal-Peor und aßen von den Opfern für die Toten (Nu 25:3)29und erzürnten den Herrn mit ihrem Tun. Da brach die Plage herein über sie.30Da trat Pinhas hinzu und vollzog das Gericht; da wurde der Plage gewehrt; (Nu 25:7)31das wurde ihm gerechnet zur Gerechtigkeit von Geschlecht zu Geschlecht ewiglich.32Und sie erzürnten den Herrn am Haderwasser, und Mose ging es übel um ihretwillen; (Nu 20:2)33denn sie erbitterten seinen Sinn, dass ihm unbedachte Worte entfuhren.34Auch vertilgten sie die Völker nicht, wie ihnen der HERR doch geboten hatte, (De 7:1; De 12:2; Jud 1:28; Jud 2:23)35sondern vermischten sich mit den Heiden und lernten ihre Werke36und dienten ihren Götzen; die wurden ihnen zum Fallstrick.37Und sie opferten ihre Söhne und ihre Töchter den bösen Geistern (Le 18:21; 2Ki 21:6; 2Ki 21:16)38und vergossen unschuldig Blut, das Blut ihrer Söhne und Töchter, die sie opferten den Götzen Kanaans, sodass das Land mit Blutschuld befleckt ward.39Sie machten sich unrein mit ihren Werken und wurden abtrünnig durch ihr Tun.40Da entbrannte der Zorn des HERRN über sein Volk, und sein Erbe wurde ihm zum Abscheu.41Er gab sie in die Hand der Völker, dass über sie herrschten, die ihnen gram waren. (Jud 2:14)42Und ihre Feinde bedrängten sie, und sie wurden gedemütigt unter ihre Hand.43Er errettete sie oftmals; / aber sie erzürnten ihn mit ihrem Vorhaben und schwanden dahin um ihrer Missetat willen.44Da sah er ihre Not an, als er ihre Klage hörte,45und gedachte um ihretwillen an seinen Bund, und es reute ihn nach seiner großen Güte.46Und er ließ sie Barmherzigkeit finden bei allen, die sie gefangen hielten.47Hilf uns, HERR, unser Gott, und bring uns zusammen aus den Völkern, dass wir preisen deinen heiligen Namen und uns rühmen, dass wir dich loben können! (De 30:3; 1Ch 16:35)48Gelobt sei der HERR, der Gott Israels, von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit, und alles Volk spreche: Amen! Halleluja! (1Ch 16:36; Ps 41:14)

L’infedeltà d’Israele e la bontà di Dio
1Alleluia! Celebrate il Signore, perché egli è buono, perché la sua bontà dura in eterno.2Chi può raccontare le gesta del Signore, o proclamare tutta la sua lode?3Beati coloro che osservano ciò che è prescritto, che fanno ciò che è giusto, in ogni tempo!4O Signore, ricòrdati di me quando usi benevolenza verso il tuo popolo; visitami quando lo salverai,5perché io veda la felicità dei tuoi eletti, mi rallegri della gioia della tua nazione ed esulti con la tua eredità.6Noi e i nostri padri abbiamo peccato, abbiamo mancato, abbiamo fatto il male.7I nostri padri in Egitto non compresero i tuoi prodigi; non ricordarono le tue numerose benedizioni e si ribellarono presso il mare, il mar Rosso.8Ma egli li salvò per amore del suo nome, per far conoscere la sua potenza.9Sgridò il mar Rosso ed esso si prosciugò; li guidò attraverso gli abissi marini come attraverso un deserto.10Li salvò dalla mano di chi li odiava e li riscattò dalla mano del nemico.11Le acque ricoprirono i loro avversari; non ne scampò neppure uno.12Allora credettero alle sue parole e cantarono la sua lode.13Ben presto però dimenticarono le sue opere; non aspettarono fiduciosi l’adempimento del suo piano,14ma nel deserto furono presi da cupidigia e tentarono Dio nella solitudine.15Ed egli diede loro quanto chiedevano, ma provocò in loro un morbo consumante.16Divennero invidiosi di Mosè nell’accampamento, e di Aaronne, il santo del Signore.17La terra si aprì, inghiottì Datan e seppellì il gruppo di Abiram.18Un fuoco divampò nella loro assemblea, la fiamma consumò gli empi.19Fecero un vitello in Oreb e adorarono un’immagine di metallo fuso;20così sostituirono la gloria di Dio con la figura di un bue che mangia l’erba.21Dimenticarono Dio, loro salvatore, che aveva fatto cose grandi in Egitto,22cose meravigliose nel paese di Cam, cose tremende sul mar Rosso.23Egli parlò di sterminarli; tuttavia Mosè, suo eletto, stette sulla breccia davanti a lui per impedire all’ira sua di distruggerli.24Disprezzarono il paese delizioso, non credettero alla sua parola;25mormorarono sotto le loro tende e non ascoltarono la voce del Signore.26Perciò, egli alzò la mano su di loro giurando di abbatterli nel deserto,27di far perire i loro discendenti fra le nazioni e di disperderli per tutti i paesi.28Si misero sotto il giogo di Baal-Peor e mangiarono i sacrifici dei morti.29Irritarono Dio con le loro azioni e una pestilenza scoppiò tra loro.30Ma Fineas si alzò, fece giustizia e il flagello cessò.31E ciò gli fu messo in conto come giustizia di generazione in generazione, per sempre.32Lo provocarono presso le acque di Meriba e ne venne del male a Mosè per causa loro;33perché inasprirono il suo spirito ed egli parlò senza riflettere.34Essi non distrussero i popoli, come il Signore aveva loro comandato;35ma si mescolarono con le nazioni e impararono le loro opere.36Servirono i loro idoli, che divennero un laccio per essi;37sacrificarono i propri figli e le proprie figlie ai demòni,38e sparsero il sangue innocente, il sangue dei propri figli e delle proprie figlie, che sacrificarono agli idoli di Canaan; e il paese fu profanato dal sangue versato.39Essi si contaminarono con le loro opere e si prostituirono con i loro atti.40L’ira del Signore si accese contro il suo popolo ed egli prese in abominio la sua eredità.41Li diede nelle mani delle nazioni e furono dominati da quanti li odiavano.42I loro nemici li oppressero, e furono umiliati sotto la loro mano.43Molte volte li liberò, ma essi si ostinavano a ribellarsi e si rovinavano per la loro iniquità.44Tuttavia, volse a loro lo sguardo quando furono in angoscia, quando udì il loro grido;45si ricordò del suo patto con loro e nella sua grande misericordia si pentì.46Fece sì che avessero compassione di loro tutti quelli che li avevano deportati.47Salvaci, o Signore, Dio nostro, e raccoglici di tra le nazioni, perché celebriamo il tuo santo nome e troviamo la nostra gloria nel lodarti.48Benedetto sia il Signore, il Dio d’Israele, d’eternità in eternità! E tutto il popolo dica: «Amen!» Alleluia.
