CONFITEMINI DOMINO.
1 O give thanks unto the | Lord, for • he is | gracious ||
and his | 3 mercy en- | 3 dureth for | ever. ||
2 Who can express the noble | acts • of the | Lord ||
or | shew forth | all his | praise? ||
3 Blessed are they that alway keep judgement | and do | righteous•ness. ||
4 Remember me, O Lord, according to the favour that thou | bearest | 3 unto thy | people ||
O visit me with thy salvation; * 5 That I may see the fe- | licity • of thy | chosen ||
and rejoice in the gladness of thy people, * and give | thanks with | thine in- | heri•tance. ||
6 We have | sinned • with our | fathers ||
we have | done a- | 3 miss, and dealt | wicked•ly. ||
7 Our fathers regarded not thy wonders in Egypt, * neither kept they thy great | goodness • in re- | membrance ||
but were disobedient at the | sea, | even • at the | Red sea. ||
8 Nevertheless, he | helped them • for his | Name's sake ||
that he might | make his | power • to be | known. ||
9 He rebuked the Red sea also, and 3 it | was dried | up ||
so he led them through the | deep, as | through a | wilder•ness. ||
10 And he saved them from the | adver•saries' | hand ||
and de- | livered them • from the | 3 hand of the | ene•my. ||
11 As for those that troubled them, the waters overwhelmed them; * there was not | one of • them | left. ||
12 Then be- | 3 lieved they his | words and • sang | praise unto • him. ||
13 But within a while they for- | gat his | works ||
and | 3 would not a- | bide his | counsel. ||
14 But lust came up- | on them • in the | wilder•ness ||
and they | tempted | God • in the | desert. ||
15 And he | gave them • their de- | sire ||
and sent | lean•ness with- | al in•to their | soul. ||
16 They angered Moses | also • in the | tents ||
and | 3 Aaron the | saint • of the | Lord. ||
17 So the earth opened, and | 3 swallowed up | Dathan ||
and | covered the • congre- | gation • of A- | biram. ||
18 And the fire was | kindled • in their | compa•ny ||
the | flame burnt | up • the un- | godly. ||
19 They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the | molten | image. ||
20 Thus they turned their glory into the similitude of a | calf that | eateth | hay. ||
21 And they forgat God their Saviour, who had done so | great • things in | Egypt; ||
22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and | fearful • things | by the • Red | sea. ||
23 So he said, he would have destroyed them, * had not Moses his chosen stood be- | fore him • in the | gap ||
to turn away his wrathful indig- | nation, | lest he • should de- | stroy them. ||
24 Yea, they thought scorn of that pleasant land, and gave no credence | 3 unto his | word; ||
25 But murmured in their tents, * and hearkened not | 3 unto the | voice • of the | Lord. ||
26 Then lift he up his hand against them, to over- | throw them • in the | wilder•ness; ||
27 To cast out their seed among the nations, and to | scatter • them | in the | lands. ||
28 They joined themselves unto | Baal- | peor ||
and | ate the | offerings • of the | dead. ||
29 Thus they provoked him to anger with their | own in- | ventions ||
and the | plague was | great a- | mong them. ||
30 Then stood up Phinees and prayed, and | so the • plague | ceased. ||
31 And that was counted unto him for righteousness among all pos- | teri•ties for | ever- | more. ||
32 They angered him also at the | 3 waters of | strife ||
so that he punished | Moses | for their | sakes; ||
33 Because they pro- | voked his | spirit ||
so that he spake unad- | 3 visedly | with his | lips. ||
34 Neither destroyed they the heathen, as the | Lord com- | manded • them; ||
35 But were mingled among the | heathen • and | learned their | works. ||
36 Insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their | own de- | cay ||
yea, they offered their | sons • and their | daughters • unto | devils; ||
37 And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their | sons and • of their | daughters ||
whom they offered unto the idols of Canaan; * and the | land • was de- | filed with | blood. ||
38 Thus were they stained with their own works, * and went a whoring with their | own in- | ventions. ||
39 Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against his people, * insomuch that he ab- | horred his | own in- | heri•tance. ||
40 And he gave them over into the hands of the heathen; * and they that | hated • them were | lords • over them. ||
41 Their enemies op- | pressed • them and | had them • in sub- | jection. ||
42 Many a time 3 did | he de- | liver • them ||
but they rebelled against him with their own inventions, * 3 and | were brought | down • in their | wicked•ness. ||
43 Nevertheless, when he saw their adversity, he | heard • their com- | plaint. ||
44 He | thought up•on his | cove•nant, and | pitied • them ||
according unto the | multitude • of his | mercies ||
yea, he made all those that | led them a•way | 3 captive to | pity • them. ||
45 Deliver us, O Lord our God, and gather us from a- | mong the | heathen ||
that we may give thanks unto thy holy Name, * and | make our | 3 boast of thy | praise. ||
46 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and | world with•out | end ||
and let all the | people | say, A- | men. ||
Glory | be • to the | Father, ||
and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||
As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||
is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
