hallu yah hodu laADONAI ki-tov ki le'olam chasdo
Hallelujah. O give thanks unto the LORD; for He is good; for His mercy endureth for ever.
2מִ֗י יְ֭מַלֵּל גְּבוּר֣וֹת יְהוָ֑ה יַ֝שְׁמִ֗יעַ כָּל־תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃
mi yemallel gevurot ADONAI yashmia kal-tehillato
Who can express the mighty acts of the LORD, or make all His praise to be heard?
3אַ֭שְׁרֵי שֹׁמְרֵ֣י מִשְׁפָּ֑ט עֹשֵׂ֖ה צְדָקָ֣ה בְכָל־עֵֽת׃
ashre shomre mishpat ose tzedaka vekhal-et
Happy are they that keep justice, that do righteousness at all times.
4זָכְרֵ֣נִי יְ֭הוָה בִּרְצ֣וֹן עַמֶּ֑ךָ פָּ֝קְדֵ֗נִי בִּישׁוּעָתֶֽךָ׃
zakhreni ADONAI birtzon ammekha pakdeni bishu'atekha
Remember me, O LORD, when Thou favourest Thy people; O think of me at Thy salvation;
5לִרְא֤וֹת ׀ בְּט֘וֹבַ֤ת בְּחִירֶ֗יךָ לִ֭שְׂמֹחַ בְּשִׂמְחַ֣ת גּוֹיֶ֑ךָ לְ֝הִתְהַלֵּ֗ל עִם־נַחֲלָתֶֽךָ׃
lirot betovat bechirekha lismoach besimchat goyekha lehithallel im-nachalatekha
That I may behold the prosperity of Thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of Thy nation, that I may glory with Thine inheritance.
6חָטָ֥אנוּ עִם־אֲבוֹתֵ֗ינוּ הֶעֱוִ֥ינוּ הִרְשָֽׁעְנוּ׃
chatanu im-avotenu he'evinu hirsha'nu
We have sinned with our fathers, we have done iniquitously, we have dealt wickedly.
7אֲב֘וֹתֵ֤ינוּ בְמִצְרַ֨יִם ׀ לֹא־הִשְׂכִּ֬ילוּ נִפְלְאוֹתֶ֗יךָ לֹ֣א זָ֭כְרוּ אֶת־רֹ֣ב חֲסָדֶ֑יךָ וַיַּמְר֖וּ עַל־יָ֣ם בְּיַם־סֽוּף׃
avotenu vemitzrayim lo-hiskilu nifleotekha lo zakhru et-rov chasadekha vayyamru al-yam beyam-suf
Our fathers in Egypt gave no heed unto Thy wonders; they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies; but were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.
8וַֽ֭יּוֹשִׁיעֵם לְמַ֣עַן שְׁמ֑וֹ לְ֝הוֹדִ֗יעַ אֶת־גְּבוּרָתֽוֹ׃
vayyoshi'em lema'an shemo lehodia et-gevurato
Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, that He might make His mighty power to be known.
9וַיִּגְעַ֣ר בְּיַם־ס֭וּף וַֽיֶּחֱרָ֑ב וַיּוֹלִיכֵ֥ם בַּ֝תְּהֹמ֗וֹת כַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
vayyig'ar beyam-suf vayyecherav vayyolikhem battehomot kammidbar
And He rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up; and He led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.
10וַֽ֭יּוֹשִׁיעֵם מִיַּ֣ד שׂוֹנֵ֑א וַ֝יִּגְאָלֵ֗ם מִיַּ֥ד אוֹיֵֽב׃
vayyoshi'em miyyad sone vayyig'alem miyyad oyev
And He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11וַיְכַסּוּ־מַ֥יִם צָרֵיהֶ֑ם אֶחָ֥ד מֵ֝הֶ֗ם לֹ֣א נוֹתָֽר׃
vaykhassu-mayim tzarehem echad mehem lo notar
And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.
12וַיַּאֲמִ֥ינוּ בִדְבָרָ֑יו יָ֝שִׁ֗ירוּ תְּהִלָּתֽוֹ׃
vayya'aminu vidvarav yashiru tehillato
Then believed they His words; They sang His praise.
13מִֽ֭הֲרוּ שָׁכְח֣וּ מַעֲשָׂ֑יו לֹֽא־חִ֝כּ֗וּ לַעֲצָתֽוֹ׃
miharu shakhchu ma'asav lo-chikku la'atzato
They soon forgot His works; They waited not for His counsel;
14וַיִּתְאַוּ֣וּ תַ֭אֲוָה בַּמִּדְבָּ֑ר וַיְנַסּוּ־אֵ֝֗ל בִּֽישִׁימֽוֹן׃
vayyit'avvu ta'ava bammidbar vaynassu-el bishimon
But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tried God in the desert.
15וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם שֶׁאֱלָתָ֑ם וַיְשַׁלַּ֖ח רָז֣וֹן בְּנַפְשָֽׁם׃
vayyitten lahem she'elatam vayshallach razon benafsham
And He gave them their request; But sent leanness into their soul.
16וַיְקַנְא֣וּ לְ֭מֹשֶׁה בַּֽמַּחֲנֶ֑ה לְ֝אַהֲרֹ֗ן קְד֣וֹשׁ יְהוָֽה׃
vaykanu lemoshe bammachane le'aharon kedosh ADONAI
They were jealous also of Moses in the camp, And of Aaron the holy one of the LORD.
17תִּפְתַּח־אֶ֭רֶץ וַתִּבְלַ֣ע דָּתָ֑ן וַ֝תְּכַ֗ס עַל־עֲדַ֥ת אֲבִירָֽם׃
tiftach-eretz vattivla' datan vattekhas al-adat aviram
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.
18וַתִּבְעַר־אֵ֥שׁ בַּעֲדָתָ֑ם לֶ֝הָבָ֗ה תְּלַהֵ֥ט רְשָׁעִֽים׃
vattiv'ar-esh ba'adatam lehava telahet resha'im
And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.
19יַעֲשׂוּ־עֵ֥גֶל בְּחֹרֵ֑ב וַ֝יִּשְׁתַּחֲו֗וּ לְמַסֵּכָֽה׃
ya'asu-egel bechorev vayyishtachavu lemassekha
They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.
20וַיָּמִ֥ירוּ אֶת־כְּבוֹדָ֑ם בְּתַבְנִ֥ית שׁ֝֗וֹר אֹכֵ֥ל עֵֽשֶׂב׃
vayyamiru et-kevodam betavnit shor okhel esev
Thus they exchanged their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.
21שָׁ֭כְחוּ אֵ֣ל מוֹשִׁיעָ֑ם עֹשֶׂ֖ה גְדֹל֣וֹת בְּמִצְרָֽיִם׃
shakhchu el moshi'am ose gedolot bemitzrayim
They forgot God their saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt;
22נִ֭פְלָאוֹת בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָ֑ם נ֝וֹרָא֗וֹת עַל־יַם־סֽוּף׃
niflaot be'eretz cham noraot al-yam-suf
Wondrous works in the land of Ham, Terrible things by the Red Sea.
23וַיֹּ֗אמֶר לְֽהַשְׁמִ֫ידָ֥ם לוּלֵ֡י מֹ֘שֶׁ֤ה בְחִיר֗וֹ עָמַ֣ד בַּפֶּ֣רֶץ לְפָנָ֑יו לְהָשִׁ֥יב חֲ֝מָת֗וֹ מֵֽהַשְׁחִֽית׃
vayyomer lehashmidam lule moshe vechiro amad bapperetz lefanav lehashiv chamato mehashchit
Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses His chosen stood before Him in the breach, To turn back His wrath, lest He should destroy them.
24וַֽ֭יִּמְאֲסוּ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חֶמְדָּ֑ה לֹֽא־הֶ֝אֱמִ֗ינוּ לִדְבָרֽוֹ׃
vayyim'asu be'eretz chemda lo-he'eminu lidvaro
Moreover, they scorned the desirable land, They believed not His word;
25וַיֵּרָגְנ֥וּ בְאָהֳלֵיהֶ֑ם לֹ֥א שָׁ֝מְע֗וּ בְּק֣וֹל יְהוָֽה׃
vayyeragnu ve'aholehem lo sham'u bekol ADONAI
And they murmured in their tents, They hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.
26וַיִּשָּׂ֣א יָד֣וֹ לָהֶ֑ם לְהַפִּ֥יל א֝וֹתָ֗ם בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃
vayyissa yado lahem lehappil otam bammidbar
Therefore He swore concerning them, That He would overthrow them in the wilderness;
27וּלְהַפִּ֣יל זַ֭רְעָם בַּגּוֹיִ֑ם וּ֝לְזָרוֹתָ֗ם בָּאֲרָצֽוֹת׃
ulehappil zar'am baggoyim ulezarotam ba'aratzot
And that He would cast out their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
28וַ֭יִּצָּ֣מְדוּ לְבַ֣עַל פְּע֑וֹר וַ֝יֹּאכְל֗וּ זִבְחֵ֥י מֵתִֽים׃
vayyitzamdu leva'al pe'or vayyokhlu zivche metim
They joined themselves also unto Baal of Peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.
29וַ֭יַּכְעִיסוּ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶ֑ם וַתִּפְרָץ־בָּ֝֗ם מַגֵּפָֽה׃
vayyakh'isu bema'allehem vattifratz-bam maggefa
Thus they provoked Him with their doings, And the plague broke in upon them.
30וַיַּעֲמֹ֣ד פִּֽ֭ינְחָס וַיְפַלֵּ֑ל וַ֝תֵּעָצַ֗ר הַמַּגֵּפָֽה׃
vayya'amod pinchas vayfallel vatte'atzar hammaggefa
Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment, And so the plague was stayed.
31וַתֵּחָ֣שֶׁב ל֭וֹ לִצְדָקָ֑ה לְדֹ֥ר וָ֝דֹ֗ר עַד־עוֹלָֽם׃
vattechashev lo litzdaka ledor vador ad-olam
And that was counted unto him for righteousness, Unto all generations for ever.
32וַ֭יַּקְצִיפוּ עַל־מֵ֥י מְרִיבָ֑ה וַיֵּ֥רַע לְ֝מֹשֶׁ֗ה בַּעֲבוּרָֽם׃
vayyaktzifu al-me meriva vayyera' lemoshe ba'avuram
They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah, And it went ill with Moses because of them;
33כִּֽי־הִמְר֥וּ אֶת־רוּח֑וֹ וַ֝יְבַטֵּ֗א בִּשְׂפָתָֽיו׃
ki-himru et-rucho vayvatte bisfatav
For they embittered his spirit, And he spoke rashly with his lips.
34לֹֽא־הִ֭שְׁמִידוּ אֶת־הָֽעַמִּ֑ים אֲשֶׁ֤ר אָמַ֖ר יְהוָ֣ה לָהֶֽם׃
lo-hishmidu et-ha'ammim asher amar ADONAI lahem
They did not destroy the peoples, As the LORD commanded them;
35וַיִּתְעָרְב֥וּ בַגּוֹיִ֑ם וַֽ֝יִּלְמְד֗וּ מַֽעֲשֵׂיהֶֽם׃
vayyit'arvu vaggoyim vayyilmedu ma'asehem
But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works;
36וַיַּעַבְד֥וּ אֶת־עֲצַבֵּיהֶ֑ם וַיִּהְי֖וּ לָהֶ֣ם לְמוֹקֵֽשׁ׃
vayya'avdu et-atzabbehem vayyihyu lahem lemokesh
And they served their idols, Which became a snare unto them;
37וַיִּזְבְּח֣וּ אֶת־בְּ֭נֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֽוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם לַשֵּֽׁדִים׃
vayyizbechu et-benehem ve'et-benotehem lashedim
Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
38וַיִּֽשְׁפְּכ֨וּ דָ֪ם נָקִ֡י דַּם־בְּנֵ֘יהֶ֤ם וּֽבְנוֹתֵיהֶ֗ם אֲשֶׁ֣ר זִ֭בְּחוּ לַעֲצַבֵּ֣י כְנָ֑עַן וַתֶּחֱנַ֥ף הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ בַּדָּמִֽים׃
vayyishpekhu dam naki dam-benehem uvenotehem asher zibbechu la'atzabbe khena'an vattechenaf ha'aretz baddamim
And shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
39וַיִּטְמְא֥וּ בְמַעֲשֵׂיהֶ֑ם וַ֝יִּזְנוּ֗ בְּמַֽעַלְלֵיהֶֽם׃
vayyitmeu vema'asehem vayyiznu bema'allehem
Thus were they defiled with their works, And went astray in their doings.
40וַיִּֽחַר־אַ֣ף יְהוָ֣ה בְּעַמּ֑וֹ וַ֝יְתָעֵ֗ב אֶת־נַחֲלָתֽוֹ׃
vayyichar-af ADONAI be'ammo vayta'ev et-nachalato
Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against His people, And He abhorred His inheritance.

pe'amim rabbot yatzilem vehemma yamru va'atzatam vayyamokku ba'avonam
Many times did He deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And sank low through their iniquity.
