Praise Hashem!
O give thanks unto Hashem; for He is tov;
for His chesed endureth l'olam.Psa 118:1
Who can speak of the gevurot (mighty acts) of Hashem?
Who can show forth all His tehillah (praise)?
Ashrei (happy, blessed) are they who are shomrei mishpat,
and he that doeth tzedakah at all times.Psa 37:37
Remember me, Hashem, with the favor that Thou bearest unto Thy people;
O visit me with Thy Yeshu'ah (salvation);Neh 5:19
That I may see the good of Bechireicha (Thy chosen ones),
that I may rejoice in the simchah of Thy nation,
that I may glory with Thine nachalah (the people of Thy inheritance).Psa 2:8
We have sinned with Avoteinu,
we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.Dan 9:5
Avoteinu had no seichal concerning Thy nifla'ot (wonders) in Mitzrayim;
they remembered not the multitude of Thy mercies
but provoked Him at the yam, even at the Yam Suf.Exo 14:11
Nevertheless He saved them for the sake of Shmo,
that He might make His gevu'rot (mighty power) to be known.
He rebuked the Yam Suf also, and it dried up;
so He led them through the tehomot, as through the midbar.Exo 14:21; Psa 78:13
And He saved them from the yad of him that hated them,
and He acted to make the go'el redemption from the yad of the oyev (enemy).Luk 1:71
And the mayim covered their enemies;
there was not echad (one) of them left surviving.Exo 14:28
Then believed they in His Devarim;
they sang His tehillah.
Then they hurried, they forgot His ma'asim;
they waited not for His etzah (counsel, advice, wisdom);Jer 2:32
But lusted exceedingly in the midbar,
and tempted G-d in the desert.Num 11:33
And He gave them their she'elah (request);
but sent leanness into their nefesh.Jas 4:3
They envied Moshe also in the machaneh,
and Aharon the kadosh Hashem (Aharon the holy one of Hashem).Num 16:2
Eretz opened and swallowed up Datan
and covered over the Adat Aviram (the company of Aviram).Num 16:31; Deu 11:6
And an eish was kindled in their edah (assembly);
the flame burned up the resha'im.
They made an egel (a calf) in Chorev,
and worshiped a massekhah (molden image).Exo 32:4
Thus they exchanged their kavod
for a tavnit shor (likeness of an ox) that eateth esev (grass).Rom 1:23
They forgot G-d their Moshi'a,
Who had done gedolot in Mitzrayim;
Nifla'ot (wondrous works) in Eretz Cham,
and nora'ot (awesome things) by the Yam Suf.
Therefore He said that He would destroy them,
had not Moshe His bechir (chosen one)
stood before Him in the peretz (breach),
to turn away His wrath, lest He should destroy them.Exo 32:11
Then they despised the eretz chemdah (desirable land);
they believed not His Devar;Num 14:2
But murmured in their ohalim,
and paid heed not unto the kol (voice) of Hashem.Deu 1:27
Therefore106:26 in oath He lifted up His yad against them,
that He would overthrow them in the midbar;Num 14:29
To make their zera fall also among the Goyim,
and to scatter them among the aratzot (lands).
They joined themselves also unto Ba'al-Pe'or,
and ate the zivkhei mesim (sacrifices offered to the dead).Num 25:3
Thus they provoked Him to anger with their inventions;
and the magefah (plague) broke out among them.
Then stood up Pinchas, and interposed;
and so the magefah (plague) was halted.Num 25:7
And that was counted unto him for tzedakah
l'dor vador ad olam.Num 25:13
They angered Him also at the waters of Merivah,
so that it went ill with Moshe on their account;Num 20:3
Because they provoked his ruach
and he106:33 Moshe spoke unadvisedly with his sfatayim (lips).
They did not destroy the amim (peoples),
as Hashem commanded them;Deu 7:2
But they mingled with the Goyim,
and learned their ma'asim (works, customs).Hos 7:8
And they served their atzabim (idols);
which were a mokesh (snare) unto them.Exo 23:33; Deu 7:16
And they sacrificed their banim
and their banot unto shedim (demons),Lev 18:21; Deu 12:31; 2Ki 21:6
And they shed dahm naki (innocent blood),
even the dahm of their banim and of their banot,
whom they sacrificed unto the atzabei Kena'an (idols of Canaan);
and HaAretz was polluted with blood-guilt.
Thus they made themselves tameh with their own ma'asim,
and went a-whoring with their own inventions.
Therefore was the wrath of Hashem kindled against His people,
insomuch that He abhorred His own nachalah.Jdg 2:14; Jdg 3:8
And He gave them into the yad Goyim;
and they that hated them ruled over them.
Their oyevim also oppressed them,
and they were brought into subjection under their yad.
Many times did He deliver them;
but they provoked Him with their etzah (counsel),
and so perished in their avon (iniquity).
Nevertheless He regarded their affliction,
when He heard their rinnah (cry of grief);
And He remembered for their sake His Brit,
and relented according to the multitude of His chasadim (lovingkindnesses).Deu 30:1
He made them also to be pitied with rachamim
by all those that carried them away as captives.
Hoshieini (save us), Hashem Eloheinu,
and gather us from among the Goyim,
to give thanks unto Thy Shem Kadosh,
and to glory in Thy tehillah (praise).1Ch 16:35; Isa 11:12
Baruch Hashem Elohei Yisroel
min haOlam v'ad haOlam;
and let kol HaAm say, Omein.
