- 30Then stood up Phinehas, and wrought judgment,
- And so the plague was stayed.
- 31And that was counted unto him for righteousness,
- Unto all generations for ever.
- 32They angered Him also at the waters of Meribah,
- And it went ill with Moses because of them;
- 33For they embittered his spirit,
- And he spoke rashly with his lips.
- 34They did not destroy the peoples,
- As the Lord commanded them;
- 35But mingled themselves with the nations,
- And learned their works;
- 36And they served their idols,
- Which became a snare unto them;
- 37Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,
- 38And 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.
- 39Thus were they defiled with their works,
- And went astray in their doings.
- 40Therefore was the wrath of the Lord kindled against His people,
- And He abhorred His inheritance.
- 41And He gave them into the hand of the nations;
- And they that hated them ruled over them.
- 42Their enemies also oppressed them,
- And they were subdued under their hand.
- 43Many times did He deliver them;
- But they were rebellious in their counsel,
- And sank low through their iniquity.
- 44Nevertheless He looked upon their distress,
- When He heard their cry;
- 45And He remembered for them His covenant,
- And repented according to the multitude of His mercies.
- 46He made them also to be pitied
- Of all those that carried them captive.
- 47Save us, O Lord our God,
- And gather us from among the nations,
- That we may give thanks unto Thy holy name,
- That we may triumph in Thy praise.
- 48Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
- From everlasting even to everlasting,
- And let all the people say: 'Amen.'
- Hallelujah.

- 107 'O give thanks unto the Lord, for He is good,
- For His mercy endureth for ever.'
- 2So let the redeemed of the Lord say,
- Whom He hath redeemed from the hand of the adversary;
- 3And gathered them out of the lands,
- From the east and from the west,
- From the north and from the sea.
- 4They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way;
- They found no city of habitation.
- 5Hungry and thirsty,
- Their soul fainted in them.
- 6Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble,
- And He delivered them out of their distresses.
- 7And He led them by a straight way,
