8But you were true to your name,
and you rescued them to prove
how mighty you are.
9
“Dry up!”
Then you led your people across
on land as dry as a desert.
10You saved all of them
11and drowned every one
of their enemies.
12
23You were angry and started
to destroy them,
but Moses, your chosen leader,
begged you not to do it.
24
29They did such terrible things
that you punished them
with a deadly disease.
30But Phinehas helped them,
and the sickness stopped.
31Now he will always
be highly honored.
32
they turned against you
and made you furious.
33Then Moses got into trouble
for speaking in anger.
34 Jg 2.1-3; 3.5,6. Our Lord, they disobeyed you
by refusing to destroy
the nations.
35Instead they were friendly
with those foreigners
and followed their customs.
36Then they fell into the trap
of worshiping idols.
37 2 K 17.17. They sacrificed their sons
and their daughters to demons
38 Nu 35.33,34. and to the gods of Canaan.
Then they poured out the blood
of these innocent children
and made the land filthy.
39By doing such gruesome things,
they also became filthy.
40 Jg 2.14-18. Finally, Lord, you were angry
and terribly disgusted
with your people.
41So you put them in the power
of nations that hated them.
42They were mistreated and abused
by their enemies,
43but you saved them
time after time.
They were determined to rebel,
and their sins caused
their downfall.
44You answered their prayers
when they were in trouble.
45You kept your agreement
and were so merciful
46that their enemies
had pity on them.
47 1 Ch 16.35,36. Save us, Lord God!
Bring us back
from among the nations.
Let us celebrate and shout
in praise of your holy name.
48 Lord God of Israel,
you deserve to be praised
forever and ever.
Let everyone say, “Amen!
Shout praises to the Lord!”
