Psalms 49
Ready to read
1
The LORD spread a cloud as a covering [by day], And a fire to illumine the night.
2
The Israelites asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
3
He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.
4
For He remembered His holy word To Abraham His servant;
5
He brought out His people with joy, And His chosen ones with a joyful shout,
6
He gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan], So that they would possess the fruits of those peoples' labor,
7
So that they might observe His precepts And keep His laws [obediently accepting and honoring and valuing them]. Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!)
8
Praise the LORD! (Hallelujah!) Oh give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; For His mercy and lovingkindness endure forever!
9
Who can put into words the mighty deeds of the LORD? Or who can proclaim all His praise [that is due Him]?
10
Blessed are those who observe justice [by honoring God's precepts], Who practice righteousness at all times.
11
Remember me, O LORD, when You favor Your people. Visit me with Your salvation [when You rescue them],
12
That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance.
13
We have sinned like our fathers; We have committed iniquity, we have behaved wickedly.
14
Our fathers in Egypt did not understand nor appreciate Your miracles; They did not remember the abundance of Your mercies nor imprint Your lovingkindnesses on their hearts, But they were rebellious at the sea, at the[1] Red Sea.
15
Nevertheless He saved them for His name's sake, That He might make His [supreme] power known.
16
He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; And He led them through the depths as through a pasture.
17
So He saved them from the hand of the one that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the [Egyptian] enemy.
18
And the waters covered their adversaries; Not one of them was left.
19
Then Israel believed in [the validity of] His words; They sang His praise.
20
But they quickly forgot His works; They did not [patiently] wait for His counsel and purpose [to be revealed regarding them],
