“Give to Levi^{[a] (B)}your Thummim,
    and your Urim to your godly one,
^(C)whom you tested at Massah,
    with whom you quarreled at the waters of Meribah;

³² They ^(A)angered him at the waters of Meribah,
    and it went ill with Moses on their account,
³³ for they ^(B)made his spirit bitter,^[a]
    and he ^(C)spoke rashly with his lips.

³⁴ They did not ^(D)destroy the peoples,
    ^(E)as the Lord commanded them,
³⁵ but they ^(F)mixed with the nations
    and learned to do as they did.
³⁶ They served their idols,
    which became ^(G)a snare to them.
³⁷ They ^(H)sacrificed their sons
    and their daughters to ^(I)the demons;
³⁸ they poured out innocent blood,
    the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
    and the land was ^(J)polluted with blood.
³⁹ Thus they ^(K)became unclean by their acts,
    and ^(L)played the whore in their deeds.

⁴⁰ Then ^(M)the anger of the Lord was kindled against ^(N)his people,
    and he abhorred his ^(O)heritage;
⁴¹ he ^(P)gave them into the hand of the nations,
    so that those who hated them ruled over them.
⁴² Their enemies ^(Q)oppressed them,
    and they were brought into subjection under their power.
^43 (R)Many times he delivered them,
    but they were rebellious in their ^(S)purposes
    and were ^(T)brought low through their iniquity.

⁴⁴ Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
    when he ^(U)heard their cry.
⁴⁵ For their sake he ^(V)remembered his covenant,
    and ^(W)relented according to ^(X)the abundance of his steadfast love.
⁴⁶ He caused them to be ^(Y)pitied
    by all those who held them captive.

^47 (Z)Save us, O Lord our God,
    and ^(AA)gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
    and glory in your praise.

^48 (AB)Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting!
^(AC)And let all the people say, “Amen!”
    ^(AD)Praise the Lord!
