^(B)“Let Your ^[a]Thummim and Your Urim be with Your holy one,
^(C)Whom You tested at Massah,
And with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah,

^32 (A)They angered Him also at the waters of ^[a]strife,
^(B)So that it went ill with Moses on account of them;
^33 (C)Because they rebelled against His Spirit,
So that he spoke rashly with his lips.

^34 (D)They did not destroy the peoples,
^(E)Concerning whom the Lord had commanded them,
^35 (F)But they mingled with the Gentiles
And learned their works;
^36 (G)They served their idols,
^(H)Which became a snare to them.
^37 (I)They even sacrificed their sons
And their daughters to ^(J)demons,
³⁸ And shed innocent blood,
The blood of their sons and daughters,
Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan;
And ^(K)the land was polluted with blood.
³⁹ Thus they ^[b]were ^(L)defiled by their own works,
And ^(M)played^[c] the harlot by their own deeds.

⁴⁰ Therefore ^(N)the wrath of the Lord was kindled against His people,
So that He abhorred ^(O)His own inheritance.
⁴¹ And ^(P)He gave them into the hand of the Gentiles,
And those who hated them ruled over them.
⁴² Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were brought into subjection under their hand.
^43 (Q)Many times He delivered them;
But they rebelled in their counsel,
And were brought low for their iniquity.

⁴⁴ Nevertheless He regarded their affliction,
When ^(R)He heard their cry;
^45 (S)And for their sake He remembered His covenant,
And ^(T)relented ^(U)according to the multitude of His mercies.
^46 (V)He also made them to be pitied
By all those who carried them away captive.

^47 (W)Save us, O Lord our God,
And gather us from among the Gentiles,
To give thanks to Your holy name,
To triumph in Your praise.

^48 (X)Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
From everlasting to everlasting!
And let all the people say, “Amen!”

^[d]Praise the Lord!
