⁴ Remember us,^[a] O Lord, when you show favor to your people;
    help us^[b] when you deliver them,^(D)
5 that we may see the prosperity of your chosen ones,
    that we may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
    that we may glory in your heritage.^(E)

¹³ But they soon forgot his works;
    they did not wait for his counsel.^(A)
14 But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness

    but sent a wasting disease among them.^(C)

    and of Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.^(D)

    and covered the faction of Abiram.^(E)
18 Fire also broke out in their company;
    the flame burned up the wicked.^(F)

¹⁹ They made a calf at Horeb
    and worshiped a cast image.^(G)
20 They exchanged the glory of God^[a]
    for the image of an ox that eats grass.^(H)
21 They forgot God, their Savior,
    who had done great things in Egypt,^(I)
22 wondrous works in the land of Ham,
    and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.^[b](J)
23 Therefore he said he would destroy them—
    had not Moses, his chosen one,

    to turn away his wrath from destroying them.^(K)

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

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