God

They craved intensely in the wilderness and tested God in the desert.

So He granted their request, but sent a wasting disease upon them.

In the camp they envied Moses, as well as Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.

They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,

So He said He would destroy them— had not Moses His chosen one stood before Him in the breach to divert His wrath from destroying them.

They despised the pleasant land; they did not believe His promise.

They grumbled in their tents and did not listen to the voice of the LORD.

So He raised His hand and swore to cast them down in the wilderness,

So they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds, and a plague broke out among them.

At the waters of Meribah they angered the LORD, and trouble came to Moses because of them.

They did not destroy the peoples as the LORD had commanded them,

So the anger of the LORD burned against His people, and He abhorred His own inheritance.

He delivered them into the hand of the nations, and those who hated them ruled over them.

Many times He rescued them, but they were bent on rebellion and sank down in their iniquity.

Nevertheless He heard their cry; He took note of their distress.

And He remembered His covenant with them, and relented by the abundance of His loving devotion.

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, that we may glory in Your praise.

Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Let all the people say, “Amen!” Hallelujah!

Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom He has redeemed from the hand of the enemy

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, and He delivered them from their distress.

He led them on a straight path to reach a city where they could live.

Let them give thanks to the LORD for His loving devotion and His wonders to the sons of men.

For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.
