1-3. Hallelujah!Thank God! And why?Because he’s good, because his love lasts.But who on earth can do it—declaim God’s mighty acts, broadcast all his praises?You’re one happy man when you do what’s right,one happy woman when you form the habit of justice.
13-18. But it wasn’t long before they forgot the whole thing,wouldn’t wait to be told what to do.They only cared about pleasing themselves in that desert,provoked God with their insistent demands.He gave them exactly what they asked for—but along with it they got an empty heart.One day in camp some grew jealous of Moses,also of Aaron, holy priest of God.The ground opened and swallowed Dathan,then buried Abiram’s gang.Fire flared against that rebel crewand torched them to a cinder.
