The one who slaughters a bull also strikes down a man; ¹  the one who sacrifices a lamb also breaks a dog’s neck; ²  the one who presents an offering includes pig’s blood with it; ³  the one who offers incense also praises an idol. ⁴  They have decided to behave this way; ⁵  they enjoy these disgusting practices. ⁶ 

then ¹  the man must bring his wife to the priest, and he must bring the offering required for her, one tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he must not pour olive oil on it or put frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of suspicion, ²  a grain offering for remembering, ³  for bringing ⁴  iniquity to remembrance.

ו (Vav) He destroyed his temple ¹  as if it were a vineyard; ²  he destroyed his appointed meeting place. The Lord has made those in Zion forget both the festivals and the Sabbaths. ³  In his fierce anger ⁴  he has spurned ⁵  both king and priest.

Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “Today I recall my failures. ¹ 

You have forgotten ¹  the Rock who fathered you, and put out of mind the God who gave you birth.

You must never forget the agreement I made with you, and you must not worship other gods.

For you ¹  will forget your trouble; ²  you will remember it like water that ³  has flowed away.

For no one remembers you in the realm of death, ¹  In Sheol who gives you thanks? ² 

For the one who takes revenge against murderers took notice of the oppressed; ¹  he did not overlook ²  their cry for help ³ 

The wicked are turned back and sent to Sheol; ¹  this is the destiny of ²  all the nations that ignore ³  God,

Sing to the Lord, you faithful followers ¹  of his; give thanks to his holy name. ² 

I am obligated to fulfill the vows I made to you, O God; ¹  I will give you the thank-offerings you deserve, ² 

I said, “I will remember God while I groan; I will think about him while my strength leaves me.” ¹  (Selah)

I said, “During the night I will remember the song I once sang; I will think very carefully.” I tried to make sense of what was happening. ¹ 

Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?”

I will remember the works of the Lord. Yes, I will remember the amazing things you did long ago! ¹ 

They forgot what he had done, ¹  the amazing things he had shown them.

You cause my friends and neighbors to keep their distance; ¹  those who know me leave me alone in the darkness. ² 

So they proclaim that the Lord, my protector, is just and never unfair. ¹ 

Praise the Lord, O my soul! Do not forget all his kind deeds! ¹
