O my people, what, have I done to you?
    How have I wearied you? Answer me!
For I brought you up from the land of Egypt,
    I redeemed you from the place of slavery,
and I sent as your leaders
    Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
My people, remember the plan
    that Balak, the king of Moab, devised,
    and what Balaam, the son of Beor, answered him.
Recall also your journey from Shittim[a] to Gilgal
    so that you may know the saving justice of the Lord.
