Indeed, I (A)brought you up from the land of Egypt,
I (B)redeemed you from the house of slavery,
And I sent before you (C)Moses, Aaron, and (D)Miriam.
My people, remember now
What (E)Balak king of Moab planned
And what Balaam son of Beor answered him,
And what happened from (F)Shittim to (G)Gilgal,
[a]So that you might know the (H)righteous acts of the Lord.”

And bow myself before the God on high?
Shall I come to Him with (J)burnt offerings,
With yearling calves?
