-
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
-
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
-
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
-
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
-
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
-
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
-
7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
-
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
-
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
-
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
-
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
-
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
-
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
-
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
-
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
-
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
-
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
-
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
-
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
-
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
-
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
-
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
-
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
-
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
-
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
-
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
-
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
-
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
-
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
-
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
-
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
-
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
-
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
-
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
-
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
-
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
-
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
-
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
-
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
-
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
-
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
-
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
-
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
-
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
-
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.

- 1 Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.
- 2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.
- 3 Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.
- 4 Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.
- 5 Remember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments uttered by His mouth,
- 6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
- 7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
- 8 He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,
- 9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.
- 10 Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
- 11 Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,”
- 12 When they were only a few men in number, Very few, and strangers in it.
- 13 And they wandered about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
- 14 He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes:
- 15 “Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”
- 16 And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
- 17 He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
- 18 They afflicted his feet with fetters, He himself was laid in irons;
- 19 Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him.
- 20 The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
- 21 He made him lord of his house And ruler over all his possessions,
- 22 To imprison his princes at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.
- 23 Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
- 24 And He caused His people to be very fruitful, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
- 25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants.
- 26 He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron, whom He had chosen.
- 27 They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.
- 28 He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words.
- 29 He turned their waters into blood And caused their fish to die.
- 30 Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.
- 31 He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies And gnats in all their territory.
- 32 He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.
- 33 He struck down their vines also and their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their territory.
- 34 He spoke, and locusts came, And young locusts, even without number,
- 35 And ate up all vegetation in their land, And ate up the fruit of their ground.
- 36 He also struck down all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor.
- 37 Then He brought them out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.
- 38 Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
- 39 He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to illumine by night.
- 40 They asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
- 41 He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.
- 42 For He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant;
- 43 And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.
- 44 He gave them also the lands of the nations, That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples' labor,
- 45 So that they might keep His statutes And observe His laws, Praise the LORD!
