[1] Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings.

[2] Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works.

[3] Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

[4] Seek ye Jehovah 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 ones.

[7] He is Jehovah 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] The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,

[10] And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, 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 sojourners in it.

[13] And they went about from nation to nation, 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 ones, And do my prophets no harm.

[16] And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.

[17] He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:

[18] His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in chains of iron,

[19] Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.

[20] The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, 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 elders 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 adversaries.

[25] He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.

[26] He sent Moses his servant, And Aaron whom he had chosen.

[27] They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

[28] He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.

[29] He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.

[30] Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.

[31] He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders.

[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 borders.

[34] He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,

[35] And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.

[36] He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.

[37] And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.

[38] Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

[39] He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.

[40] They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

[41] He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places like a river.

[42] For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham his servant.

[43] And he brought forth his people with joy, And his chosen with singing.

[44] And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:

[45] That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah.
