[1] Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name; make known his doings among the peoples.

[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 the LORD.

[4] Seek ye the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore.

[5] Remember his marvelous 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 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] 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 the LORD 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 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 adversaries.

[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 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 cankerworm, 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 firstborn 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 labour of the peoples in possession:

[45] That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
