[1] Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.

[2] Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.

[3] Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

[4] Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

[5] Remember his marvelous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

[6] you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children 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, his oath to Isaac,

[10] and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

[11] saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”

[12] when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

[13] They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

[14] He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

[15] “Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”

[16] He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.

[17] He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.

[18] They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,

[19] until the time that his word happened, and the LORD’s word proved him true.

[20] The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

[21] He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions,

[22] to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

[23] Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham.

[24] He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.

[25] He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.

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

[27] They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

[28] He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words.

[29] He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.

[30] Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.

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

[32] He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.

[33] He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.

[34] He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number,

[35] ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.

[36] He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.

[37] He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

[38] Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.

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

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

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

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

[43] He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.

[44] He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

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