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. Psalm 106 |
