| 1 | Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples. |
| 2 | Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works. |
| 3 | Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. |
| 4 | Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually; |
| 5 | Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth: |
| 6 | Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones. |
| 7 | He, Jehovah, is our God; his judgments are in all the earth. |
| 8 | He is ever mindful of his covenant,—the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, -- |
| 9 | Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; |
| 10 | And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto 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 a few men in number, of small account, and strangers in it. |
| 13 | And they went from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. |
| 14 | He suffered no man to oppress them, and 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 broke the whole staff of bread. |
| 17 | He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman. |
| 18 | They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons; |
| 19 | Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him. |
| 20 | The king sent and loosed him—the ruler of peoples— and let him go free. |
| 21 | He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions: |
| 22 | To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom. |
| 23 | And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. |
| 24 | And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors. |
| 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 his signs among them, and miracles 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 caused their fish to die. |
| 30 | Their land swarmed with frogs,—in the chambers of their kings. |
| 31 | He spoke, and there came dog-flies, [and] gnats in all their borders. |
| 32 | He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land; |
| 33 | And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders. |
| 34 | He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number; |
| 35 | And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground. |
| 36 | And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour. |
| 37 | And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes. |
| 38 | Egypt rejoiced at their departure; 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 forth; 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 gladness, his chosen with rejoicing; |
| 44 | And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples: |
| 45 | That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah! |
