✧1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings. ✧2Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works. ✧3Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. ✧4Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore. ✧5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, ✧6O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. ✧7He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth. ✧8He 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,

✧10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
✧11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
✧12When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
✧13And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
✧14He 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.
✧16And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.
✧17He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:
✧18His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in [chains of] iron,
✧19Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.
✧20The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
✧21He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;
✧22To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.
✧23Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
✧24And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
✧25He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.
✧26He sent Moses his servant, [And] Aaron whom he had chosen.
✧27They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
✧28He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.
✧29He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.
✧30Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.
✧31He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders.
✧32He gave them hail for rain, [And] flaming fire in their land.
✧33He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders.
✧34He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,
✧35And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
✧36He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.
✧37And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.
✧38Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
✧39He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.
✧40They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
✧41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places [like] a river.
✧42For he remembered his holy word, [And] Abraham his servant.
✧43And he brought forth his people with joy, [And] his chosen with singing.
✧44And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
✧45That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah.
