✧1O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. ✧2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. ✧3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. ✧4Seek the LORD, 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. ✧7He [is] the LORD 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. ✧9Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

✧10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] 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 strangers in it.
✧13When they went from one nation to another, 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, and do my prophets no harm.
✧16Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
✧17He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:
✧18Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
✧19Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
✧20The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, 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 senators 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 enemies.
✧25He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
✧26He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
✧27They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
✧28He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
✧29He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
✧30Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
✧31He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their coasts.
✧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 coasts.
✧34He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
✧35And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
✧36He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
✧37He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.
✧38Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
✧39He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
✧40[The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
✧41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
✧42For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant.
✧43And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness:
✧44And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
✧45That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
