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. |
