1 O h give thanks to the Lord, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.

2 S ing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders.

3 G lory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.

4 S eek the Lord and His strength; Seek His face continually.

5 R emember His wonders which He has done, His marvels and the judgments uttered by His mouth,

6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!

7 H e is the Lord our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

8 H e has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

9 T he covenant which He made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.

10 T hen He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11 S aying, “ To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,”

12 W hen they were only a few men in number, Very few, and strangers in it.

13 A nd they wandered about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.

14 H e permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes:

15 “ Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.”

16 A nd He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

17 H e sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18 T hey afflicted his feet with fetters, He himself was laid in irons;

19 U ntil the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord tested him.

20 T he king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples, and set him free.

21 H e made him lord of his house And ruler over all his possessions,

22 T o imprison his princes at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.

23 I srael also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 A nd He caused His people to be very fruitful, And made them stronger than their adversaries.

25 H e turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants.

26 H e sent Moses His servant, And Aaron, whom He had chosen.

27 T hey performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.

28 H e sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words.

29 H e turned their waters into blood And caused their fish to die.

30 T heir land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.

31 H e spoke, and there came a swarm of flies And gnats in all their territory.

32 H e gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.

33 H e struck down their vines also and their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their territory.

34 H e spoke, and locusts came, And young locusts, even without number,

35 A nd ate up all vegetation in their land, And ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 H e also struck down all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor.

37 T hen He brought them out with silver and gold, And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.

38 E gypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.

39 H e spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to illumine by night.

40 T hey asked, and He brought quail, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 H e opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.

42 F or He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant;

43 A nd He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.

44 H e gave them also the lands of the nations, That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

45 S o that they might keep His statutes And observe His laws, Praise the Lord!
