1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. |
|
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. |
|
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. |
|
4 Seek the LORD, 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. |
|
7 He is the LORD 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 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; |
|
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and 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 strangers in it. |
|
13 When they went from one nation to another, 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, and do my prophets no harm. |
|
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. |
|
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: |
|
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: |
|
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. |
|
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, 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 senators 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 enemies. |
|
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 shewed his signs among them, and wonders 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 slew their fish. |
|
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. |
|
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. |
|
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 coasts. |
|
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number, |
|
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. |
|
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. |
|
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. |
|
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. |
|
39 He 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. |
|
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. |
|
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. |
|
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: |
|
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; |
|
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. |
