1 - Give thanks to The LORD! Call on his name!Make his doings known among the peoples.

2 - Sing to him, sing praises to him!Tell of all his marvelous works.

3 - Glory in his holy name.Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

4 - Seek the LORD and his strength.Seek his face forever more.

5 - Remember his marvelous works that he has done;his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

6 - you offspring of Abraham, his servant,you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

7 - He is The LORD, our God.His judgments are in all the earth.

8 - He has remembered his covenant forever,the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

9 - the covenant which he made with Abraham,his oath to Isaac,

10 - and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute;to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

11 - saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan,the lot of your inheritance";

12 - when they were but a few men in number,yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

13 - They went about from nation to nation,from one kingdom to another people.

14 - He allowed no one to do them wrong.Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

15 - "Don't touch my anointed ones!Do my prophets no harm!"

16 - He called for a famine on the land.He destroyed the food supplies.

17 - He sent a man before them.Joseph was sold for a slave.

18 - They bruised his feet with shackles.His neck was locked in irons,

19 - until the time that his word happened,and The LORD's word proved him true.

20 - The king sent and freed him;even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

21 - He made him lord of his house,and ruler of all of his possessions;

22 - to discipline his princes at his pleasure,and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 - Israel also came into Egypt.Jacob lived in the land of Ham.

24 - He increased his people greatly,and made them stronger than their adversaries.

25 - He turned their heart to hate his people,to conspire against his servants.

26 - He sent Moses, his servant,and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

27 - They performed miracles among them,and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 - He sent darkness, and made it dark.They didn't rebel against his words.

29 - He turned their waters into blood,and killed their fish.

30 - Their land swarmed with frogs,even in the rooms of their kings.

31 - He spoke, and swarms of flies came,and lice in all their borders.

32 - He gave them hail for rain,with lightning in their land.

33 - He struck their vines and also their fig trees,and shattered the trees of their country.

34 - He spoke, and the locusts came,and the grasshoppers, without number,

35 - ate up every plant in their land;and ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 - He struck also all the firstborn in their land,the first fruits of all their manhood.

37 - He brought them out with silver and gold.There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

38 - Egypt was glad when they departed,for the fear of them had fallen on them.

39 - He spread a cloud for a covering,fire to give light in the night.

40 - They asked, and he brought quails,and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

41 - He opened the rock, and waters gushed out.They ran as a river in the dry places.

42 - For he remembered his holy word,and Abraham, his servant.

43 - He brought his people out with joy,his chosen with singing.

44 - He gave them the lands of the nations.They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

45 - that they might keep his statutes,and observe his laws.Praise Yah!
