Listen to this chapter • 4:22

[1] Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

[2] Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

[3] Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

[4] Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

[5] Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

[6] O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

[7] He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.

[8] He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

[9] the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

[10] He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

[11] “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”

[12] When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

[13] they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

[14] He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

[15] “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

[16] He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.

[17] He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.

[18] They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,

[19] until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.

[20] The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.

[21] He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,

[22] to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

[23] Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

[24] And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,

[25] whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.

[26] He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

[27] They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

[28] He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.

[29] He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.

[30] Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.

[31] He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.

[32] He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.

[33] He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.

[34] He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.

[35] They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.

[36] Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.

[37] He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.

[38] Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

[39] He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

[40] They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

[41] He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

[42] For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.

[43] He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.

[44] He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,

[45] that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
