[1] Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.

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

[3] Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.

[4] Seek the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.

[5] Remember 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] 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, And His oath to Isaac.

[10] Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

[11] Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,”

[12] When they were only a few men in number, Very few, and strangers in it.

[13] And they wandered about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.

[14] He 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] And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.

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

[18] They afflicted his feet with fetters, He himself was laid in irons;

[19] Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him.

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

[21] He made him lord of his house And ruler over all his possessions,

[22] To imprison his princes at will, That he might teach his elders wisdom.

[23] Israel also came into Egypt; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

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

[25] He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants.

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

[27] They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.

[28] He sent darkness and made it dark; And they did not rebel against His words.

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

[30] Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings.

[31] He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies And gnats in all their territory.

[32] He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.

[33] He struck down their vines also and their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their territory.

[34] He spoke, and locusts came, And young locusts, even without number,

[35] And ate up all vegetation in their land, And ate up the fruit of their ground.

[36] He also struck down all the firstborn in their land, The first fruits of all their vigor.

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

[38] Egypt was glad when they departed, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.

[39] He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to illumine by night.

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

[41] He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river.

[42] For He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant;

[43] And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with a joyful shout.

[44] He gave them also the lands of the nations, That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples' labor,

[45] So that they might keep His statutes And observe His laws, Praise the LORD!
