O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. |
|
Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. |
|
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. |
|
Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. |
|
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; |
|
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. |
|
He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. |
|
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. |
|
Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; |
|
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: |
|
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: |
|
When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. |
|
When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; |
|
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; |
|
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. |
|
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread. |
|
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: |
|
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: |
|
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. |
|
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. |
|
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: |
|
To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. |
|
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. |
|
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. |
|
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtly with his servants. |
|
He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen. |
|
They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. |
|
He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. |
|
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish. |
|
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. |
|
He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts. |
|
He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. |
|
He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts. |
|
He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number, |
|
And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. |
|
He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. |
|
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. |
|
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. |
|
He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. |
|
The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. |
|
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. |
|
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. |
|
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: |
|
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people; |
|
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. |
