1 Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
3 Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
4 Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
5 Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 you descendants of Abraham his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
[ye] seed of Abraam, his servants, [ye] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He keeps in mind his covenant forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation:
9 He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham and his oath to Isaac.
which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
10 This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
11 He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
saying To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
12 He said this when they were only few in number, so very few, and were strangers in the land.
when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 They went from nation to nation and from one kingdom to another.
And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
14 He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he rebuked kings for their sakes.
He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
15 He said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
16 He called for a famine on the land; he cut off the whole supply of bread.

17 He sent a man ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a servant.
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 His feet were bound by shackles; on his neck was put an iron collar,
They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
19 until what he had said came to pass. The word of Yahweh tested him.
until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
20 The king sent servants to release him; the ruler of the people set him free.
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
21 He put him in charge of his house as ruler of all his possessions
He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
22 to instruct his princes as he wished and to teach his elders wisdom.
to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob lived for a time in the land of Ham.
Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
24 Yahweh made his people fruitful, and made them stronger than their enemies.
And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He caused their enemies to hate his people, to mistreat his servants.
And 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.
He sent fort Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They performed his signs among the Egyptians, his wonders in the land of Ham.
He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
28 He sent darkness and made that land dark, but its people did not obey his commands.
He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
29 He turned their water into blood and killed their fish.
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their rulers.
Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats came throughout their country.
He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
32 He turned their rain into hail, with fire flaming on their land.
He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.
33 He destroyed their vines and fig trees; he broke the trees of their country.
And he smote their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
34 He spoke, and the locusts came, so many locusts.
He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
35 The locusts ate up all of the vegetation in their land; They ate up all the crops of the ground.
and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.
36 He killed every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.
He smote also every first-born of their land, the first-fruits of all their labour.
37 He brought the Israelites out with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled on the way.
And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they went away, for the Egyptians were afraid of them.
Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering and made a fire to light up the night.
He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.
40 The Israelites asked for food, and he brought quail and satisfied them with bread from heaven.
They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He split the rock, and waters gushed from it; they flowed in the wilderness like a river.
He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places.
42 For he called to mind his holy promise that he made to Abraham his servant.
For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.
43 He led his people out with joy, his chosen with shouts of triumph.
And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;
44 He gave them the lands of the nations; they took possession of the wealth of the peoples
and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;
45 so that they might keep his statutes and obey his laws. Praise Yahweh.
that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
