Oh agive thanks
to the LORD
, bcall
upon His name
; cMake
known
His deeds
among the peoples
.
Sing to Him, asing
praises
to Him; 1 bSpeak
of all
His 2wonders
.
1Glory in His holy
name
; Let the aheart
of those who seek
the LORD
be glad
.
Seek the LORD
and aHis strength
; bSeek
His face
continually
.
Remember His 1 awonders
which
He has done
, His marvels
and the bjudgments
2uttered by His mouth
,
O seed of aAbraham
, His servant
, O sons
of bJacob
, His cchosen
ones
!
He is the LORD our God
; His ajudgments
are in all
the earth
.
He has aremembered His covenant
forever
, The word
which He commanded
to a bthousand
generations
,
The acovenant which He made
with Abraham
, And His boath
to Isaac
.
Then He aconfirmed it to Jacob
for a statute
, To Israel
as an everlasting
covenant
,
Saying, " aTo you I will give
the land
of Canaan
As the 1 bportion
of your inheritance
,"
When they were only a afew men
in number
, Very few
, and bstrangers
in it.
And they wandered about from nation
to nation
, From one kingdom
to another
people
.
He apermitted no
man
to oppress
them, And He breproved
kings
for their sakes
:
" aDo not touch My anointed
ones
, And do
My prophets
no
harm
."
And He acalled for a famine
upon the land
; He bbroke
the whole
staff
of bread
.
He asent a man
before
them, Joseph
, who was bsold
as a slave
.
They afflicted his afeet
with fetters
, 1He himself
was laid
in irons
;
Until the time
that his aword
came
to pass
, The word
of the LORD
1 btested
him.
The aking sent
and released
him, The ruler
of peoples
, and set
him free
.
He amade him lord
of his house
And ruler
over all
his possessions
,
To 1imprison his princes
2 aat will
, That he might teach
his elders
wisdom
.
aIsrael also came
into Egypt
; Thus Jacob
bsojourned
in the land
of Ham
.
And He acaused His people to be very
fruitful
, And made
them stronger
than
their adversaries
.
He aturned their heart
to hate
His people
, To bdeal
craftily
with His servants
.
He asent Moses
His servant
, And bAaron
, whom
He had chosen
.
They 1 aperformed His wondrous
acts
among them, And miracles
in the land
of Ham
.
He asent darkness
and made
it dark
; And they did not brebel
against
His words
.
He aturned their waters
into blood
And caused their fish
to die
.
Their land swarmed
with afrogs
Even in the bchambers
of their kings
.
He spoke, and there came
a aswarm
of flies
And bgnats
in all
their territory
.
He 1gave them ahail
for rain
, And flaming
fire
in their land
.
He astruck down
their vines
also and their fig
trees
, And shattered
the trees
of their territory
.
He spoke, and alocusts
came
, And young
locusts
, even without
number
,
And ate up all
vegetation
in their land
, And ate
up the fruit
of their ground
.
He also astruck down
all
the firstborn
in their land
, The bfirst
fruits
of all
their vigor
.
Then He brought them out with asilver
and gold
, And among His tribes
there
was not one
who stumbled
.
Egypt was aglad
when they departed
, For the bdread
of them had fallen
upon them.
He spread a acloud
for a 1covering
, And bfire
to illumine
by night
.
1They aasked, and He brought
bquail
, And satisfied
them with the 2 cbread
of heaven
.
He opened the 1rock
and awater
flowed
out; 2It ran
in the dry
places
like a river
.
For He aremembered His holy
word
With Abraham
His servant
;
And He brought forth
His people
with joy
, His chosen
ones
with a joyful
ashout
.
He agave them also the lands
of the 1nations
, That they bmight take
possession
of the fruit of the peoples'
labor
,
So that they might akeep
His statutes
And observe
His laws
, 1Praise
2the LORD
!
