📚✭Oh, give thanks✭ to the LORD. Call✭ on his name.
Make his deeds known✭ among
the people.
2 📚Sing to him, sing✭ psalms
to him.
Talk✭ of all his wonderful works.
3 📚Glory in his holy name.
May the heart of those
who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 📚Seek the LORD,
and his strength.
Seek his face always.
5 📚✭Remember his marvellous
works that he has done,
his wonders and the judgments
of his mouth,
6 📚O you offspring of his servant
Abraham,
you children of Jacob
his chosen one.
7 📚✭He is the LORD
our God.
His judgments are
in all the earth.
8 📚✭He remembers his covenant
forever,
the word which
he commanded,
for a thousand generations,
9 📚The covenant
he made with Abraham,
and his oath to Isaac.
10 📚And he confirmed it
to Jacob as a law,
to Israel as an everlasting
covenant,
11 📚✭Saying, “To you I will give
the land of Canaan,
the portion of your inheritance”,
12 📚✭When they were only
a few men in number,
yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
13 When they went from one
nation to another,
from one kingdom to
another people,
14 📚✭He did not allow anyone
to wrong them;
yes, he rebuked kings
for their sakes,
15 📚Saying, “Do not touch
my anointed,
and do my prophets no harm”.
16 📚✭Moreover, he summoned
a famine to the land.
He destroyed the whole supply
of bread.
17 📚He sent a man before them,
Joseph,
who was sold as a servant,
18 📚Whose feet they hurt
with fetters.
He was put in irons,
19 📚Until the time that his word
came✭.
The word of the LORD tested
him✭.
20 📚The king sent and released
him;
the ruler of the people sent
and let him go free.
21 📚He made him master of his
house,
and ruler of all his possessions,
22 📚To bind his princes
at his pleasure,
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23 📚Israel also came into Egypt,
and Jacob stayed in the land
of Ham.
24 📚And the LORD increased
his people greatly,
and made them stronger than
their enemies.
25 📚✭He turned their hearts to hate
his people,
to deal craftily with his servants.
26 📚He sent Moses his servant,
and Aaron whom
he had chosen.
27 📚They showed his signs
among them,
and wonders in the land
of Ham.
28 📚✭He sent darkness, and made
it dark;
and they did not rebel against
his word.
29 📚He turned their waters
into blood,
and killed their fish.
30 📚Their land brought forth
frogs in abundance,
in the rooms of their kings.
31 📚He spoke, and various kinds
of flies came,
and lice inside
all their borders.
32 📚He gave them hail for rain,
and flaming fire
in their land.
33 📚He also struck their vines
and their fig trees,
and broke down the trees
inside their borders.
34 📚He spoke, and the locusts
came,
and caterpillars without number,
35 And they ate up all the plants
in their land,
and devoured the fruit
of their ground.
36 📚He also struck all the firstborn
in their land,
the first of all their strength.
37 📚He also brought the people
out with silver and gold,
and not one feeble person
was among
their tribes.
38 📚Egypt was glad when they
departed,
for the fear of them had fallen
on them.
39 📚He spread a cloud as a
covering,
and fire to give light in the night.
40 📚The people asked,
and he brought quail,
and satisfied them with the bread
of heaven.
41 📚He opened the rock, and the
waters gushed out.
They ran in the dry places like
a river.
42 📚✭For he remembered his holy
promise,
and his servant Abraham.
43 📚And he brought out his people
with joy,
and his chosen with
gladness,
44 📚And gave them the lands
of the nations;
and they inherited the labour
of the peoples,
45 📚✭That they might observe
his statutes,
and keep his laws.
Praise the LORD✭!
