picture

1 G ive thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.

2 S ing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.

3 G lory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.

4 S eek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

5 R emember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

6 y ou offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

7 H e is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.

8 H e has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

9 t he covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,

10 a nd confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

11 s aying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance”;

12 w hen they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

13 T hey went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

14 H e allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,

15 Don’t touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”

16 H e called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.

17 H e sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.

18 T hey bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,

19 u ntil the time that his word happened, and Yahweh’s word proved him true.

20 T he king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

21 H e made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions;

22 t o discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 I srael also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham.

24 H e increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.

25 H e turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.

26 H e sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

27 T hey performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 H e sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words.

29 H e turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.

30 T heir land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.

31 H e spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.

32 H e gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.

33 H e struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.

34 H e spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number,

35 a te up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground.

36 H e struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.

37 H e brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

38 E gypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.

39 H e spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.

40 T hey asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

41 H e opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.

42 F or he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

43 H e brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.

44 H e gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,

45 t hat they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise Yah!
