1 G ive ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.

2 S ing ye to Him -- sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.

3 B oast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.

4 S eek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

5 R emember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

6 O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

7 H e Jehovah our God, In all the earth His judgments.

8 H e hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

9 T hat He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

10 A nd doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,

11 S aying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'

12 I n their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.

13 A nd they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.

14 H e hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.

15 ` Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'

16 A nd He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.

17 H e hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.

18 T hey have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,

19 T ill the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.

20 T he king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.

21 H e hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.

22 T o bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.

23 A nd Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.

24 A nd He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.

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

26 H e hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.

27 T hey have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

28 H e hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.

29 H e hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.

30 T eemed hath their land frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.

31 H e hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.

32 H e hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire in their land.

33 A nd He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.

34 H e hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm -- innumerable,

35 A nd it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.

36 A nd He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,

37 A nd bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.

38 R ejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.

39 H e hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.

40 T hey have asked, and He bringeth quails, And bread of heaven satisfieth them.

41 H e hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places -- a river.

42 F or He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,

43 A nd He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.

44 A nd He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,

45 T hat they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
