1O give thanks unto the LORD! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the people. 2Sing to Him, sing praises unto Him; talk of all His wonderful works. 3Glory in His holy name; let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 4Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His face evermore. 5Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth, 6O you seed of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob His chosen. 7He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth. 8He has remembered His covenant forever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations; 9The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac; 10And He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, 11Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance," 12When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. 13When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, 14He allowed no man to do them wrong; yea, He reproved kings for their sakes, 15Saying, "Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm." 16Moreover He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread. 17He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant, 18Whose feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in iron, 19Until the time that his word came to pass, when the Word of the LORD tested him. 20The king sent and loosed him, even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. 21He made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions, 22To bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom. 23Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob resided in the land of Ham. 24And He increased His people greatly and made them stronger than their enemies. 25He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants. 26He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen. 27They showed His signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. 28He sent darkness and made it dark, and they rebelled not against His word. 29He turned their waters into blood and killed their fish. 30Their land swarmed with frogs in abundance, even in the chambers of their kings. 31He spoke, and there came swarms of flies and gnats in all their borders. 32He gave them hail for rain and flaming fire in their land. 33He struck their vines also and their fig trees, and broke the trees of their borders. 34He spoke, and locusts came, and caterpillars without number; 35And they ate up all the plants in their land, and ate the fruit of their ground. 36He also struck all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. 37He also brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. 38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon them. 39He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night. 40The people asked, and He brought quail, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river, 42For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant. 43And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen with singing, 44And gave them the lands of the nations; and they inherited the labor of the people, 45So that they might take heed to His statutes and keep His laws.
