Tell of His Wonders
(1 Chronicles 16:7–22)

1Confess to Jehovah, call upon his name: make ye known his doings among the peoples.

2Sing ye to him and play on the harp to him: discourse ye upon all his wonders.

3Boast ye in his holy name: the heart of those seeking Jehovah shall rejoice.

4Seek ye Jehovah and his strength: seek his face always.

5Remember his wonders which he did; his signs and the judgments of his mouth.

6The seed of Abraham his servant, the sons of Jacob his chosen.

7He is Jehovah our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

8He remembered his covenant forever, the word he commanded to a thousand generations.

9Which he cut out with Abraham, and his oath to Isaak.

10And he will set it for a law to Jacob, to Israel an eternal covenant:

11Saying, To thee will give the land of Canaan, the line of your inheritance:

12In their being men of number, as few and strangers in it.

13And they will go about from nation to nation, from the kingdom to another people;

14He permitted not a man to oppress them, and for them he will reprove kings.

15Ye shall not touch upon my Messiah, and ye shall not do evil to my prophets.

16And he will call a famine upon the land: he broke all the support of bread.

17He sent a man before them, Joseph, for a servant was he sold:

18They humbled his feet with the fetter: his soul came into iron:

19Even to the time his word came: the sayings of Jehovah purified him.

20The king sent and he will bring him down; the ruler of the peoples, and he will loose him.

21He set him lord to his house, and ruler over all his possessions:

22To bind his chiefs in his soul, and to make his old men wise.

23And Israel will come into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24And he will make his people fruitful greatly, and he will strengthen him above his enemies.

25He turned their heart to hate his people, to act deceitfully with his servants.

26He sent Moses his servant; Aaron whom he chose in him.

27They set the words of his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28He sent darkness, and he will darken; and they embittered not his words.

29He turned their waters to blood, and he will slay their fish.

30Their land abounded with frogs in the chambers of their kings.

31He said, and the gad-fly will come, and gnats in all their bounds.

32He gave their rain hail, a fire of flames in their land.

33And he will strike their vine and their fig trees, and he will break the tree of their bound.

34He said, and the locust will come and the feeder, and no number.

35And it will devour all the of their land, and it will devour all the fruit of their earth.

36And he will strike every first-born in their land, the first-fruits to all their strength.

37And he will bring them forth with silver and gold, and none being weak in their tribes.

38Egypt was glad in their going forth, for their fear fell upon them.

39He spread a cloud for covering, and fire to lighten the night.

40Asking, and he will bring the quail, and he will fill them with the bread of the heavens.

41He opened the rock and the waters will flow; they went in dry places a river.

42For he remembered his holy word with Abraham his servant.

43And he will bring forth his people in joy, his chosen in rejoicing.

44And he will give to them the lands of the nations, and they will inherit the labor of the people;

45So that they shall watch his laws, and his instructions they shall observe. Praise ye Jah.
