| 1. | Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples. |
| 2. | Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works. |
| 3. | Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice. |
| 4. | Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more. |
| 5. | Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, |
| 6. | you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones. |
| 7. | He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth. |
| 8. | He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, |
| 9. | the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac, |
| 10. | and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant, |
| 11. | saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;" |
| 12. | when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it. |
| 13. | They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. |
| 14. | He 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. | He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies. |
| 17. | He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave. |
| 18. | They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons, |
| 19. | until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh's word proved him true. |
| 20. | The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. |
| 21. | He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions; |
| 22. | to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom. |
| 23. | Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. |
| 24. | He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries. |
| 25. | He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants. |
| 26. | He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. |
| 27. | They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. |
| 28. | He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words. |
| 29. | He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish. |
| 30. | Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings. |
| 31. | He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders. |
| 32. | He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land. |
| 33. | He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country. |
| 34. | He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number, |
| 35. | ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground. |
| 36. | He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood. |
| 37. | He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes. |
| 38. | Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them. |
| 39. | He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night. |
| 40. | They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky. |
| 41. | He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places. |
| 42. | For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant. |
| 43. | He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with singing. |
| 44. | He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession, |
| 45. | that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise Yah! |
