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!
