1 Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
O GIVE thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8 He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

10 He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11 “I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12 When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13 they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
14 He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15 “Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

17 He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.

18 They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19 until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.
20 The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23 Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.

34 He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35 They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

40 They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43 He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
44 He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45 that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.
