2 Sing vnto him, sing prayse vnto him, and talke of all his wonderous workes.

4 Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.
Seek you the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
5 Remember his marueilous woorkes, that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgements of his mouth,
Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth;
6 Ye seede of Abraham his seruant, ye children of Iaakob, which are his elect.
[you] seed of Abraam, his servants, [you] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7 He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are through all the earth.
He is the Lord our God; his judgements are in all the earth.
8 He hath alway remembred his couenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,
He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generation:
9 Euen that which he made with Abraham, and his othe vnto Izhak:
which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
10 And since hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,
And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
11 Saying, Vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
saying To you will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
12 Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,
when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
13 And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,
And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
14 Yet suffered he no man to doe them wrong, but reprooued Kings for their sakes, saying,
He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
15 Touche not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme.
[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
16 Moreouer, he called a famine vpon ye land, and vtterly brake the staffe of bread.
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.
17 But he sent a man before them: Ioseph was solde for a slaue.
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
18 They helde his feete in the stockes, and he was laide in yrons,
They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
19 Vntill his appointed time came, and the counsell of the Lord had tryed him.
until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
20 The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,
He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
22 That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome.
to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

24 And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger then their oppressours.
And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deale craftily with his seruants.
And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
26 Then sent he Moses his seruant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
He sent fort Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They shewed among them the message of his signes, and wonders in the land of Ham.
He established amongst them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
28 He sent darkenesse, and made it darke: and they were not disobedient vnto his commission.
He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slewe their fish.

30 Their land brought foorth frogs, euen in their Kings chambers.

33 He smote their vines also and their figge trees, and brake downe the trees in their coastes.
And he struck their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
34 He spake, and the grashoppers came, and caterpillers innumerable,
He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
35 And did eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the fruite of their ground.
and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of the ground.
36 He smote also all the first borne in their land, euen the beginning of all their strength.

40 They asked, and he brought quailes, and he filled them with the bread of heauen.
They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rocke, and the waters flowed out, and ranne in the drye places like a riuer.
He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places.
42 For he remembred his holy promise to Abraham his seruant,
For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with ioy, and his chosen with gladnesse,
And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;
44 And gaue them the lands of the heathen, and they tooke the labours of the people in possession,
and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;
45 That they might keepe his statutes, and obserue his Lawes. Prayse ye the Lord.
that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
