O give thanks unto the Lord; call on his name: make known among the people his deeds.
2 Sing to Him—sing praise to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.

3 Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking YHWH rejoices.
Glorify yourselves in his holy name: let the heart of those rejoice that seek the Lord.

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, his elect.
7 He [is] our God YHWH, His judgments [are] in all the earth.
He is the Lord our God: over all the earth are his decrees.

He remembereth his covenant for ever, the word which he hath commanded, to the thousandth generation.
9 That He has made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
Which he covenanted with Abraham; and his oath unto Isaac;
10 And establishes it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel—a perpetual covenant,
And which he established unto Jacob as a statute, unto Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, “I give the land of Canaan to you, The portion of your inheritance,”
Saying, “Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, as the portion of your inheritance.”
12 In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it;
13 And they go up and down, from nation to nation, From a kingdom to another people.
And when they wandered from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people:
14 He has not permitted any to oppress them And He reproves kings for their sakes.
He suffered no man to oppress them; yea, he reproved kings for their sake;
15 “Do not strike against My anointed, And do no evil to My prophets.”
[Saying, ] “Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm,”—

19 Until the time of the coming of His word The saying of YHWH has tried him.
Until the time that his word came to pass, [when] the saying of the Lord had purified him.
20 The king has sent, and looses him, The ruler of the peoples, and draws him out.
The king sent and unfettered him; the ruler of people, and let him go free.
21 He has made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
He appointed him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possession:
22 To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And he makes his elderly wise.
That he might bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his ancients wisdom.

33 And He strikes their vine and their fig, And shatters the trees of their border.
And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees within their boundary.
34 He has commanded, and the locust comes, And the cankerworm—innumerable,
He spoke, and the locusts came, and crickets, and that without number;
35 And it consumes every herb in their land, And it consumes the fruit of their ground.
And they ate up all the herbs in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36 And He strikes every firstborn in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
And he smote all the first-born in their land, the first of all their strength.
37 And brings them out with silver and gold, And there is not a feeble one in its tribes.

41 He has opened a rock, and waters flow, They have gone on in dry places—a river.
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out: they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He has remembered His holy word, With His servant Abraham,
For he remembered his holy word given to Abraham his servant.
43 And He brings forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
And he brought forth his people with gladness, with joyful song his elect.
44 And He gives to them the lands of nations, And they possess the labor of peoples,
And he gave them the lands of nations; and the labor of people they obtained as an inheritance:
45 That they may observe His statutes, And may keep His laws. Praise YAH!
So that they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Hallelujah.
