1 Give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make his deeds known among the peoples.
Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
2 Sing to him, sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.
3 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

8 He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac,
Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
10 and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
11 saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;"
Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.
12 when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.

19 until the time that his word happened, and the LORD's word proved him true.
Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.
20 The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions;
He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.
22 to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.

He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.
35 ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground.
And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
36 He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.
37 And he brought them out with silver and gold, and there was no one among their tribes who stumbled.

Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought forth his people with joy, his chosen with singing.
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.
44 He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:
45 that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD.
That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
