Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name; Let the hearts of them that seek the LORD rejoice!

8 He remembereth his covenant for ever, And the promise 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, And the oath which he gave to Isaac;
Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
10 Which he confirmed to Jacob for a decree, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant.
And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
11 “To thee,” said he, “will I give the land of Canaan For the lot of your inheritance.”
Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.
12 When they were yet few in number, Very few, and strangers in the land;
When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:
13 When they went from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,

14 He suffered no man to oppress them; Yea, he rebuked kings for their sakes.

19 Until his prediction came to pass, And the word of the LORD proved him.
Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.
20 Then the king sent, and loosed him; The ruler of nations, and set him free;
The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
21 He made him governor of his house, And lord of all his possessions;
He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his counsellors wisdom.
That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.

He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
26 Then sent he Moses his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen.

33 He smote also their vines and fig-trees, And broke the trees of their coasts.
And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
34 He spake, and the locusts came. Destructive locusts without number,
He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.
35 Which ate up all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruits of their fields.
And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
36 Then he smote all the first-born in their land, The first-fruits of all their strength.

Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
43 And he led forth his people with joy, And his chosen with gladness.
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.
44 He gave to them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labor of the peoples;
And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:
45 That they might observe his statutes, And obey his laws. Praise ye the LORD!
That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
