1 Give ye thanks to Yahweh, Call upon his Name, Make known, among the peoples, his doings;
Give thanks to YHWH—call on His Name, Make His acts known among the peoples.
2 Sing ye to him, Make ye music to him, Speak ye of all his wonders.
Sing to Him—sing praise to Him, Meditate on all His wonders.
3 Make your boast in his holy Name, Joyful be the heart of them who are seeking Yahweh.
Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking YHWH rejoices.
4 Search out Yahweh and his strength, Seek diligently his face at all times.
Seek YHWH and His strength, Seek His face continually.
5 Remember his wonders which he hath done, His portents, and the just decisions of his mouth.
Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
6 O ye Seed of Abraham—his servants, Sons of Jacob—his chosen ones:
O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 Yahweh himself, is our God, Through all the land, are his just decision.
He [is] our God YHWH, His judgments [are] in all the earth.
8 He hath remembered, unto times age-abiding, his covenant, The word he commanded, to a thousand generations;
He has remembered His covenant for all time, The word He commanded to one thousand generations,
9 Which he solemnised with Abraham, and his oath, to Isaac;
That He has made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10 And confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel, as a covenant age-abiding;
And establishes it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel—a perpetual covenant,
11 Saying, To thee, will I give the land of Canaan, As your inherited portion;
Saying, “I give the land of Canaan to you, The portion of your inheritance,”
12 While as yet they were men easily counted, —A very few, and sojourners therein;
In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
13 And they wandered from nation to nation, From a kingdom, to another people.
And they go up and down, from nation to nation, From a kingdom to another people.
14 He suffered no son of earth to oppress them, And reproved—for their sakes—[even] kings!
He has not permitted any to oppress them And He reproves kings for their sakes.
15 Ye may not touch mine Anointed ones, And, to my Prophets, may ye do no wrong.
“Do not strike against My anointed, And do no evil to My prophets.”
16 Then called he a famine over the land, All the staff of bread, he brake;
And He calls a famine on the land, He has broken the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent before them a man, For a slave, was he sold—[even] Joseph;
He has sent a man before them, Joseph has been sold for a servant.
18 They forced, into a fetter, his foot, Into the iron, entered his soul;
They have afflicted his feet with chains, Iron has entered his soul,
19 Until the time when his word came to pass, Speech of Yahweh, proved him;
Until the time of the coming of His word The saying of YHWH has tried him.
20 The king sent, and set him free, One having dominion over peoples, yet loosed he his bonds;
The king has sent, and looses him, The ruler of the peoples, and draws him out.
21 He appointed him lord to his household, And one having dominion over all he possessed;
He has made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
22 That he might bind his rulers as he pleased, And, his elders, he might embue with wisdom.
To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And he makes his elderly wise.
23 So Israel came into Egypt, And, Jacob, sojourned in the land of Ham;
And Israel comes into Egypt, And Jacob has sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he made his people exceeding fruitful, —And caused them to become stronger than their adversaries.
And He makes His people very fruitful, And makes it mightier than its adversaries.
25 He let them turn their heart—To hate his people, To deal treacherously with his servants;
He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant, Aaron, whom he had chosen.
He has sent His servant Moses, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
27 He set among them his threatening signs, And his wonders, in the land of Ham;
They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark, But they rebelled against his words;
He has sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, And so caused their fish to die;
He has turned their waters to blood, And puts their fish to death.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, In the chambers of their kings!
Their land has teemed [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came in the gad-fly, Gnats, in all their bounds;
He has commanded, and the beetle comes, Lice into all their border.
32 He made their showers—hail, A fire flaming throughout their land;
He has made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
33 And he smote their vines, and their fig-trees, And brake in pieces the trees of their bounds;
And He strikes their vine and their fig, And shatters the trees of their border.
34 He spake—then came the swarming locust, —The devouring locust, and that without number;
He has commanded, and the locust comes, And the cankerworm—innumerable,
35 And devoured all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruit of their ground.
And it consumes every herb in their land, And it consumes the fruit of their ground.
36 Then smote he every firstborn in their land, The beginning of all their strength;
And He strikes every firstborn in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37 Thus brought he them forth, with silver and gold, Nor was there, throughout his tribes, one that faltered;
And brings them out with silver and gold, And there is not a feeble one in its tribes.
38 Egypt rejoiced when they went out, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
Egypt has rejoiced in their going forth, For their fear had fallen on them.
39 He spread out a cloud as a covering, And fire, to give light by night,

40 They asked, and he brought in the quail, —And, with the bread of the heavens, he satisfied them;
They have asked, and He brings quails, And satisfies them [with] bread of the heavens.
41 He opened the rock, and there gushed forth waters, They flowed along, through parched places, as a river;
He has opened a rock, and waters flow, They have gone on in dry places—a river.
42 For he remembered his holy word, With Abraham his servant.
For He has remembered His holy word, With His servant Abraham,
43 Thus brought he forth his people with gladness, —With shouts of triumph, his chosen ones;
And He brings forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
44 And gave them, the lands of the nations, And, of the toil of the peoples, took they possession:
And He gives to them the lands of nations, And they possess the labor of peoples,
45 In order that they might observe his statutes, And, over his laws, might keep watch, Praise ye Yah.
That they may observe His statutes, And may keep His laws. Praise YAH!
