Give thanks to Yahweh, and tell others that he is very great! Tell everyone in the world what he has done!
2 Sing to him sing praises to him tell in all wonders his.
Sing to him; praise him as you sing to him; tell others about his wonderful miracles.
3 Boast in [the] name of holiness his let it rejoice [the] heart of - [those who] seek Yahweh.
Be happy because [you know that] he [MTY] is holy! You people who worship Yahweh, rejoice!
4 Seek Yahweh and strength his seek face his continually.
Ask Yahweh to help you and give you his strength, and continue to ask him!
5 Remember wonders his which he did signs his and [the] judgments of mouth his.
You people who are descendants of God’s servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, the man God chose, think about [all] the wonderful things that he has done: He performed miracles, and he punished [all our enemies].
6 O offspring of Abraham servant his O children of Jacob chosen ones his.
7 He [is] Yahweh God our [are] in all the earth judgments his.
He is Yahweh, our God. He rules and judges [people] throughout the earth.
8 He remembers for ever covenant his [the] word [which] he commanded for a thousand generation[s].
He never forgets the agreement that he made; he made a promise that will last for 1,000 generations;
9 Which he made with Abraham and oath his to Isaac.
that is the agreement that he made with Abraham, and he repeated that agreement with Isaac.
10 And he confirmed it to Jacob to a decree to Israel a covenant of perpetuity.
[Later] he confirmed it [again] to Jacob as an agreement for the Israeli [people] that would last forever.
11 Saying to you I will give [the] land of Canaan [the] portion of inheritance your.
What he said was, “I will give you the Canaan region; it will belong to you [and your descendants forever].”
12 When were they men of number like a little and sojourners in it.
[He said that to them] when there were only a few of them, a tiny group of people who were living in that land like strangers.
13 And they went about from nation to nation from a kingdom to a people another.
They continued to wander from one place to another, from one kingdom to another.
14 Not he permitted anyone to oppress them and he rebuked on them kings.
But he did not allow others to oppress them. He warned those kings by saying to them,
15 May not you touch anointed [ones] my and to prophets my may not you do harm.
“Do not do harm the [people] whom I have chosen! Do not harm my prophets!”
16 And he called a famine on the land every staff of bread he broke.
He sent a famine to Canaan, and [as a result all the people] had no food to eat.
17 He sent before them a man to a slave he was sold Joseph.
So his people went to Egypt, but first he sent someone there. He sent Joseph, who had been sold to be a slave.
18 People afflicted with shackle[s] (foot his *Q(K)*) iron it came neck his.
[Later, while Joseph was in prison in Egypt], they put his legs in shackles that bruised his feet, and they put an iron collar around his neck.
19 Until [the] time came word his [the] word of Yahweh it tested him.
There, Yahweh (refined Joseph’s character/tested Joseph to see if Joseph would continue to trust him), until what Joseph predicted would happen (came true/happened).
20 He sent a king (and he set free him *LA(bh)*) a ruler of peoples and he set free him.
The king [of Egypt] summoned him, and he set Joseph free; this ruler of many people-groups released Joseph [from prison].
21 He appointed him master of household his and ruler over every possession his.
[Then] he appointed him to take care of everything in the king’s household, to take care of everything that the king possessed.
22 To bind officials his in will his and elders his he taught wisdom.
(Joseph was permitted/He permitted Joseph) to command the king’s servants to do anything that Joseph wanted them to do, and [even] to tell the king’s advisors the things that they should do [for the people of Egypt].
23 And he came Israel Egypt and Jacob he sojourned in [the] land of Ham.
Later, [Joseph’s father] Jacob arrived in Egypt. He lived like a foreigner in the land that belonged to the descendants of Ham.
24 And he made fruitful people his exceedingly and he made strong it more than foes its.
And [years later] Yahweh caused the descendants of Jacob to become very numerous. [As a result], their enemies, [the Egyptians], considered that the Israelis were too strong.
25 He turned heart their to hate people his to deal deceptively with servants his.
[So] Yahweh caused the rulers of Egypt to (turn against/hate) the Israeli people, and they planned ways to get rid of his people.
26 He sent Moses servant his Aaron whom he had chosen him.
[But then] Yahweh sent his servant Moses along with [Moses’ older brother] Aaron, whom Yahweh had [also] chosen [to be his servant].
27 They performed among them [the] words of signs his and wonders in [the] land of Ham.
Those two performed amazing miracles among the people of Egypt, in that land where the descendants of Ham lived.
28 He sent darkness and he made dark and not they rebelled against (word his. *Q(K)*)
Yahweh sent darkness, so that the people of Egypt could not see anything [DOU], but the rulers of Egypt refused [RHQ] to obey when [Moses and Aaron] commanded [them to let the Israeli people leave Egypt].
29 He turned water their into blood and he caused to die fish their.
Yahweh caused [all] the water in Egypt to become (blood/[red like] blood), and [his doing that] caused all the fish to die.
30 It swarmed land their frogs in [the] rooms of kings their.
[Then he caused] the land to become full of frogs; the king and his officials even had frogs in their bedrooms.
31 He spoke and it came a swarm of flies gnats in all territory their.
[Then] Yahweh commanded that flies come, and swarms of them descended [on the people of Egypt], and gnats [also] swarmed across the whole country.
32 He made rains their hail a fire of flames [was] in land their.
Instead of sending rain, Yahweh sent [terrible] hail, and lightning flashed throughout the land.
33 And he struck down vine[s] their and fig tree[s] their and he broke down [the] tree[s] of territory their.
The hail ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the [other] trees.
34 He spoke and it came locust[s] and locust[s] and there not [was] a number.
He commanded locusts to come, and swarms of them came; [so many that] they could not be counted.
35 And it ate all [the] vegetation in land their and it ate [the] fruit of ground their.
The locusts ate every green plant in the land, ruining all the crops.
36 And he struck down every firstborn in land their [the] beginning of all manly vigor their.
[Then] Yahweh killed the oldest son in every house [of the people of Egypt] [DOU].
37 And he brought out them with silver and gold and there not among tribes his [was one who] stumbled.
Then he brought the Israeli [people] out [from Egypt]; they were carrying loads of [jewelry made of] silver and gold [that the women of Egypt had given to them]. No one was left behind because of being sick.
38 It was glad Egypt when went out they for it had fallen dread of them on them.
[The people of] Egypt were glad when the Israeli people left, because they had become very afraid of the Israelis.
39 He spread out a cloud to a covering and fire to give light night.
[Then] Yahweh spread a cloud to cover the Israelis; and [at night it became] a big fire [in the sky] to give them light.
40 He asked and he brought quail and bread of heavens he satisfied them.
[Later] the Israelis asked for [meat to eat], and Yahweh sent [flocks of] quail to them, and he gave them plenty of manna [food] from the sky [each morning].
41 He opened a rock and they flowed out waters they went in the dry regions a river.
[One day] he caused a rock to open up and water poured out [for them to drink]; it was like a river flowing in that desert.
42 For he remembered [the] word of holiness his Abraham servant his.
[He did that] because he kept thinking about the sacred promise [that he had given] to his servant, Abraham.
43 And he brought out people his with joy with a shout of joy chosen ones his.
So his people were joyful as he brought them out from Egypt; those people whom he had chosen were shouting joyfully as they went.
44 And he gave to them lands of nations and [the] labor of peoples they took possession of.
He gave to them the land that belonged to the people-groups [that lived there in Canaan], and the Israelis harvested crops that [other] people had planted.
45 In order that - they may keep decrees his and laws his they may observe praise Yahweh.
[Yahweh did all these things] in order that his people would do all the things that he had commanded them to do [DOU]. Praise Yahweh!
