1Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make known his deeds among the peoples!
2Sing to him! Sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works!
3Boast about his holy name! Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
4Seek Yahweh and his strength! Seek his face continually!
5Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his signs and the judgments of his mouth.
6The seed of Abraham is his servant, the children of Jacob are his chosen ones!
7He is Yahweh our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
8He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded to 1,000 generations,
9which he cut with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac,
10And he confirmed it to Jacob as a statute; to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11saying, “I will give you the land of Canaan, as your allotted inheritance.”
12When they were only a few in number, very few, and were foreigners in it,
13they walked to and fro from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
14he allowed no one to oppress them, and he rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,
15“Do not touch my anointed ones! Do my prophets no harm!”
16He called for a famine on the land. He broke the whole staff of bread.
17He sent a man before them, Joseph was sold as a slave.
18They afflicted his feet with fetters, His neck was put in irons;
19until the time that his word came to pass, and Yahweh’s word refined him.
20The king sent and freed him, the ruler of people, and he set him free.
21He made him lord of his house and ruler of all of his possessions,
22to obligate his princes to himself and teach wisdom to his elders.
23Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24He caused his people to be very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes.
25He turned their heart to hate his people, to behave cunningly against his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed words of his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness and made it dark. And they were not disobedient to his words.
29He turned their waters into blood and killed their fish.
30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their rulers.
31He spoke, and a swarm of insects came, and gnats throughout their territory.
32He gave them hail for rain, flaming fire in their land.
33He even struck their vines and their fig trees and shattered the trees of their territory.
34He spoke, and the locusts came, yes, locusts without number,
35and they ate up every plant in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36And he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
37He brought them out with silver and gold. And no one among his tribes stumbled.
38Egypt rejoiced when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to illumine in the night.
40He asked, and he brought quail and he satisfied them with the bread from heaven.
41He opened the rock and water gushed out. It flowed as a river in the dry places.
42For he remembered his holy word spoken with Abraham his servant.
43He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with a cry of jubilation.
44He gave to them the lands of the nations, and they inherited the fruit of the people’s toil,
45so that they might keep his statutes and observe his law. Praise Yah!
