[1]O give thanks unto 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇, call upon His name; make known His doings among the peoples.
[2]Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; speak ye of all His marvellous works.
[3]Glory ye in His holy name; let the heart of them rejoice that seek 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇.
[4]Seek ye 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 and His strength; seek His face continually.
[5]Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
[6]O ye seed of Abraham His servant, ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
[7]He is 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
[8]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 His oath unto Isaac;
[10]And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
[11]Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of you inheritance.'
[12]When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
[13]And when they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,
[14]He suffered no man to do them wrong, yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
[15]'Touch not Mine anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.'
[16]And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
[17]He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;
[18]His feet they hurt with fetters, his person was laid in iron;
[19]Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of 𐤉𐤇𐤅𐤇 tested him.
[20]The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.
[21]He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his possessions;
[22]To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
[23]Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
[24]And He increased His people greatly, and made them too mighty for their adversaries.
[25]He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants.
[26]He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen.
[27]They wrought among them His manifold signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
[28]He sent darkness, and it was dark; and they rebelled not against His word.
[29]He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
[30]Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.
[31]He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats in all their borders.
[32]He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
[33]He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.
[34]He spoke, and the locust came, and the canker-worm without number,
[35]And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
[36]He smote also all the first-born in their land, the first-fruits of all their strength.
[37]And He brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was none that stumbled among His tribes.
[38]Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
[39]He spread a cloud for a screen; and fire to give light in the night.
[40]They asked, and He brought quails, and gave them in plenty the bread of heaven.
[41]He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran, a river in the dry places.
[42]For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant;
[43]And He brought forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.
[44]And He gave them the lands of the nations, and they took the labour of the peoples in possession;
[45]That they might keep His statutes, and observe His laws. Hallelujah.
