[1]O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
[2]Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
[3]Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
[4]Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
[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.
[7]He is the LORD 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]Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
[10]And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
[11]Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
[12]When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
[13]When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
[14]He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
[15]Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
[16]Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
[17]He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
[18]Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
[19]Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
[20]The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
[21]He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
[22]To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators 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 stronger than their enemies.
[25]He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
[26]He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
[27]They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
[28]He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
[29]He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
[30]Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
[31]He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
[32]He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
[33]He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
[34]He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
[35]And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
[36]He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
[37]He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
[38]Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
[39]He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
[40]The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
[41]He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
[42]For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
[43]And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
[44]And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
[45]That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
