1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah , call upon his name ; Make known among the peoples his doings . 2Sing unto him , sing praises unto him ; Talk ye of all his marvellous works . 3Glory ye in his holy name : Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah . 4Seek ye Jehovah and his strength ; Seek his face evermore . 5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done , His wonders , and the judgments of his mouth , 6O ye seed of Abraham his servant , Ye children of Jacob , his chosen ones . 7He is Jehovah our God : His judgments are in all the earth. 8He hath remembered his covenant for ever , The word which he commanded to a thousand generations , 9The covenant which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac , 10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute , To Israel for an everlasting covenant , 11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan , The lot of your inheritance ; 12When they were but a few men in number , Yea, very few , and sojourners in it . 13And they went about from nation to nation , From one kingdom to another people . 14He suffered no man to do them wrong ; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes , 15Saying , Touch not mine anointed ones , And do my prophets no harm .
The Call to Remember
16And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread . 17He sent a man before them ; Joseph was sold for a servant : 18His feet they hurt with fetters : He was laid in chains of iron , 19Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him . 20The king sent and loosed him ; Even the ruler of peoples , and let him go free . 21He made him lord of his house , And ruler of all his substance ; 22To bind his princes at his pleasure , And teach his elders wisdom . 23Israel also came into Egypt ; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham .
God's Sovereignty in History
24And he increased his people greatly , And made them stronger than their adversaries . 25He turned their heart to hate his people , To deal subtly with his servants . 26He sent Moses his servant , And Aaron whom he had chosen. 27They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham . 28He sent darkness , and made it dark ; And they rebelled not against his words . 29He turned their waters into blood , And slew their fish . 30Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings . 31He spake, and there came swarms of flies , And lice in all their borders . 32He gave them hail for rain , And flaming fire in their land. 33He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders . 34He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number , 35And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground. 36He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.
The Exodus and God's Provision
37And he brought them forth with silver and gold ; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes . 38Egypt was glad when they departed ; For the fear of them had fallen upon them . 39He spread a cloud for a covering , And fire to give light in the night . 40They asked , and he brought quails , And satisfied them with the bread of heaven . 41He opened the rock , and waters gushed out ; They ran in the dry places like a river . 42For he remembered his holy word , And Abraham his servant . 43And he brought forth his people with joy , And his chosen with singing . 44And he gave them the lands of the nations ; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession : 45That they might keep his statutes , And observe his laws . Praise ye Jehovah .
