King James Version

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.

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

    “Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? who shall set forth all his praises? Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do justice at all times. Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: visit us with thy salvation. That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance. We have sinned with our fathers: we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity. Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, even the Red Sea. And he saved them for his own name's sake: that he might make his power known. And he rebuked the Red Sea and it was dried up: and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness. And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. And the water covered them that afflicted them: there was not one of them left. And they believed his words: and they sang his praises. They had quickly done, they forgot his works: and they waited not for his counsel. And they coveted their desire in the desert: and they tempted God in the place without water. And he gave them their request: and sent fulness into their souls. And they provoked Moses in the camp, Aaron the holy one of the Lord. The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: and covered the congregation of Abiron. And a fire was kindled in their congregation: the flame burned the wicked. They made also a calf in Horeb: and they adored the graven thing. And they changed their glory into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass. They forgot God, who saved them, who had done great things in Egypt, Wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea. And he said that he would destroy them: had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them. And they set at nought the desirable land. They believed not his word, And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord. And he lifted up his hand over them: to overthrow them in the desert; And to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries. They also were initiated to Beelphegor: and ate the sacrifices of the dead. And they provoked him with their inventions: and destruction was multiplied among them. Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: and the slaughter ceased. And it was reputed to him unto justice, to generation and generation for evermore. They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: and Moses was afflicted for their sakes: Because they exasperated his spirit. And he distinguished with his lips. They did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them. And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: And served their idols, and it became a stumblingblock to them. And they sacrificed their sons, and their daughters to devils. And they shed innocent blood: the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. And the land was polluted with blood, And was defiled with their works: and they went aside after their own inventions. And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: and he abhorred his inheritance. And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: and they that hated them had dominion over them. And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands: Many times did he deliver them. But they provoked him with their counsel: and they were brought low by their iniquities. And he saw when they were in tribulation: and he heard their prayer. And he was mindful of his covenant: and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. And he gave them unto mercies, in the sight of all those that had made them captives. Save us, O Lord, our God: and gather us from among the nations: That we may give thanks to thy holy name, and may glory in thy praise. Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say: So be it, so be it. ”
