1Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name: make known his deeds among the nations.
2Sing to him, make music to him, tell of all his wondrous works.
3Make your boast in his holy name, be glad at heart, you who seek the Lord.
4Seek after the Lord and his strength, seek his face evermore.
5Remember the wonders he did, his portents, the judgments he uttered.
6He is the Lord our God: in all the earth are his judgments.
7He remembers forever his covenant, his promise for a thousand generations
8The covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac,
9and confirmed as a statute to Jacob, a pact everlasting to Israel
10to give them the land of Canaan as the lot which they should inherit.
11And when they were very few, few and but pilgrims therein,
12wandering from nation to nation, journeying from people to people,
13he allowed no one to oppress them, even punishing kings for their sakes.
14He forbade them to touch his anointed, or do any hurt to his prophets.
15When he called down famine on the land, and cut off the bread which sustained them,
16he sent before them a man, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
17His feet were galled with fetters, he was laid in chains of iron,
18till the time that his word came to pass, the word of the Lord that had tried him.
19The king sent and freed him, the ruler of nations released him.
20He made him lord of his household, and ruler of all his possessions,
21to admonish his princes at will and instruct his elders in wisdom.
22Thus Israel came into Egypt, Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
23His people he made very fruitful, and mightier than their foes.
24He inspired them to hate his people, and to deal with his servants craftily.
25He sent his servant Moses, and Aaron whom he had chosen,
26portents he wrought in Egypt, and signs in the land of Ham.
27Darkness he sent, and it fell: yet they gave no heed to his word.
28He turned their waters into blood, thus causing their fish to die.
29Their land was alive with frogs, swarming even in the royal chambers.
30At his command came flies, and lice in all their borders.
31He gave them hail for rain and fire that flashed through the land,
32smiting their vines and figs, breaking the trees of their border.
33At his command came locusts, young locusts beyond all counting,
34which ate every herb in the land, ate up, too, the fruit of their ground.
35He struck down in their land all the first-born, the firstlings of all their strength
36Then forth he led Israel with silver and gold, and among his tribes not one was weary.
37Egypt was glad when they left, for terror had fallen upon them.
38He spread out a cloud to screen them, and fire to give light in the night.
39He sent quails at their entreaty, and heavenly bread in abundance.
40He opened the rock; waters gushed: in the desert they ran like a river.
41For he remembered his holy promise to Abraham his servant.
42So he led out his people with joy, his elect with a ringing cry.
43And he gave them the lands of the nations, the fruit of their toil for possession,
44that so they might keep his statutes, and be of his laws observant. Hallelujah.
