| Jehovah's wonderful Works in behalf of Israel. |
|
| |
|
1 Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;
Make known among the peoples his doings.
|
|
2 Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;
Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
|
|
3 Glory ye in his holy name:
Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
|
|
4 Seek ye Jehovah 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 ones.
|
|
7 He is Jehovah 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 confirmed the same 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 your inheritance,
|
|
12 When they were but a few men in number,
Yes, very few, and sojourners in it.
|
|
13 And they went about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people.
|
|
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong;
Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
|
|
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,
And do my prophets no harm.
|
|
16 And he called for a famine upon the land;
He brake 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;
He was laid in chains of iron,
|
|
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of Jehovah tried him.
|
|
20 The king sent and loosed him;
Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
|
|
21 He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his substance;
|
|
22 To bind his princes according to his soul,
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 stronger than their adversaries.
|
|
25 He turned their heart to hate his people,
To deal subtly with his servants.
|
|
26 He sent Moses his servant,
And Aaron whom he had chosen.
|
|
27 They set among them his signs,
And wonders in the land of Ham.
|
|
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they rebelled not against his words.
|
|
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 spake, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice 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 brake the trees of their borders.
|
|
34 He spake, and the locust came,
And the grasshopper, and that 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 firstborn in their land,
The chief of all their strength.
|
|
37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold;
And there was not one feeble person 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 covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
|
|
40 They asked, and he brought quails,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
|
|
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;
They ran in the dry places like a river.
|
|
42 For he remembered his holy word,
And Abraham his servant.
|
|
43 And he brought forth his people with joy,
And his chosen with singing.
|
|
44 And he gave them the lands of the nations;
And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
|
|
45 That they might keep his statutes,
And observe his laws.
Praise ye Jehovah. |
