1O give thanks to Jehovah! Call upon his name. Make his work known among the people. 2Sing to him, give praise to him! Declare all his wondrous works. 3Praise his holy name! Let the heart of those rejoice who seek Jehovah. 4Seek Jehovah and seek his strength. Seek his presence constantly! 5Remember the marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth. 6You seed of Abraham his servant, you children of Jacob his chosen ones. 7He is Jehovah our God: his judgments are in all the earth. 8He has remembered his covenant forever! It is the word he commanded to a thousand generations. 9He made this covenant with Abraham and gave his oath to Isaac. 10He confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant. 11He said: »I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance to you.« 12They were a few men in number, very few, and strangers in it. 13They went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people. 14He permitted no man to do them wrong and he reproved kings for their sakes. 15He said: »Do not touch my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.« 16Furthermore, he called for a famine on the land: he broke the whole staff of bread. 17He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold for a servant. 18Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: 19Jehovah’s presence tested him through fiery trials until the time that his word came. 20The king sent someone to release him. The ruler of nations set him free. 21He made Joseph the master of his palace and the ruler of all his possessions. 22Joseph trained the king's officers the way he wanted and taught his respected leaders wisdom. 23Then Israel came to Egypt. Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham. 24Jehovah made his people grow rapidly in number and stronger than their enemies. 25He changed their minds so that they hated his people, and they dealt treacherously with his servants. 26He sent his servant Moses, and he sent Aaron, whom he had chosen. 27They displayed his miraculous signs among them and did amazing things in the land of Ham. 28He sent darkness and made their land dark. They did not rebel against his orders. 29He turned their water into blood and caused their fish to die. 30He made their land swarm with frogs, even in the kings' bedrooms. 31He spoke, and swarms of flies and gnats infested their entire territory. 32He gave them hail and lightning instead of rain throughout their land. 33He struck their grapevines and fig trees and smashed the trees in their territory. 34He spoke, and countless locusts and grasshoppers came. 35They devoured all the plants in the land. They devoured the crops in the fields. 36He killed all the firstborn sons, the first ones born in the land when their fathers were young. 37He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and no one among his tribes stumbled. 38The Egyptians were terrified of Israel, so they were glad when Israel left. 39He spread out a cloud as a protective covering and a fire to light up the night. 40The Israelites asked, and he brought them quail and filled them with bread from heaven. 41He opened a rock, and water flowed like a river through the dry places. 42He remembered his holy word to his servant Abraham. 43He brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with a song of joy. 44He gave them the lands of other nations. They inherited what others had worked for. 45Then they would obey his laws and follow his teachings. Praise Jehovah!
