1  ^sOh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;

make known his deeds among the peoples!

2  Sing to him, sing praises to him;

tell of all his wondrous works!

3  ^tGlory in his holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the Lord ^urejoice!

4  Seek the Lord and his strength;

^vseek his presence continually!

5  ^wRemember the wondrous works that he has done,

his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,

6  O offspring of Abraham, his servant,

children of Jacob, ^xhis chosen ones!

7  He is the Lord our God;

his judgments are in all the earth.

8  He ^yremembers his covenant ^zforever,

the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,

9  ^athe covenant that he made with Abraham,

^bhis sworn promise to Isaac,

10  which he ^cconfirmed to Jacob as a statute,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

11  saying, “To you I will give the ^dland of Canaan

as your portion for an inheritance.”

12  When they were few in number,

of little account, and sojourners in it,

13  wandering from nation to nation,

from one kingdom to another people,

14  ^ehe allowed no one to oppress them;

^fhe rebuked kings on their account,

15  saying, ^g“Touch not my anointed ones,

do my prophets no harm!”

16  When he ^hsummoned a famine on the land

and broke all supply¹ of bread,

17  ⁱhe had sent a man ahead of them,

Joseph, who was ^jsold as a slave.

18  ^kHis feet were hurt with fetters;

his neck was put in a collar of iron;

19  ^luntil what he had said came to pass,

the word of the Lord tested him.

20  ^mThe king sent and released him;

the ruler of the peoples set him free;

21  ⁿhe made him lord of his house

and ruler of all his possessions,

22  ^oto bind² his princes at his pleasure

and to teach his elders wisdom.
