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.

23  Then ^pIsrael came to Egypt;

Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

24  And ^qthe Lord made his people very fruitful

and made them stronger than their foes.

25  ^rHe turned their hearts to hate his people,

to deal craftily with his servants.

26  He ^ssent Moses, his servant,

and Aaron, whom he had chosen.

27  ^tThey performed his ^usigns among them

and miracles in the land of Ham.

28  ^vHe sent darkness, and made the land dark;

they did not rebel³ against his words.

29  ^wHe turned their waters into blood

and caused their fish to die.

30  ^xTheir land swarmed with frogs,

even in the chambers of their kings.

31  He spoke, and ^ythere came swarms of flies,

and ^zgnats throughout their country.

32  ^aHe gave them hail for rain,

and ^bfiery lightning bolts through their land.

33  He struck down their vines and fig trees,

and shattered the trees of their country.

34  He spoke, and ^cthe locusts came,

young locusts without number,

35  which devoured all the vegetation in their land

and ate up the fruit of their ground.

36  ^dHe struck down all the firstborn in their land,

^ethe firstfruits of all their strength.

37  ^fThen he brought out Israel with silver and gold,

and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

38  ^gEgypt was glad when they departed,

for dread of them had fallen upon it.

39  He spread a ^hcloud for a covering,

and fire to give light by night.

40  They asked, and ⁱhe brought quail,

and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.

41  ^jHe opened the rock, and water gushed out;

it flowed through the desert like a river.

42  For he remembered his holy promise,

and Abraham, his servant.

43  So he brought his people out with joy,

his chosen ones ^kwith singing.

44  And he gave them the lands of the nations,

and ^lthey took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,

45  that they might keep his statutes

and observe his laws.

Praise the Lord!
