|
O give thanks# unto the LORD; call# upon his name: make known# his deeds among the people.
|
|
|
|
2
|
Sing# unto him, sing psalms# unto him: talk# ye of all his wondrous works# .
|
|
|
|
3
|
Glory# ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice# that seek# the LORD.
|
|
|
|
4
|
Seek# the LORD, 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.
|
|
|
|
7
|
He
is the LORD 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
|
Which
covenant he made# with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
|
|
|
|
10
|
And confirmed# the same unto Jacob for a law,
and to Israel
for an everlasting covenant:
|
|
|
|
11
|
Saying# , Unto thee will I give# the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
[lot: Heb. cord]
|
|
|
|
12
|
When they were
but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers# in it.
|
|
|
|
13
|
When they went# from one nation to another, from
one kingdom to another people;
|
|
|
|
14
|
He suffered# no man to do them wrong# : yea, he reproved# kings for their sakes;
|
|
|
|
15
|
Saying , Touch# not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm# .
|
|
|
|
16
|
Moreover he called# for a famine upon the land: he brake# the whole staff of bread.
|
|
|
|
17
|
He sent# a man before them,
even Joseph,
who was sold# for a servant:
|
|
|
|
18
|
Whose feet they hurt# with fetters: he was laid# in iron:
[he...: Heb. his soul came into iron]
|
|
|
|
19
|
Until the time that his word came# : the word of the LORD tried# him.
|
|
|
|
20
|
The king sent# and loosed# him;
even the ruler# of the people, and let him go free# .
|
|
|
|
21
|
He made# him lord of his house, and ruler# of all his substance:
[substance: Heb. possession]
|
|
|
|
22
|
To bind# his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators 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 enemies.
|
|
|
|
25
|
He turned# their heart to hate# his people, to deal subtilly# with his servants.
|
|
|
|
26
|
He sent# Moses his servant;
and Aaron whom he had chosen# .
|
|
|
|
27
|
They shewed# his signs# among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
[his...: Heb. words of his signs]
|
|
|
|
28
|
He sent# darkness, and made it dark# ; and they rebelled# not against his word.
|
|
|
|
29
|
He turned# their waters into blood, and slew# their fish.
|
|
|
|
30
|
Their land brought forth# frogs in abundance# , in the chambers of their kings.
|
|
|
|
31
|
He spake# , and there came# divers sorts of flies,
and lice in all their coasts.
|
|
|
|
32
|
He gave# them hail for rain,
and flaming fire in their land.
[them...: Heb. their rain hail]
|
|
|
|
33
|
He smote# their vines also and their fig trees; and brake# the trees of their coasts.
|
|
|
|
34
|
He spake# , and the locusts came# , and caterpillers, and that without number,
|
|
|
|
35
|
And did eat up# all the herbs in their land, and devoured# the fruit of their ground.
|
|
|
|
36
|
He smote# also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
|
|
|
|
37
|
He brought them forth# also with silver and gold: and
there was not one feeble#
person among their tribes.
|
|
|
|
38
|
Egypt was glad# when they departed# : for the fear of them fell# upon them.
|
|
|
|
39
|
He spread# a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light# in the night.
|
|
|
|
40
|
The people asked# , and he brought# quails, and satisfied# them with the bread of heaven.
|
|
|
|
41
|
He opened# the rock, and the waters gushed out# ; they ran# in the dry places
like a river.
|
|
|
|
42
|
For he remembered# his holy promise,
and Abraham his servant.
|
|
|
|
43
|
And he brought forth# his people with joy,
and his chosen with gladness:
[gladness: Heb. singing]
|
|
|
|
44
|
And gave# them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited# the labour of the people;
|
|
|
|
45
|
That they might observe# his statutes, and keep# his laws. Praise# ye the LORD.
[Praise...: Heb. Hallelujah]
