1    ^noteO give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2   Sing to him, sing psalms to 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 wonderful 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    ^noteWhich covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

10   And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

11   Saying, ^note To thee will I give the land of Canaan, ^note the lot of your inheritance:

12   When they were a few men in number; yes, 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: yes, he reproved kings for their sakes;

15   Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

16   Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he broke the whole staff of bread.

17   He sent a man before them, ^note even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

18    ^noteWhose feet they hurt with fetters: ^note he was laid in iron:

19   Until the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.

20    ^noteThe king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

21    ^noteHe made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his ^note substance:

22   To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

23    ^noteIsrael 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    ^noteHe turned their heart to hate his

people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

26    ^noteHe sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27    ^noteThey showed ^note his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28    ^noteHe sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

29    ^noteHe turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

30    ^noteTheir land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

31    ^noteHe spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their borders.

32    ^{note note}He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

33   He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders.

34    ^noteHe spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number,

35   And ate up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

36    ^noteHe smote also all the first-born in their land, the chief of all their strength.

37    ^noteHe brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

38    ^noteEgypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

39    ^noteHe spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

40    ^noteThe people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41    ^noteHe 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 ^note gladness:

44    ^noteAnd gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labor of the people;

45   That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the Lord.
