-
Give ye thanks to Jehovah--call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.
-
Sing ye to Him--sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
-
Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
-
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.
-
Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
-
O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
-
He is Jehovah our God, In all the earth are His judgments.
-
He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
-
That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
-
And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel--a covenant age-during,
-
Saying, `To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'
-
In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
-
And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
-
He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.
-
`Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'
-
And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.
-
He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.
-
They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,
-
Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.
-
The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
-
He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
-
To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
-
And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
-
And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
-
He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
-
He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
-
They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
-
He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
-
He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.
-
Teemed hath their land with frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
-
He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.
-
He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire is in their land.
-
And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
-
He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm--innumerable,
-
And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
-
And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
-
And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.
-
Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.
-
He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
-
They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And with bread of heaven satisfieth them.
-
He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places--a river.
-
For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
-
And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
-
And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
-
That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
