1 - Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done.
2 - Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts.
3 - Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4 - Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always.
5 - Remember the wonders he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he pronounced,
6 - you his servants, the descendants of Abraham, his chosen ones, the children of Jacob.
7 - He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
8 - He remembers his covenant forever, the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
9 - the covenant he made with Abraham, the oath he swore to Isaac.
10 - He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11 - "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit."
12 - When they were but few in number, few indeed, and strangers in it,
13 - they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14 - He allowed no one to oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings:
15 - "Do not touch my anointed ones; do my prophets no harm."
16 - He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;
17 - and he sent a man before them - Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 - They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,
19 - till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the Lord proved him true.
20 - The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.
21 - He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,
22 - to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
23 - Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24 - The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,
25 - whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
26 - He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 - They performed his signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham.
28 - He sent darkness and made the land dark - for had they not rebelled against his words?
29 - He turned their waters into blood, causing their fish to die.
30 - Their land teemed with frogs, which went up into the bedrooms of their rulers.
31 - He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.
32 - He turned their rain into hail, with lightning throughout their land;
33 - he struck down their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
34 - He spoke, and the locusts came, grasshoppers without number;
35 - they ate up every green thing in their land, ate up the produce of their soil.
36 - Then he struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their manhood.
37 - He brought out Israel, laden with silver and gold, and from among their tribes no one faltered.
38 - Egypt was glad when they left, because dread of Israel had fallen on them.
39 - He spread out a cloud as a covering, and a fire to give light at night.
40 - They asked, and he brought them quail; he fed them well with the bread of heaven.
41 - He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 - For he remembered his holy promise given to his servant Abraham.
43 - He brought out his people with rejoicing, his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 - he gave them the lands of the nations, and they fell heir to what others had toiled for -
45 - that they might keep his precepts and observe his laws. Praise the Lord.
