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