| | 1 | Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
| |
| | 2 | Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works.
| |
| | 3 | Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of them rejoice who seek Yahweh.
| |
| | 4 | Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
| |
| | 5 | Remember his marvelous works that he has done; His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
| |
| | 6 | You seed of Abraham, his servant, You children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
| |
| | 7 | He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
| |
| | 8 | He has remembered his covenant forever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
| |
| | 9 | The covenant which he made with Abraham, His oath to Isaac,
| |
| | 10 | And confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
| |
| | 11 | Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;"
| |
| | 12 | When they were but a few men in number, Yes, very few, and sojourners in it.
| |
| | 13 | They went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.
| |
| | 14 | He allowed no one to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
| |
| | 15 | "Don't touch my anointed ones. Do my prophets no harm."
| |
| | 16 | He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
| |
| | 17 | He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
| |
| | 18 | They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
| |
| | 19 | Until the time that his word happened, And Yahweh's word proved him true.
| |
| | 20 | The king sent and freed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
| |
| | 21 | He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all of his possessions;
| |
| | 22 | To discipline his princes at his pleasure, And to teach his elders wisdom.
| |
| | 23 | Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
| |
| | 24 | He increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.
| |
| | 25 | He turned their heart to hate his people, To conspire against his servants.
| |
| | 26 | He sent Moses, his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen.
| |
| | 27 | They performed miracles among them, And wonders in the land of Ham.
| |
| | 28 | He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn't rebel against his words.
| |
| | 29 | He turned their waters into blood, And killed their fish.
| |
| | 30 | Their land swarmed with frogs, Even in the chambers of their kings.
| |
| | 31 | He spoke, and swarms of flies came, And lice in all their borders.
| |
| | 32 | He gave them hail for rain, With lightning in their land.
| |
| | 33 | He struck their vines and also their fig trees, And shattered the trees of their country.
| |
| | 34 | He spoke, and the locusts came, And the grasshoppers, without number,
| |
| | 35 | Ate up every plant in their land; Ate up the fruit of their ground.
| |
| | 36 | He struck also all the firstborn in their land, The chief of all their strength.
| |
| | 37 | He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
| |
| | 38 | Egypt was glad when they departed, For the fear of them had fallen on them.
| |
| | 39 | He spread a cloud for a covering, Fire to give light in the night.
| |
| | 40 | They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
| |
| | 41 | He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
| |
| | 42 | For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham, his servant.
| |
| | 43 | He brought forth his people with joy, His chosen with singing.
| |
| | 44 | He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
| |
| | 45 | That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise Yah! Psalm 106
