1051 Oh give thanks to the Lord , call upon His name ; Make known His deeds among the peoples . 2 Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Speak of all His wonders . 3 Glory in His holy name ; Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad . 4 Seek the Lord and His strength ; Seek His face continually . 5 Remember His wonders which He has done , His marvels and the judgments uttered by His mouth , 6 O seed of Abraham , His servant , O sons of Jacob , His chosen ones ! 7 He is the Lord 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 , And His oath to Isaac . 10 Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute , To Israel as an everlasting covenant , 11 Saying , " To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance ," 12 When they were only a few men in number , Very few , and strangers in it. 13 And they wandered about from nation to nation , From one kingdom to another people . 14 He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes : 15 " Do not touch My anointed ones , And do My prophets no harm ." 16 And He called for a famine upon the land ; He broke the whole staff of bread . 17 He sent a man before them, Joseph , who was sold as a slave . 18 They afflicted his feet with fetters , He himself was laid in irons ; 19 Until the time that his word came to pass , The word of the Lord tested him. 20 The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples , and set him free . 21 He made him lord of his house And ruler over all his possessions , 22 To imprison his princes at will , That he might teach his elders wisdom . 23 Israel also came into Egypt ; Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham . 24 And He caused His people to be very fruitful , And made them stronger than their adversaries .
25 He turned their heart to hate His people , To deal craftily with His servants . 26 He sent Moses His servant , And Aaron , whom He had chosen . 27 They performed His wondrous acts among them, And miracles in the land of Ham . 28 He sent darkness and made it dark ; And they did not rebel against His words . 29 He turned their waters into blood And caused their fish to die . 30 Their land swarmed with frogs Even in the chambers of their kings . 31 He spoke , and there came a swarm of flies And gnats in all their territory . 32 He gave them hail for rain , And flaming fire in their land . 33 He struck down their vines also and their fig trees , And shattered the trees of their territory . 34 He spoke , and locusts came , And young locusts , even without number , 35 And ate up all vegetation in their land , And ate up the fruit of their ground . 36 He also struck down all the firstborn in their land , The first fruits of all their vigor . 37 Then He brought them out with silver and gold , And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled . 38 Egypt was glad when they departed , For the dread of them had fallen upon them. 39 He spread a cloud for a covering , And fire to illumine by night . 40 They asked , and He brought quail , And satisfied them with the bread of heaven . 41 He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places like a river . 42 For He remembered His holy word With Abraham His servant ; 43 And He brought forth His people with joy , His chosen ones with a joyful shout . 44 He gave them also the lands of the nations , That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples' labor , 45 So that they might keep His statutes And observe His laws , Praise the Lord !
