Tell of All His Wondrous Works

¹tOh give thanks to the Lord; ucall upon his name;

vmake known his deeds among the peoples!

²Sing to him, sing praises to him;

wtell of all his wondrous works!

³Glory in his holy name;

let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

⁴Seek the Lord and his xstrength;

yseek his presence continually!

⁵Remember the zwondrous works that he has done,

his miracles, and athe judgments he uttered,

⁶O offspring of bAbraham, his servant,

children of Jacob, his cchosen ones!

⁷He is the Lord our God;

his djudgments are in all the earth.

⁸He eremembers his covenant forever,

the word that he commanded, for fa thousand generations,

⁹gthe covenant that he made with Abraham,

his hsworn promise to Isaac,

¹⁰which he confirmed to iJacob as a statute,

to Israel as an everlasting covenant,

¹¹saying, j“To you I will give the land of Canaan

as kyour portion for an inheritance.”

¹²When they were lfew in number,

of little account, and msojourners in it,

¹³wandering from nation to nation,

from one kingdom to another people,

¹⁴he nallowed no one to oppress them;

he orebuked kings on their account,

¹⁵saying, p“Touch not my anointed ones,

do my prophets no harm!”

¹⁶When he qsummoned a famine on the land

and rbroke all supply1 of bread,

¹⁷he had ssent a man ahead of them,

Joseph, who was tsold as a slave.

¹⁸His ufeet were hurt with fetters;

his neck was put in a collar of iron;

¹⁹until vwhat he had said came to pass,

the word of the Lord wtested him.

²⁰xThe king sent and yreleased him;

the ruler of the peoples set him free;

²¹he zmade him lord of his house

and ruler of all his possessions,

²²to bind2 his princes at his pleasure

and to teach his elders wisdom.

²³Then aIsrael came to Egypt;

Jacob bsojourned in cthe land of Ham.

²⁴And the Lord dmade his people very fruitful

and made them stronger than their foes.

²⁵He eturned their hearts to hate his people,

to fdeal craftily with his servants.

²⁶He gsent Moses, his servant,

and Aaron, hwhom he had chosen.

²⁷iThey performed his signs among them

and miracles in cthe land of Ham.

²⁸He jsent darkness, and made the land dark;

they kdid not rebel3 against his words.

²⁹He turned their waters into blood

and lcaused their fish to die.

³⁰Their land swarmed with frogs,

even in mthe chambers of their kings.

³¹He spoke, and there came nswarms of flies,

oand gnats throughout their country.

³²He gave them hail for rain,

and fiery plightning bolts through their land.

³³He struck down their vines and fig trees,

and qshattered the trees of their country.

³⁴He spoke, and the rlocusts came,

young locusts without number,

³⁵which devoured all the vegetation in their land

and ate up the fruit of their ground.

³⁶He sstruck down all the firstborn in their land,

sthe firstfruits of all their strength.

³⁷Then he brought out Israel with tsilver and gold,

and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.

³⁸uEgypt was glad when they departed,

for vdread of them had fallen upon it.

³⁹He wspread a cloud for a covering,

and fire to give light by night.

⁴⁰xThey asked, and he ybrought quail,

and gave them zbread from heaven in abundance.

⁴¹He opened the rock, and awater gushed out;

it flowed through bthe desert like a river.

⁴²For he cremembered his holy promise,

and dAbraham, his servant.

⁴³So he brought his people out with joy,

his dchosen ones with esinging.

⁴⁴And he fgave them the lands of the nations,

and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,

⁴⁵that they might gkeep his statutes

and hobserve his laws.

iPraise the Lord!
