Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. |
2
|
Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds. |
3
|
Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the LORD. |
4
|
Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him. |
5
|
Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given, |
6
|
you children of his servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones. |
7
|
He is the LORD our God. His justice is seen throughout the land. |
8
|
He always stands by his covenant-- the commitment he made to a thousand generations. |
9
|
This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac. |
10
|
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant: |
11
|
"I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession." |
12
|
He said this when they were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan. |
13
|
They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. |
14
|
Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf: |
15
|
"Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets." |
16
|
He called for a famine on the land of Canaan, cutting off its food supply. |
17
|
Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them-- Joseph, who was sold as a slave. |
18
|
They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. |
19
|
Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph's character. |
20
|
Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free; the ruler of the nation opened his prison door. |
21
|
Joseph was put in charge of all the king's household; he became ruler over all the king's possessions. |
22
|
He could instruct the king's aides as he pleased and teach the king's advisers. |
23
|
Then Israel arrived in Egypt; Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham. |
24
|
And the LORD multiplied the people of Israel until they became too mighty for their enemies. |
25
|
Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites, and they plotted against the LORD's servants. |
26
|
But the LORD sent his servant Moses, along with Aaron, whom he had chosen. |
27
|
They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians, and wonders in the land of Ham. |
28
|
The LORD blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied his commands to let his people go. |
29
|
He turned their water into blood, poisoning all the fish. |
30
|
Then frogs overran the land and even invaded the king's bedrooms. |
31
|
When the LORD spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians, and gnats swarmed across Egypt. |
32
|
He sent them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed over the land. |
33
|
He ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the trees. |
34
|
He spoke, and hordes of locusts came-- young locusts beyond number. |
35
|
They ate up everything green in the land, destroying all the crops in their fields. |
36
|
Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home, the pride and joy of each family. |
37
|
The LORD brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold; and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled. |
38
|
Egypt was glad when they were gone, for they feared them greatly. |
39
|
The LORD spread a cloud above them as a covering and gave them a great fire to light the darkness. |
40
|
They asked for meat, and he sent them quail; he satisfied their hunger with manna-- bread from heaven. |
41
|
He split open a rock, and water gushed out to form a river through the dry wasteland. |
42
|
For he remembered his sacred promise to his servant Abraham. |
43
|
So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy, his chosen ones with rejoicing. |
44
|
He gave his people the lands of pagan nations, and they harvested crops that others had planted. |
45
|
All this happened so they would follow his decrees and obey his instructions. Praise the LORD! |
