1Oh, give thanks unto the LORD; call upon His name; make known among the nations what He has done.
2Sing unto Him, sing psalms of praise unto Him; tell of all His wondrous works.
3Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of them who seek the LORD rejoice.
4Look to the LORD, and His strength; seek His face always.
5Remember His marvelous works that He has done; His miracles, and the judgments He has pronounced;
6O you descendants of Abraham, His servant, you children of Jacob, His chosen.
7He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
8He remembers His covenant forever, the promise which He made to a thousand generations.
9The covenant that He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac,
10Which He confirmed to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11When He said, “Unto you will I give the land of Canaan, as your inheritance”;
12When they were but a few in number; yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
13When they roamed from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another,
14He permitted no man to do them wrong; yea, He rebuked kings for their sakes,
15Saying, “Do not touch My anointed people, and do My prophets no harm”.
16Moreover, He called for a famine on the land; He depleted all their food supplies.
17He sent a man, Joseph, ahead them, who was sold for a servant,
18Whose feet they bruised with shackles; he was put in chains,
19Until the time when what He foretold came to pass; the word of the LORD tested and proved Joseph’s integrity.
20Then the king sent and released him, Pharoah, the ruler of the people, and set him free.
21He made him master of his house, and steward of all his substance,
22To instruct his princes at his pleasure; and teach his elders wisdom.
23Then when Israel came into Egypt; and Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24And the LORD increased His people greatly; and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal harshly with His servants.
26Then He sent Moses, His servant; and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27They performed His miraculous signs among them, His wonders in the land of Ham (Egypt).
28He filled Egypt with darkness, and made it dark; when they rebelled against His word.
29He turned their waters into blood, which killed their fish.
30He caused their land to be overrun with frogs that even invaded the chambers of their kings.
31He spoke, and various kinds of flies, and lice swarmed throughout Egypt.
32He gave them hail and lightning for rain in their land.
33Which struck their vineyards and fig trees; breaking the trees of their land.
34He spoke, and hordes of locusts and caterpillars beyond numbering came,
35That devoured all the herbs in their land, and their field crops.
36Then He struck dead all the first-born in their land, all their eldest children.
37He brought His people forth laden with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble person in any of their families.
38Egypt was glad when they departed; for the dread of them had gripped them.
39He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40His people asked, and He brought them quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41He opened the rock, and the water gushed out; it ran in the dry places like a river.
42For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham, His servant.
43And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen ones with gladness,
44And gave them the lands of the pagan nations; and they harvested what others had planted,
45That they might observe His statutes, and keep His laws. Praise you the LORD. Easy Reader Bible: Purple Letter Edition © 2023 by Jim Musser. Used by Permission. All rights Reserved. Bible Hub |
