1Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name, and make his deeds known among the people.1Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done.
2Sing to him! Praise him! Declare all his awesome deeds!2Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.
3Exult in his holy name; let all those who seek the LORD rejoice!3Exult in his holy name; rejoice, you who worship the LORD.
4Seek the LORD and his strength; seek his face continually.4Search for the LORD and for his strength; continually seek him.
5Remember his awesome deeds that he has done, his wonders and the judgments he declared.5Remember the wonders he has performed, his miracles, and the rulings he has given,
6You descendants of Abraham, his servant, You children of Jacob, his chosen ones.6you children of his servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7He is the LORD our God; his judgments extend to the entire earth.7He is the LORD our God. His justice is seen throughout the land.
8He remembers his eternal covenant— every promise he made for a thousand generations,8He always stands by his covenant— the commitment he made to a thousand generations.
9like the covenant he made with Abraham, and his promise to Isaac.9This is the covenant he made with Abraham and the oath he swore to Isaac.
10He presented it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant.10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to the people of Israel as a never-ending covenant:
11He said: "I will give Canaan to you as the allotted portion that is your inheritance."11“I will give you the land of Canaan as your special possession.”
12When the Hebrews were few in number—so very few— and were sojourners in it,12He said this when they were few in number, a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.
13they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. 13They wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14He did not allow anyone to oppress them, or any kings to reprove them.14Yet he did not let anyone oppress them. He warned kings on their behalf:
15"Don't touch my anointed or hurt my prophets!"15“Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.”
16He declared a famine on the land; destroying the entire food supply. 16He called for a famine on the land of Canaan, cutting off its food supply.
17He sent a man before them— Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.17Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them— Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18They bound his feet with fetters and placed an iron collar on his neck, 18They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar.
19until the time his prediction came true, as the word of the LORD refined him.19Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the LORD tested Joseph’s character.
20He sent a king who released him, a ruler of people who set him free.20Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free; the ruler of the nation opened his prison door.
21He made him the master over his household, the manager of all his possessions—21Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household; he became ruler over all the king’s possessions.
22to discipline his rulers at will and make his elders wise.22He could instruct the king’s aides as he pleased and teach the king’s advisers.
23Then Israel came to Egypt; indeed, Jacob lived in the land of Ham. 23Then Israel arrived in Egypt; Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.
24He caused his people to multiply greatly; and be more numerous than their enemies.24And the LORD multiplied the people of Israel until they became too mighty for their enemies.
25He caused them to hate his people and to deceive his servants.25Then he turned the Egyptians against the Israelites, and they plotted against the LORD’s servants.
26He sent his servant Moses, along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.26But the LORD sent his servant Moses, along with Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27They performed his signs among them, his wonders in the land of Ham. 27They performed miraculous signs among the Egyptians, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and it became dark. Did they not rebel against his words?28The LORD blanketed Egypt in darkness, for they had defied his commands to let his people go.
29He turned their water into blood, so that the fish died.29He turned their water into blood, poisoning all the fish.
30Their land swarmed with frogs even to the chambers of their kings.30Then frogs overran the land and even invaded the king’s bedrooms.
31He spoke, and a swarm of insects invaded their land. 31When the LORD spoke, flies descended on the Egyptians, and gnats swarmed across Egypt.
32He sent hail instead of rain, and lightning throughout their land.32He sent them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed over the land.
33It destroyed their vines and their figs, breaking trees throughout their country. 33He ruined their grapevines and fig trees and shattered all the trees.
34Then he commanded the locust to come— grasshoppers without number.34He spoke, and hordes of locusts came— young locusts beyond number.
35They consumed every green plant in their land, and devoured the fruit of their soil.35They ate up everything green in the land, destroying all the crops in their fields.
36He struck down every firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their progeny.36Then he killed the oldest son in each Egyptian home, the pride and joy of each family.
37Then he brought Israel out with silver and gold, and no one among his tribes stumbled.37The LORD brought his people out of Egypt, loaded with silver and gold; and not one among the tribes of Israel even stumbled.
38The Egyptians rejoiced when they left, because fear of Israel descended on them.38Egypt was glad when they were gone, for they feared them greatly.
39He spread out a cloud for a cover, and fire for light at night.39The LORD spread a cloud above them as a covering and gave them a great fire to light the darkness.
40Israel asked, and quail came; food from heaven satisfied them.40They asked for meat, and he sent them quail; he satisfied their hunger with manna—bread from heaven.
41He opened a rock, and water gushed out flowing like a river in the desert.41He split open a rock, and water gushed out to form a river through the dry wasteland.
42Indeed, he remembered his sacred promise to his servant Abraham.42For he remembered his sacred promise to his servant Abraham.
43He led his people out with gladness, his chosen ones with shouts of joy.43So he brought his people out of Egypt with joy, his chosen ones with rejoicing.
44He gave to them the land of nations; they inherited the labor of other people44He gave his people the lands of pagan nations, and they harvested crops that others had planted.
45so they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Hallelujah!45All this happened so they would follow his decrees and obey his instructions. Praise the LORD!
