Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord, and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.
—
Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful works.
—
Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord rejoice.
—
Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
—
Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
—
[ye] seed of Abraam, his servants, [ye] children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
—
He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
—
He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded for a thousand generations:
—
which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his oath to Isaac.
—
And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant;
—
saying, To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your inheritance:
—
when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
—
And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to another people.
—
He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their sakes:
—
[saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
—
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole support of bread.
—
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
—
They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
—
until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him as fire.
—
The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and let him go free.
—
He made him lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
—
to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
—
Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
—
And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their enemies.
—
And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.
—
He sent forth Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
—
He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of Cham.
—
He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against his words.
—
He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
—
Their land produced frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.
—
He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
—
He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their land.
—
And he smote their vines and their fig-trees; and broke every tree of their coast.
—
He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
—
and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
—
He smote also every first-born of their land, the first-fruits of all their labour.
—
And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a feeble one among their tribes.
—
Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon them.
—
He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them light by night.
—
They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
—
He clave the rock, and the waters flowed; rivers ran in dry places.
—
For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his servant.
—
And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with joy;
—
and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the labours of the people;
—
that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law.
