1 Acclaim Yahweh! Call on His Name! Make known His actions among the peoples!
2 Sing to Him! Make melody to Him! Meditate on all His marvelous works!
3 Boast in His holy Name! Let the heart of those seeking Yahweh rejoice.
4 Seek after Yahweh and His strength; Seek His face continually.
5 Remember His marvelous works that He has done, His miracles and the judgments of His mouth,
6 O seed of Israel, His servants, Sons of Jacob, His chosen ones."
7 He is Yahweh, our Elohim; His judgments are in all the earth."
8 He remembers His covenant for the eon, The word He enjoined on a thousand generations,
9 That He contracted with Abraham, And by His oath to Isaac."
10 He ratified it to Jacob as a statute, To Israel as a covenant eonian."
11 Saying, To you shall I give the land of Canaan, The region of your allotment."
12 When they became few adult males in number, Only a few, and sojourners in it,
13 Then they walked from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people."
14 He would not permit any man to exploit them, And on their behalf He reproved kings:"
15 Saying, You must not touch My anointed ones, And to My prophets you must not do evil!"
16 He called forth a famine on the earth; He broke off the entire stock of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave."
18 They humbled his feet in fetters; His soul was inserted in iron
19 Until the era when His word came to pass, When the saying of Yahweh had refined him."
20 The king sent and let him loose; The ruler of the peoples opened his way.
21 He constituted him lord over his house And ruler among all his acquisitions,
22 To discipline his chiefs at his soul's desire, So that he should make his elders wise."
23 Then Israel came down to Egypt, And Jacob sojourned in the country of Ham."
24 Then He made His people exceedingly fruitful And made them more plentiful than their foes.
25 He turned their heart to hate His people, To plot against His servants."
26 He sent Moses, His servant, And Aaron whom He had chosen."
27 He placed the words of His signs before them, And His miracles before the country of Ham."
28 He sent darkness, and it became very dark, And they could not defy His words."
29 He turned their waters to blood, And He put their fish to death."
30 Their country swarmed with frogs, Into the chambers of their kings."
31 He spoke, and there came a mixture of flies, Lice in all their territory."
32 He turned their downpours to hail, With fiery bolts blazing in their country."
33 He smote their vines and their fig trees, And He broke down the trees of their territory."
34 He spoke, and the locust came, And the young-locust and they were without number."
35 It devoured all the herbage in their country And devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 Then He smote all the firstborn in their country, The beginning of all their virility."
37 Thus He brought His people forth with silver and gold, And there was no one stumbling among their tribes."
38 Egypt rejoiced at their going forth, For alarm over them had fallen upon them."
39 He spread a cloud as a blanket, And a fire to light up the night."
40 They asked, and He brought forth quail, And He satisfied them with bread from the heavens."
41 He opened a rock, and waters gushed out; They flowed into the arid places as a stream."
42 For He was mindful of His holy word With Abraham, His servant,
43 And He brought His people forth with elation, His chosen ones with jubilant song."
44 He gave the countries of the nations to them, And they took over the toil of the national groups,
45 In order that they should keep His statutes And should preserve His laws. Praise Yah!
