He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.

Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.

Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.

He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.

And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.

Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.

Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.

Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:

Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.

Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;

He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.

And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:

He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,

A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.

His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;

At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.

Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.

He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.

So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.

The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;

His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.

He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.

At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,

And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;

Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:

He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.

He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.

Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.

And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.

He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.

He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.

And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;

To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.

Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.

At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.

The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.

He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.

And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.
