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

And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.

He sent a man on ahead of them; Joseph was sold as a slave.

Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.

The king sent, and set him free, One having dominion over peoples, yet loosed he his bonds;

He appointed him lord to his household, And one having dominion over all he possessed;

To bind his chiefs in his soul, and to make his old men wise.

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.

They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

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

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

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

And he smote their vines, and their fig-trees, And brake in pieces the trees of their bounds;

And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

They asked, and he brought in the quail, - And, with the bread of the heavens, he satisfied them;

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

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

When he led his people out, they rejoiced; his chosen ones shouted with joy.

And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:

In order that they might observe his statutes, And, over his laws, might keep watch, Praise ye Yah.

Who is able to give an account of the great acts of the Lord, or to make clear all his praise?

Blessed are those who observe justice [by honoring God’s precepts],
Who practice righteousness at all times.

Remember me, O Jehovah, With the favour of Thy people, Look after me in Thy salvation.

That I may see the good of thy chosen, that I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that I may glory with thine inheritance.

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; but provoked him at the sea, even at the Red sea.

And he will rebuke in the sea of sedge, and it will be dried up: and he will lead them in the depths as the desert

And saved them from the hand of one full of hatred, And redeemed them out of the hand of the foe;

And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

And they believe in His words, they sing His praise,

But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert.

They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.

The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.

And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.

Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;

Wondrous works in the land of Ham, and terrible things by the Red sea.

Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

Then they despised the pleasant land [of Canaan];
They did not believe in His word nor rely on it,

But murmured in their tents, and hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD.

Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:

To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands.

And they were joined to Baal-peor, and took part in the offerings to the dead.

Thus they provoked him to anger with their inventions: and the plague brake in upon them.

This brought him a reward, an eternal gift.

And they moved him to wrath at the waters of Meribah, and it went ill with Moses on their account;

They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said;

They mixed in with the nations and learned their ways.

insomuch that they worshipped their idols, which turned to their own decay.

Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.

Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance.

Their enemies oppressed them, and had them in subjection.

Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.

Nevertheless he regarded their affliction, when he heard their cry:

And He remembered His covenant for their sake,
And relented [rescinding their sentence] according to the greatness of His lovingkindness [when they cried out to Him],

He caused all their conquerors to have pity on them.

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, from one age even unto another, And all the people, shall say, Amen! Praise ye Yah!

Let the redeemed of Jehovah say, Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.

And gathered them from the lands,
From the east and from the west,
From the north and from the south.

They wandered in the wilderness in a solitary way; they found no city to dwell in.

Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.

And causeth them to tread in a right way, To go unto a city of habitation.

He has satisfied the one who thirsts, filling the hungry with what is good.

Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron;

He broke their spirits with hard labor;
they stumbled, and there was no one to help.

Then they cried unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and brake their bands in sunder.

For he hath broken the gates of brass, and cut the bars of iron in sunder.

The perverse, by reason of their transgression, and on account of their iniquities, are afflicted;

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.

He sent them an assuring word and healed them; he rescued them from the pits where they were trapped.

And let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his works in joyful song.

They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters;

These see the works of the LORD, and his wonders in the deep.

And he speaketh, and there ariseth a tempestuous wind, which lifteth on high its rolling waves;

They go up to the heavens, they go down to the depths, Their soul in evil is melted.

They are turned here and there, rolling like a man who is full of wine; and all their wisdom comes to nothing.

Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he bringeth them out of their distresses.

They rejoiced when the waves grew quiet.
Then He guided them to the harbor they longed for.

Let them give thanks to the LORD for his gracious love and for his awesome deeds on behalf of mankind.

Let them exalt him also in the congregation of the people, and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

A productive land into a [barren] salt waste,
Because of the wickedness of those who dwell in it.

There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,

And put seed in the fields and make vine-gardens, to give them fruit.

He blessed them so that they became very numerous. He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number.

When they are diminished and bowed down (humbled)
Through oppression, misery, and sorrow,

He poureth contempt upon princes, and causeth them to wander in the wilderness, where there is no way.

Yet setteth he the poor on high from affliction, and maketh him families like a flock.

The upright see it and rejoice, but the mouth of an evil person is shut.

O God, my heart is steadfast [with confident faith];
I will sing, I will sing praises, even with my soul.

I will praise thee among the people of Jehovah, and I will play on the harp in the nations.
