Give thanks unto the LORD, and call up- | -on his Name;

* tell the people what | things he hath done.

2 O let your songs be of | him, and praise him;

* and let your talking be of | all his wondrous works.

3 Rejoice in his | holy Name;

* let the heart of them re- | -joice that seek the LORD.

4 Seek the LORD | and his strength;

* seek his | face evermore.

5 Remember the marvellous works that | he hath done;

* his wonders, and the | judgments of his mouth;

6 O ye seed of Abra- | -ham his servant,

* ye | children• of •Jacob• his chosen.

7 He is the | LORD our God;

* his judgments | are in all the world.

8 He hath been alway mindful of his cove- | -nant and promise,

* that he made to a | thousand generations;

9 Even the covenant that he made with | Abraham;

* and the oath that he | sware unto Isaac;

10 And appointed the same unto Jacob | for a law,

* and to Israel for an | everlasting testament;

11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the | land of Canaan,

* the | lot of your inheritance:

12 When there were yet but a | few of them,

* and they | strangers in the land;

13 What time as they went from one nation | to another,

* from one kingdom | to another people;

14 He suffered no man to | do them wrong,

* but reproved even | kings for their sakes;

15 Touch not | mine anointed,

* and | do my •prophets• no harm.

16 Moreover, he called for a dearth up- | -on the land,

* and destroyed | all the• pro•vision• of bread.

17 But he had sent a | man before them,

* even Joseph, who was sold to | be a bond-servant;

18 Whose feet they hurt | in the stocks;

* the iron | entered •into• his soul;

19 Until the time came that his | cause was known:

* the word | of the LORD tried him.

20 The king sent, and de- | -livered him;

* the prince of the people | let him go free.

21 He made him lord also | of his house,

* and | ruler• of all his substance;

22 That he might inform his princes | after• his will,

* and | teach his •sena•tors wisdom.

23 Israel also came | into Egypt,

* and Jacob was a stranger | in the land of Ham.

24 And he increased his | people• exceedingly,

* and made them | stronger than their enemies;

25 Whose heart turned so, that they | hated• his people,

* and dealt un- | -truly with his servants.

26 Then sent he | Moses• his servant,

* and | Aaron• whom he had chosen.

27 And these showed his | tokens• among them,

* and wonders | in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness, and | it was dark;

* and they were not o- | -bedi•ent •unto• his word.

29 He turned their waters | into blood,

* and | slew their fish.

30 Their land | brought forth frogs;

* yea, even | in their kings' chambers.

31 He spake the word, and there came all | manner• of flies,

* and | lice in all their quarters.

32 He gave them hail- | -stones for rain;

* and flames of | fire in their land.

33 He smote their vines | also• and fig-trees;

* and destroyed the trees | that were in their coasts.

34 He spake the word, and the grasshoppers came, and cater- | -pillars• innumerable,

* and did eat up all the grass in their land, and devoured the | fruit of their ground.

35 He smote all the firstborn | in their land;

* even the | chief of all their strength.

36 He brought them forth also with | silver• and gold;

* there was not one feeble | person• among their tribes.

37 Egypt was glad at | their departing;

* for they | were afraid of them.

38 He spread out a cloud to | be a covering,

* and fire to give light | in the night season.

39 At their desire he | brought quails;

* and he filled them | with the bread of heaven.

40 He opened the rock of stone, and the waters | flowed out,

* so that rivers ran | in the dry places.

41 For why? he remembered his | holy promise;

* and | Abraham his servant.

42 And he brought forth his | people• with joy,

* and his | chosen with gladness;

43 And gave them the lands | of the heathen;

* and they took the labours of the | people in possession;

44 That they might | keep his statutes,

* and ob- | -serve his laws.

Glory be to the Father, and | to the Son,

* and | to the Holy Ghost,

As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever shall be,

* world without | end.  Amen.
