## Remember His Wondrous Deeds
|
|
|
|
###### 1
|
|
Oh give thanks to Yahweh, call upon His name; Make known His acts among the peoples.
|
|
|
|
###### 2
|
|
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Muse on all His wondrous deeds.
|
|
|
|
###### 3
|
|
Boast in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh be glad.
|
|
|
|
###### 4
|
|
Inquire of Yahweh and His strength; Seek His face continually.
|
|
|
|
###### 5
|
|
Remember His wondrous deeds which He has done, His miracles and the judgments uttered by His mouth,
|
|
|
|
###### 6
|
|
O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
|
|
|
|
###### 7
|
|
He is Yahweh our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
|
|
|
|
###### 8
|
|
He has remembered His covenant forever, The word which He commanded for a thousand generations,
|
|
|
|
###### 9
|
|
Which He cut with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac.
|
|
|
|
###### 10
|
|
Then He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
|
|
|
|
###### 11
|
|
Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan As the portion of your inheritance,"
|
|
|
|
###### 12
|
|
When they were only a few men in number, Of little account, and sojourners in it.
|
|
|
|
###### 13
|
|
And they wandered about from nation to nation, From _one_ kingdom to another people.
|
|
|
|
###### 14
|
|
He permitted no man to oppress them, And He reproved kings for their sakes:
|
|
|
|
###### 15
|
|
"Do not touch My anointed ones, And to My prophets do no evil."
|
|
|
|
###### 16
|
|
And He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
|
|
|
|
###### 17
|
|
He sent a man before them, Joseph, _who_ was sold as a slave.
|
|
|
|
###### 18
|
|
They afflicted his feet with fetters, He himself was laid in irons;
|
|
|
|
###### 19
|
|
Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Yahweh refined him.
|
|
|
|
###### 20
|
|
The king sent and released him, The ruler of peoples _sent_ and set him free.
|
|
|
|
###### 21
|
|
He set him up as lord of his house And ruler over all his possessions,
|
|
|
|
###### 22
|
|
To imprison his princes at will, And that he might teach his elders wisdom.
|
|
|
|
###### 23
|
|
Then Israel came to Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
|
|
|
|
###### 24
|
|
And He caused His people to be very fruitful, And He caused them to be stronger than their adversaries.
|
|
|
|
###### 25
|
|
He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His slaves.
|
|
|
|
###### 26
|
|
He sent Moses His servant, _And_ Aaron, whom He had chosen.
|
|
|
|
###### 27
|
|
They set forth the words of His signs among them, And miracles in the land of Ham.
|
|
|
|
###### 28
|
|
He sent darkness and made _it_ dark; And they did not rebel against His words.
|
|
|
|
###### 29
|
|
He turned their waters into blood And caused their fish to die.
|
|
|
|
###### 30
|
|
Their land swarmed with frogs _Even_ in the chambers of their kings.
|
|
|
|
###### 31
|
|
He spoke, and there came a swarm of flies _And_ gnats in all their territory.
|
|
|
|
###### 32
|
|
He gave them hail for rain, _And_ flaming fire in their land.
|
|
|
|
###### 33
|
|
He also struck down their vines and their fig trees, And He shattered the trees of their territory.
|
|
|
|
###### 34
|
|
He spoke, and locusts came, And creeping locusts, without number,
|
|
|
|
###### 35
|
|
And they ate up all vegetation in their land, And they ate up the fruit of their ground.
|
|
|
|
###### 36
|
|
He also struck down all the firstborn in their land, The first of all their vigor.
|
|
|
|
###### 37
|
|
Then He brought them out with silver and gold, And there was none among His tribes who stumbled.
|
|
|
|
###### 38
|
|
Egypt was glad when they went out, For the dread of them had fallen upon them.
|
|
|
|
###### 39
|
|
He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light by night.
|
|
|
|
###### 40
|
|
They asked, and He brought quail, And He satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
|
|
|
|
###### 41
|
|
He opened the rock and water flowed out; It ran in the dry places _like_ a river.
|
|
|
|
###### 42
|
|
For He remembered His holy word _With_ Abraham His servant;
|
|
|
|
###### 43
|
|
And He brought His people out with joy, His chosen ones with a shout of joy.
|
|
|
|
###### 44
|
|
He gave them also the lands of the nations, That they might take possession of _the fruit of_ the peoples' labor,
|
|
|
|
###### 45
|
|
So that they might keep His statutes And observe His laws, Praise Yah!
