[1] Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among
the peoples. [2] Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his
marvelous works. [3] Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of them
rejoice who seek Yahweh. [4] Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face
forever more. [5] Remember his marvelous works that he has done; His
wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, [6] You seed of Abraham, his
servant, You children 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 to a thousand generations,
[9] The covenant which he made with Abraham, His oath to Isaac, [10] And
confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; To Israel for an everlasting
covenant, [11] Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, The lot
of your inheritance;" [12] When they were but a few men in number, Yes,
very few, and sojourners in it. [13] They went about from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people. [14] He allowed no one to do them
wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, [15] "Don`t touch my
anointed ones. Do my prophets no harm." [16] He called for a famine on
the land. He destroyed the food supplies. [17] He sent a man before
them. Joseph was sold for a slave. [18] They bruised his feet with
shackles. His neck was locked in irons, [19] Until the time that his
word happened, And Yahweh`s word proved him true. [20] The king sent and
freed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. [21] He made
him lord of his house, And ruler of all of his possessions; [22] To
discipline his princes at his pleasure, And to teach his elders wisdom.
[23] Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
[24] He increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their
adversaries. [25] He turned their heart to hate his people, To conspire
against his servants. [26] He sent Moses, his servant, And Aaron, whom
he had chosen. [27] They performed miracles among them, And wonders in
the land of Ham. [28] He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn`t
rebel against his words. [29] He turned their waters into blood, And
killed their fish. [30] Their land swarmed with frogs, Even in the
chambers of their kings. [31] He spoke, and swarms of flies came, And
lice in all their borders. [32] He gave them hail for rain, With
lightning in their land. [33] He struck their vines and also their fig
trees, And shattered the trees of their country. [34] He spoke, and the
locusts came, And the grasshoppers, without number, [35] Ate up every
plant in their land; Ate up the fruit of their ground. [36] He struck
also all the firstborn in their land, The chief of all their strength.
[37] He brought them forth with silver and gold. There was not one
feeble person among his tribes. [38] Egypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen on them. [39] He spread a cloud for a
covering, Fire to give light in the night. [40] They asked, and he
brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of the sky. [41] He
opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry
places. [42] For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham, his servant.
[43] He brought forth his people with joy, His chosen with singing. [44]
He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the
peoples in possession, [45] That they might keep his statutes, And
observe his laws. Praise Yah! Psalm 106
