⁸ 
He has remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded and established to a ^[a]thousand generations,
⁹ 
The covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His sworn oath to Isaac,^(B)
10 
Which He confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
¹¹ 
Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the measured portion of your inheritance.”
¹² 
When there were only a few men in number,
Very few [in fact], and strangers in it;
¹³ 
And they wandered from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people,
¹⁴ 
He allowed no man to oppress them;
He rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,^(C)
15 
“Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”^(D)

¹⁶ 
And He called for a famine upon the land [of Egypt];
He ^[b]cut off every source of bread.^(E)
17 
He sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.^(F)
18 
His feet they hurt with shackles;
^[c]He was put in chains of iron,
¹⁹ 
Until the time that his word [of prophecy regarding his brothers] came true,
The word of the Lord tested and refined him.
²⁰ 
The king sent and released him,
The ruler of the peoples [of Egypt], and set him free.
²¹ 
He made Joseph lord of his house
And ruler of all his possessions,^(G)
22 
To imprison his princes at his will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.
²³ 
Israel also came into Egypt;
Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.^(H)
24 
There the Lord greatly increased [the number of] His people,
And made them more powerful than their enemies.

²⁵ 
He turned the heart [of the Egyptians] to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.
²⁶ 
He sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron, whom He had chosen.
²⁷ 
They exhibited His wondrous signs among them,
Great miracles in the land of Ham (Egypt).
²⁸ 
He sent [thick, oppressive] darkness and made the land dark;
And Moses and Aaron did not rebel against His words.^(I)
29 
He turned Egypt’s waters into blood
And caused their fish to die.^(J)
30 
Their land swarmed with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.^(K)
31 
He spoke, and there came swarms of flies
And gnats in all their territory.^(L)
32 
He gave them hail for rain,
With flaming fire in their land.^(M)
33 
He struck their vines also and their fig trees,
And shattered the [ice-laden] trees of their territory.^(N)
34 
He spoke, and the [migratory] locusts came,
And the young locusts, even without number,^(O)
35 
And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.
³⁶ 
He also struck down all the firstborn in their land,
The first fruits and chief substance of all their strength.^(P)

³⁷ 
He brought the sons of Israel out [of Egypt] with silver and gold,
And among their tribes there was not one who stumbled.^(Q)
38 
Egypt was glad when they departed,
For the dread and fear of them had fallen on the Egyptians.^(R)
39 
The Lord spread a cloud as a covering [by day],
And a fire to illumine the night.^(S)
40 
The Israelites asked, and He brought quail,
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.^(T)
41 
He opened the rock and water flowed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.^(U)
42 
For He remembered His holy word
To Abraham His servant;^(V)
43 
He brought out His people with joy,
And His chosen ones with a joyful shout,
⁴⁴ 
He gave them the lands of the nations [of Canaan],
So that they would possess the fruits of those peoples’ labor,^(W)
45 
So that they might observe His precepts
And keep His laws [obediently accepting and honoring and valuing them].
Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!)
