¹² When they were ^(A)few in number,
    of little account, and ^(B)sojourners in it,
¹³ wandering from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another people,
¹⁴ he ^(C)allowed no one to oppress them;
    he ^(D)rebuked kings on their account,
¹⁵ saying, ^(E)“Touch not my anointed ones,
    do my prophets no harm!”

¹⁶ When he ^(F)summoned a famine on the land
    and ^(G)broke all supply^[a] of bread,
¹⁷ he had ^(H)sent a man ahead of them,
    Joseph, who was ^(I)sold as a slave.
¹⁸ His ^(J)feet were hurt with fetters;
    his neck was put in a collar of iron;
¹⁹ until ^(K)what he had said came to pass,
    the word of the Lord ^(L)tested him.
^20 (M)The king sent and ^(N)released him;
    the ruler of the peoples set him free;
²¹ he ^(O)made him lord of his house
    and ruler of all his possessions,
²² to bind^[b] his princes at his pleasure
    and to teach his elders wisdom.

²³ Then ^(P)Israel came to Egypt;
    Jacob ^(Q)sojourned in ^(R)the land of Ham.
²⁴ And the Lord ^(S)made his people very fruitful
    and made them stronger than their foes.
²⁵ He ^(T)turned their hearts to hate his people,
    to ^(U)deal craftily with his servants.

²⁶ He ^(V)sent Moses, his servant,
    and Aaron, ^(W)whom he had chosen.
^27 (X)They performed his signs among them
    and miracles in ^(Y)the land of Ham.
²⁸ He ^(Z)sent darkness, and made the land dark;
    they ^(AA)did not rebel^[c] against his words.
²⁹ He turned their waters into blood
    and ^(AB)caused their fish to die.
³⁰ Their land swarmed with frogs,
    even in ^(AC)the chambers of their kings.
³¹ He spoke, and there came ^(AD)swarms of flies,
    ^(AE)and gnats throughout their country.
³² He gave them hail for rain,
    and fiery ^(AF)lightning bolts through their land.
³³ He struck down their vines and fig trees,
    and ^(AG)shattered the trees of their country.
³⁴ He spoke, and the ^(AH)locusts came,
    young locusts without number,
³⁵ which devoured all the vegetation in their land
    and ate up the fruit of their ground.
³⁶ He ^(AI)struck down all the firstborn in their land,
    ^(AJ)the firstfruits of all their strength.

³⁷ Then he brought out Israel with ^(AK)silver and gold,
    and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
^38 (AL)Egypt was glad when they departed,
    for ^(AM)dread of them had fallen upon it.

³⁹ He ^(AN)spread a cloud for a covering,
    and fire to give light by night.
^40 (AO)They asked, and he ^(AP)brought quail,
    and gave them ^(AQ)bread from heaven in abundance.
⁴¹ He opened the rock, and ^(AR)water gushed out;
    it flowed through ^(AS)the desert like a river.
⁴² For he ^(AT)remembered his holy promise,
    and ^(AU)Abraham, his servant.

⁴³ So he brought his people out with joy,
    his ^(AV)chosen ones with ^(AW)singing.
⁴⁴ And he ^(AX)gave them the lands of the nations,
    and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,

⁵ For I know that ^(C)the Lord is great,
    and that our Lord is above all gods.
^6 (D)Whatever the Lord pleases, he does,
    in heaven and on earth,
    in the seas and all deeps.
^7 (E)He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth,
    who ^(F)makes lightnings for the rain
    and brings forth the wind from his ^(G)storehouses.

⁸ He it was who ^(H)struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
    both of man and of beast;
⁹ who in your midst, O Egypt,
    sent ^(I)signs and wonders
    against Pharaoh and all his servants;
^10 (J)who struck down many nations
    and killed mighty kings,
^11 (K)Sihon, king of the Amorites,
    and ^(L)Og, king of Bashan,
    and ^(M)all the kingdoms of Canaan,
¹² and ^(N)gave their land as a heritage,
    a heritage to his people Israel.

¹⁰ to him who ^(A)struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
¹¹ and ^(B)brought Israel out from among them,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
¹² with ^(C)a strong hand and an outstretched arm,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
¹³ to him who ^(D)divided the Red Sea in two,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
^14 (E)and made Israel pass through the midst of it,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
¹⁵ but ^(F)overthrew^[a] Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
¹⁶ to him who ^(G)led his people through the wilderness,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;

¹⁷ to him ^(H)who struck down great kings,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
¹⁸ and killed mighty kings,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
¹⁹ Sihon, king of the Amorites,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
²⁰ and Og, king of Bashan,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
²¹ and gave their land as a heritage,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
²² a heritage to Israel his ^(I)servant,
    for his steadfast love endures forever.

²³ It is he who ^(J)remembered us in our low estate,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
²⁴ and ^(K)rescued us from our foes,
    for his steadfast love endures forever;
