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

¹⁶ And He ^(M)called for a famine upon the land;
He ^(N)broke the whole staff of bread.
¹⁷ He ^(O)sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was ^(P)sold as a slave.
¹⁸ They afflicted his ^(Q)feet with fetters,
^[b]He himself was laid in irons;
¹⁹ Until the time that his ^(R)word came to pass,
The word of the Lord ^[c](S)tested him.
²⁰ The ^(T)king sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
²¹ He ^(U)made him lord of his house
And ruler over all his possessions,
²² To ^[d]imprison his princes ^[e](V)at will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.
^23 (W)Israel also came into Egypt;
Thus Jacob ^(X)sojourned in the land of Ham.
²⁴ And He ^(Y)caused His people to be very fruitful,
And made them stronger than their adversaries.

²⁵ He ^(Z)turned their heart to hate His people,
To ^(AA)deal craftily with His servants.
²⁶ He ^(AB)sent Moses His servant,
And ^(AC)Aaron, whom He had chosen.
²⁷ They ^[f](AD)performed His wondrous acts among them,
And miracles in the land of Ham.
²⁸ He ^(AE)sent darkness and made it dark;
And they did not ^(AF)rebel against His words.
²⁹ He ^(AG)turned their waters into blood
And caused their fish to die.
³⁰ Their land swarmed with ^(AH)frogs
Even in the ^(AI)chambers of their kings.
³¹ He spoke, and there came a ^(AJ)swarm of flies
And ^(AK)gnats in all their territory.
³² He ^[g]gave them ^(AL)hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
³³ He ^(AM)struck down their vines also and their fig trees,
And shattered the trees of their territory.
³⁴ He spoke, and ^(AN)locusts came,
And young locusts, even without number,
³⁵ And ate up all vegetation in their land,
And ate up the fruit of their ground.
³⁶ He also ^(AO)struck down all the firstborn in their land,
The ^(AP)first fruits of all their vigor.

³⁷ Then He brought them out with ^(AQ)silver and gold,
And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.
³⁸ Egypt was ^(AR)glad when they departed,
For the ^(AS)dread of them had fallen upon them.
³⁹ He spread a ^(AT)cloud for a ^[h]covering,
And ^(AU)fire to illumine by night.
^40 [i]They ^(AV)asked, and He brought ^(AW)quail,
And satisfied them with the ^[j](AX)bread of heaven.
⁴¹ He opened the ^[k]rock and ^(AY)water flowed out;
^[l]It ran in the dry places like a river.
⁴² For He ^(AZ)remembered His holy word
With Abraham His servant;
⁴³ And He brought forth His people with joy,
His chosen ones with a joyful ^(BA)shout.
⁴⁴ He ^(BB)gave them also the lands of the ^[m]nations,
That they ^(BC)might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
⁴⁵ So that they might ^(BD)keep His statutes
And observe His laws,
^[n]Praise ^[o]the Lord!

⁴² For He ^(A)remembered His holy word
With Abraham His servant;

⁴⁵ And He ^(A)remembered His covenant for their sake,
And ^[a](B)relented ^(C)according to the greatness of His lovingkindness.
