⁷ He is the Lord our God;
    his judgments extend to the entire earth.
⁸ He remembers his eternal covenant—
    every promise he made^[b] for a thousand generations,
⁹ like the covenant he made^[c] with Abraham,
    and his promise to Isaac.
¹⁰ He presented it to Jacob as a decree,
    to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
¹¹ He said: “I will give Canaan to you
    as the allotted portion that is your inheritance.”

¹² When the Hebrews^[d] were few in number—so very few—
    and were sojourners in it,
¹³ they wandered from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another.^[e]
14 He did not allow anyone to oppress them,
    or any kings to reprove them.
¹⁵ “Don’t touch my anointed
    or hurt my prophets!”

¹⁶ He declared a famine on the land;
    destroying the entire food supply.^[f]
17 He sent a man before them—
    Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.
¹⁸ They bound his feet with fetters
    and placed an iron collar on his neck,^[g]
19 until the time his prediction came true,
    as the word of the Lord refined him.
²⁰ He sent a king who released him,
    a ruler of people who set him free.
²¹ He made him the master over his household,
    the manager of all his possessions—
²² to discipline his rulers at will
    and make his elders wise.

²³ Then Israel came to Egypt;
    indeed, Jacob lived in the land of Ham.^[h]

²⁴ He caused his people to multiply greatly;
    and be more numerous than their enemies.
²⁵ He caused them^[i] to hate his people
    and to deceive his servants.
²⁶ He sent his servant Moses, along with Aaron,
    whom he had chosen.
²⁷ They performed his signs among them,
    his wonders in the land of Ham.^[j]

²⁸ He sent darkness, and it became dark.
    Did they not rebel against^[k] his words?
²⁹ He turned their water into blood,
    so that the fish died.
³⁰ Their land swarmed with frogs
    even to the chambers of their kings.
³¹ He spoke,
    and a swarm of insects invaded their land.^[l]

³² He sent hail instead of rain,
    and lightning throughout their land.
³³ It destroyed their vines and their figs,
    breaking trees throughout their country.^[m]
34 Then he commanded the locust to come—
    grasshoppers without number.
³⁵ They consumed every green plant in their land,
    and devoured the fruit of their soil.
³⁶ He struck down every firstborn in their land,
    the first fruits of all their progeny.

³⁷ Then he brought Israel^[n] out with silver and gold,
    and no one among his tribes stumbled.
³⁸ The Egyptians rejoiced when they left,
    because fear of Israel^[o] descended on them.
³⁹ He spread out a cloud for a cover,
    and fire for light at night.
⁴⁰ Israel^[p] asked, and quail came;
    food from heaven satisfied them.
⁴¹ He opened a rock, and water gushed out
    flowing like a river in the desert.

⁴² Indeed, he remembered his sacred promise
    to his servant Abraham.
⁴³ He led his people out with gladness,
    his chosen ones with shouts of joy.
⁴⁴ He gave to them the land of nations;
    they inherited the labor of other^[q] people
⁴⁵ so they might keep his statutes
    and observe his laws.
        Hallelujah!

⁴ For the Lord is great,
    and greatly to be praised;
        he is awesome above all gods.
⁵ For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.
⁶ Splendor and majesty are before him;
    might and beauty are in his sanctuary.
⁷ Ascribe to the Lord, you families of peoples,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
⁸ Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name,
    bring an offering and enter his courts!
⁹ Worship the Lord in holy splendor;
    tremble before him, all the earth.

¹⁰ Declare among the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
    Indeed, he established the world so that it will not falter.
        He will judge people fairly.
¹¹ The heavens will be glad
    and the earth will rejoice;
        even the sea and everything that fills it will roar.^[a]

¹² The field and all that is in it will rejoice;
    then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
¹³ in the Lord’s presence,
because he is coming;
    indeed, he will come to judge the earth.
He will judge the world fairly
    and its people reliably.

⁸ Give thanks to the Lord,
    calling on his name.
        Make what he has done known among the people.
⁹ Sing to him,
    sing psalms to him,
        and think^[c] about all of his miraculous deeds.
¹⁰ Find joy in his holy name;
    let the hearts of those who keep on seeking the Lord rejoice.
¹¹ Seek the Lord and his strength.
    Always look to him.^[d]
12 Keep remembering the awesome deeds that he has done,
    along with his miracles
        and the rulings that he has handed down,
¹³ you descendants of his servant Israel,
    you descendants of Jacob,
        the ones he has chosen.

¹⁴ He is the Lord our God.
    His justice is in all of the land.
¹⁵ Remember his covenant forever,
    his promise that he made to the thousandth generation,
¹⁶ the covenant^[e] that he made with Abraham,
    and the oath he swore to Isaac.
¹⁷ He confirmed it to Jacob in the form of an ordinance,
    an eternal covenant to Israel,
¹⁸ when he told Israel,
    “To you I will give the land of Canaan
        as your joyful inheritance.”^[f]

¹⁹ When you were few in number—
    very few, and strangers at that—
²⁰ wandering from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another,
²¹ he did not let anyone wrong them.
    He warned kings on their behalf,
²² “Don’t touch my chosen ones,
    and don’t hurt my prophets!”

²³ Let all the earth sing to the Lord!
    Day after day proclaim his deliverance!^[g]
24 Declare his glory among the nations,
    and his miraculous deeds to all people,
²⁵ because the Lord is great,
    and he is praised greatly!
        He is feared above every god.
²⁶ For all of the gods of the other^[h] nations are mere^[i] idols,
    but the Lord fashioned the heavens!
²⁷ Splendor and majesty surround him,
    and strength and joy fill his palace.^[j]

²⁸ Let the families of earth recognize the Lord—
    that he is glorious and powerful.
²⁹ Recognize the glory that is due the Lord!
    Bring your offering,
and come into his presence,
    worshiping the Lord in all of his holy splendor.
³⁰ Tremble in his presence, all the earth!
    Surely the inhabited world^[k] stands firm—
        it cannot be moved.

³¹ Let the heavens rejoice,
    and the earth be glad!
Say to the nations,
    “The Lord reigns!”
³² Let the sea roar
    along with everything that fills it!
Let the fields exult,
    along with everything in them!
³³ Then let the trees in the forest sing out in praise,
    for the Lord is coming to judge the world.

³⁴ Give thanks to the Lord,
    because he is good
        and because his gracious love is eternal!
³⁵ Call out,^[l] “Save us, God, you who delivers us!
    Gather us and rescue us from the nations!”
We will thank your holy name
    and rejoice as we praise you!
³⁶ Praise the Lord God of Israel,
    who lives from eternity to eternity!
