⁷ He is the Lord our God;
His judgments govern the whole earth.^(G)
8 He remembers His covenant forever,
the promise He ordained
for a thousand generations^(H)—
⁹ the covenant He made with Abraham,
swore^[b] to Isaac,^(I)
10 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree
and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:^(J)
11 “I will give the land of Canaan to you
as your inherited portion.”^(K)

¹² When they were few in number,
very few indeed,
and temporary residents in Canaan,^(L)
13 wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another,^(M)
14 He allowed no one to oppress them;
He rebuked kings on their behalf:^(N)
15 “Do not touch My anointed ones,^(O)
or harm My prophets.”^(P)

¹⁶ He called down famine against the land
and destroyed the entire food supply.^(Q)
17 He had sent a man ahead of them—
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.^(R)
18 They hurt his feet with shackles;
his neck was put in an iron collar.^(S)
19 Until the time his prediction came true,
the word of the Lord tested him.^(T)
20 The king sent for him and released him;
the ruler of peoples set him free.^(U)
21 He made him master of his household,
ruler over all his possessions^(V)—
²² binding^[c] his officials at will
and instructing his elders.^(W)

²³ Then Israel went to Egypt;
Jacob lived as a foreigner in the land of Ham.^[d](X)
24 The Lord^[e] made His people very fruitful;
He made them more numerous than their foes,^(Y)
25 whose hearts He turned to hate His people
and to deal deceptively with His servants.^(Z)
26 He sent Moses His servant,
and Aaron, whom He had chosen.^(AA)
27 They performed His miraculous signs among them,
and wonders in the land of Ham.^[f](AB)
28 He sent darkness, and it became dark—
for did they not defy^[g] His commands?^(AC)
29 He turned their water into blood
and caused their fish to die.^(AD)
30 Their land was overrun with frogs,
even in their royal chambers.^(AE)
31 He spoke, and insects came^(AF)—
gnats throughout their country.^(AG)
32 He gave them hail for rain,
and lightning throughout their land.^(AH)
33 He struck their vines and fig trees
and shattered the trees of their territory.^(AI)
34 He spoke, and locusts came—
young locusts without number.
³⁵ They devoured all the vegetation in their land
and consumed the produce of their land.^(AJ)
36 He struck all the firstborn in their land,
all their first progeny.^(AK)

³⁷ Then He brought Israel out with silver and gold,
and no one among His tribes stumbled.^(AL)
38 Egypt was glad when they left,
for the dread of Israel^[h] had fallen on them.^(AM)
39 He spread a cloud as a covering
and gave a fire to light up the night.^(AN)
40 They asked, and He brought quail
and satisfied them with bread from heaven.^(AO)
41 He opened a rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed like a stream in the desert.^(AP)
42 For He remembered His holy promise
to Abraham His servant.^(AQ)
43 He brought His people out with rejoicing,
His chosen ones with shouts of joy.^(AR)
44 He gave them the lands of the nations,
and they inherited
what other peoples had worked for.^(AS)

⁴⁵ All this happened
so that they might keep His statutes
and obey His instructions.^(AT)
Hallelujah!

⁴ For the Lord is great and is highly praised;
He is feared above all gods.^(E)
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.^(F)
6 Splendor and majesty are before Him;
strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.^(G)

⁷ Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.^(H)
8 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;^(I)
bring an offering and enter His courts.^(J)
9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness;^(K)
tremble before Him, all the earth.^(L)

¹⁰ Say among the nations: “The Lord reigns.^(M)
The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken.^(N)
He judges the peoples fairly.”^(O)
11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
let the sea and all that fills it resound.^(P)
12 Let the fields and everything in them exult.
Then all the trees of the forest will shout for joy^(Q)
13 before the Lord, for He is coming—
for He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness
and the peoples with His faithfulness.^(R)

⁸ Give thanks^(A) to Yahweh; call on His name;
proclaim His deeds among the peoples.^(B)
9 Sing to Him; sing praise to Him;
tell about all His wonderful works!
¹⁰ Honor His holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
¹¹ Search for the Lord and for His strength;
seek His face always.^(C)
12 Remember the wonderful works He has done,^(D)
His wonders, and the judgments He has pronounced,^[a](E)
13 you offspring of Israel His servant,
Jacob’s descendants—His chosen ones.

¹⁴ He is the Lord our God;
His judgments govern the whole earth.^(F)
15 Remember His covenant forever—
the promise He ordained for a thousand generations,
¹⁶ the covenant He made with Abraham,
swore^[b] to Isaac,^(G)
17 and confirmed to Jacob as a decree,
and to Israel as an everlasting covenant:^(H)
18 “I will give the land of Canaan to you
as your inherited portion.”^(I)

¹⁹ When they^[c] were few in number,
very few indeed,^(J) and temporary residents in Canaan
²⁰ wandering from nation to nation
and from one kingdom to another,
²¹ He allowed no one to oppress them;
He rebuked kings on their behalf:^(K)
22 “Do not touch My anointed ones
or harm My prophets.”^(L)

²³ Sing^(M) to the Lord, all the earth.
Proclaim His salvation from day to day.
²⁴ Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonderful works among all peoples.

²⁵ For the Lord is great and highly praised;^(N)
He is feared above all gods.^(O)
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,^(P)
but the Lord made the heavens.^(Q)
27 Splendor and majesty are before Him;
strength and joy are in His place.
²⁸ Ascribe to the Lord, families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
²⁹ Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
bring an offering and come before Him.
Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness;^(R)
30 tremble^(S) before Him, all the earth.

The world is firmly established;
it cannot be shaken.
³¹ Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice,^(T)
and let them say among the nations, “The Lord is King!”
³² Let the sea and everything in it resound;
let the fields and all that is in them exult.^(U)
33 Then the trees of the forest will shout for joy before the Lord,
for He is coming to judge the earth.

³⁴ Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His faithful love endures forever.^(V)
35 And say:^(W) “Save us, God of our salvation;
gather us and rescue us from the nations
so that we may give thanks to Your holy name
and rejoice in Your praise.
³⁶ May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised^(X)
from everlasting to everlasting.”
