King James Reference Version

1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.

2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.

3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.

4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;

6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath (Genesis 26:3) unto Isaac;

10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

11 Saying, Unto (Genesis 12:7; Deuteronomy 34:4) thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:

12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers (Genesis 23:4; 1 Chronicles 29:15; Psalms 39:12; Psalms 119:19; Hebrews 11:9; 1 Peter 2:11) in it.

13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;

14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved (Genesis 12:17; Genesis 20:18; 1 Chronicles 16:21) kings for their sakes;

15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.

16 Moreover he called for a famine (Genesis 41:30; Genesis 47:13) upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, (Genesis 39:1) who was sold for a servant:

18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: (Genesis 39:20; 1 Peter 2:19) he was laid in iron:

19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

20 The king sent (Genesis 41:14) and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.

21 He made him (Genesis 41:41; Daniel 6:3; Acts 7:10) lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:

22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. (Genesis 10:6; 1 Chronicles 1:8; Psalms 78:51; Psalms 106:22)

24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

26 He sent (Exodus 3:10; Micah 6:4) Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders (Exodus 3:20; Exodus 7:3; Deuteronomy 6:22; Nehemiah 9:10; Psalms 135:9; Jeremiah 32:20; Acts 7:36) in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.

30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.

31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.

32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,

35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.

36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.

37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

42 For he remembered (Genesis 8:1; Genesis 19:29; Exodus 2:24; 1 Samuel 1:19; Psalms 136:23) his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:

44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
