Tell of His Wonders

¹Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations. ²Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders. ³Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. ⁴Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always. ⁵Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced, ⁶O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

⁷He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth. ⁸He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations— ⁹the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac. ¹⁰He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant: ¹¹“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”

¹²When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land, ¹³they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another. ¹⁴He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf: ¹⁵“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

¹⁶He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food. ¹⁷He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave. ¹⁸They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons, ¹⁹until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right. ²⁰The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free. ²¹He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance, ²²to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

²³Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham. ²⁴And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes, ²⁵whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants. ²⁶He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen. ²⁷They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. ²⁸He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.

²⁹He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die. ³⁰Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers. ³¹He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country. ³²He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land. ³³He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country. ³⁴He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number. ³⁵They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil. ³⁶Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.

³⁷He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled. ³⁸Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them. ³⁹He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night. ⁴⁰They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. ⁴¹He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert. ⁴²For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant. ⁴³He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy. ⁴⁴He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor, ⁴⁵that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
