1 O giue thankes vnto the Lord, call vpon his name: make knowen his deeds among the people.

2 Sing vnto him; sing Psalmes vnto him: talke yee of all his wondrous workes.

3 Glory yee in his holy name: let the heart of them reioyce, that seeke the Lord.

4 Seeke the Lord, and his strength: seeke his face euermore.

5 Remember his maruellous workes, that hee hath done: his wonders, and the iudgements of his mouth,

6 O yee seede of Abraham his seruant: yee children of Iacob his chosen.

7 He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are in all the earth.

8 He hath remembred his couenant for euer: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.

9 Which couenant he made with Abraham, and his oath vnto Isaac:

10 And confirmed the same vnto Iacob for a law: and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant:

11 Saying, Unto thee will I giue the land of Canaan: the lot of your inheritance.

12 When they were but a few men in number: yea very few, & strangers in it.

13 When they went from one nation to another: from one kingdome to another people.

14 He suffred no man to doe them wrong: yea he reproued kings for their sakes:

15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed; and doe my Prophets no harme.

16 Moreouer hee called for a famine vpon the land: he brake the whole staffe of bread.

17 Hee sent a man before them: euen Ioseph, who was sold for a seruant.

18 Whose feete they hurt with fetters: he was layd in iron.

19 Untill the time that his word came: the word of the Lord tried him.

20 The king sent and loosed him: euen the ruler of the people, and let him goe free.

21 Hee made him lord of his house: and ruler of all his substance:

22 To binde his princes at his pleasure: and teach his Senatours wisedome.

23 Israel also came into Egypt: and Iacob soiourned in the land of Ham.

24 And hee increased his people greatly: and made them stronger then their enemies.

25 He turned their heart to hate his people: to deale subtilly with his seruants.

26 Hee sent Moses his seruant: and Aaron whom he had chosen.

27 They shewed his signes among them: and wonders in the land of Ham.

28 Hee sent darknesse, and made it darke: and they rebelled not against his word.

29 Hee turned their waters into blood: and slew their fish.

30 The land brought foorth frogs in abundance: in the chambers of their kings.

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

32 Hee gaue them haile for raine: and flaming fire in their laud.

33 Hee smote their Uines also, and their figge trees: and brake the trees of their coastes.

34 He spake, and the locusts came: and catterpillers, and that without number,

35 And did eate vp all the herbes in their land: and deuoured the fruite of their ground.

36 Hee smote also all the first borne in their land: the chiefe of all their strength.

37 Hee brought them foorth also with siluer and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.

38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the feare of them fell vpon them.

39 He spread a cloud for a couering: and fire to giue light in the night.

40 The people asked, and he brought quailes: and satisfied them with the bread of heauen.

41 He opened the rocke, and the waters gushed out: they ranne in the dry places like a riuer.

42 For he remembred his holy promise: and Abraham his seruant.

43 And he brought forth his people with ioy: and his chosen with gladnesse:

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

45 That they might obserue his statutes, and keepe his Lawes, Praise ye the Lord.
