Tell of His Wonderful Works!

(1 Chronicles 16:7-36; Psalm 95:1-11; Psalm 106:1-48)

1Give ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.

2Sing ye to Him -- sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.

3Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.

4Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.

5Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.

6O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

7He is Jehovah our God, In all the earth are His judgments.

8He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,

9That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,

10And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel -- a covenant age-during,

11Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'

12In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.

13And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.

14He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.

15'Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'

16And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.

17He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.

18They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,

19Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.

20The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.

21He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.

22To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.

23And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.

24And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.

25He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.

26He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.

27They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

28He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.

29He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.

30Teemed hath their land with frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.

31He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.

32He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire is in their land.

33And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.

34He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm -- innumerable,

35And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.

36And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,

37And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.

38Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.

39He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.

40They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And with bread of heaven satisfieth them.

41He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places -- a river.

42For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,

43And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.

44And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,

45That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
