Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Isa 12:4Psa 145:11-12Rom 10:13Psa 106:11Ch 16:34Psa 145:4-6Psa 96:31Ch 29:13
make known His deeds among the nations.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; Isa 12:5-6Psa 119:27Psa 77:12Psa 98:5Psa 98:1Eph 5:19Psa 78:4-6Deu 6:6-9
tell of all His wonders.
Glory in His holy name; Lam 3:25Gal 6:141Co 1:29Pro 8:171Co 1:31Isa 45:25Jer 9:23-24Luk 11:9-10
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Seek out the LORD and His strength; Psa 27:8Zep 2:2-32Ch 6:41Amo 5:4-6Psa 132:8Psa 78:61
seek His face always.
Remember the wonders He has done, Psa 77:11Psa 119:13Deu 32:7Luk 22:19Isa 43:18-19Deu 8:2Psa 40:5Rev 16:7
His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
O offspring of His servant Abraham, Isa 44:1-2Jhn 15:161Pe 2:9Isa 41:8Deu 7:6-8Exo 3:6Isa 41:14Psa 105:42
O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
He is the LORD our God; Isa 26:9Deu 26:17-18Exo 20:2Psa 95:7Rev 15:4Deu 29:10-15Gen 17:7Jos 24:15-24
His judgments carry throughout the earth.
He remembers His covenant forever, Deu 7:9Luk 1:72-74Psa 106:45Psa 111:51Ch 16:15Psa 105:42Dan 9:4Neh 1:5
the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
the covenant He made with Abraham, Gen 17:2Gen 22:16-18Gen 26:3Heb 6:17Act 7:8Gal 3:17Gen 12:7Gen 28:13
and the oath He swore to Isaac.
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, 2Sa 23:5Gen 17:7-8Gen 28:13-15Heb 13:20
to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
“I will give you the land of Canaan Gen 13:15Gen 15:18Psa 78:55Gen 12:7Gen 26:3-4Gen 28:13
as the portion of your inheritance.”
When they were few in number, Deu 7:7Gen 34:30Heb 11:9Gen 23:4Deu 26:5Act 7:5Ezk 33:24-33Gen 17:8
few indeed, and strangers in the land,
they wandered from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another.
He let no man oppress them; Gen 35:5Exo 7:16-17Gen 12:14-17Gen 20:1-7Gen 26:14-33Gen 31:24-29
He rebuked kings on their behalf:
“Do not touch My anointed ones! Zec 2:8Gen 26:11Gen 20:71Jn 2:27Gen 49:8-33Gen 48:19-20Gen 27:39-401Ki 19:16
Do no harm to My prophets!”
He called down famine on the land Ezk 4:16Isa 3:1Gen 41:54Lev 26:26Act 7:112Ki 8:1Gen 47:13Psa 104:15
and cut off all their supplies 1of food.
He sent a man before them— Act 7:9Gen 37:36Gen 45:4-5Gen 50:20Gen 37:27-28Gen 39:1Gen 45:7-8
Joseph, sold as a slave.
They bruised his feet with shackles Act 16:24Gen 39:20Gen 40:15Psa 107:10
and placed his neck in irons,
until his prediction came true Act 7:10Pro 21:1Gen 40:20-21Dan 2:30Gen 41:11-16Gen 41:25Psa 44:4
and the word of the LORD proved him right.
The king sent and released him; Gen 41:14
the ruler of peoples set him free.
He made him master of his household, Gen 41:40-44Gen 41:55Gen 45:26Gen 45:8
ruler over all his substance,
to instruct 2his princes as he pleased Gen 41:33Gen 41:38Gen 41:44Isa 19:11
and teach his elders wisdom.
Then Israel entered Egypt; Act 13:17Act 7:11-15Psa 106:22Psa 78:51Gen 45:9-11Gen 46:2-7Gen 47:6-9Gen 10:6
Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
And the LORD made His people very fruitful, Act 7:17Deu 26:5Exo 1:7-9Exo 12:37Gen 46:3Heb 11:12Gen 13:16
more numerous than their foes,
whose hearts He turned to hate His people, Act 7:19Gen 15:13Exo 9:16Exo 1:16Rom 9:17-19Deu 2:30Exo 1:8-14Exo 10:1
to conspire against His servants.
He sent Moses His servant, Exo 3:10Exo 28:1-2Exo 28:12Exo 28:29-38Exo 29:5-46Exo 7:1Num 16:401Sa 12:6
and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
They performed His miraculous signs among them, Psa 78:43-51Neh 9:10-11Isa 63:11-12Jer 32:20-21Deu 4:34Exo 7:1-11Psa 105:23Psa 105:28
and wonders in the land of Ham.
He sent darkness, and it became dark— Psa 99:72Pe 2:172Pe 2:4Jol 2:31Luk 23:44-45Exo 10:21-23Ezk 2:4-8Jol 2:2
yet they defied His words. 3
He turned their waters to blood Exo 7:20-21Psa 78:44Rev 16:3Ezk 29:4-5Isa 50:2
and caused their fish to die.
Their land teemed with frogs, Exo 8:3-14Rev 16:13-14Psa 78:45
even in their royal chambers.
He spoke, and insects swarmed— Exo 8:21-24Exo 8:16-18Isa 7:18Psa 78:45
gnats throughout their country.
He gave them hail for rain, Psa 78:47-48Exo 9:18-28Rev 11:19Rev 16:21Rev 8:7
with lightning throughout their land.
He struck their vines and fig trees Psa 78:47Rev 9:4
and shattered the trees of their country.
He spoke, and the locusts came— Exo 10:12-15Jol 2:25Psa 78:46Jol 1:4-7Rev 9:3-10
young locusts without number.
They devoured every plant in their land
and consumed the produce of their soil.
Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, Gen 49:3Heb 11:28Psa 136:10Exo 11:4-5Exo 12:12Exo 12:29-30Exo 4:23Psa 135:8
the firstfruits of all their vigor.
He brought Israel out with silver and gold, Exo 12:35-36Exo 3:22Act 13:17Gen 15:14
and none among His tribes stumbled.
Egypt was glad when they departed, Exo 12:33Exo 15:16Jos 2:9Gen 35:5Exo 10:7
for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
He spread a cloud as a covering Neh 9:12Isa 4:5Psa 78:14Exo 13:21-22Exo 14:24Neh 9:191Co 10:1-2Num 9:15-22
and a fire to light up the night.
They asked, and He brought quail Psa 78:18Deu 8:3Jhn 6:31-33Jhn 6:48-58Jos 5:12Neh 9:20Num 11:31-33Psa 78:23-28
and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
He opened a rock, and water gushed out; 1Co 10:4Num 20:11Exo 17:6Isa 48:21Psa 114:8Psa 78:15-16Psa 78:20Neh 9:15
it flowed like a river in the desert.
For He remembered His holy promise Exo 2:24Luk 1:72-73Gen 12:7Luk 1:54-55Exo 32:13Gen 13:14-17Mic 7:20Deu 9:27
to Abraham His servant.
He brought forth His people with rejoicing, Isa 35:10Act 13:17Act 7:36Isa 55:12Jer 31:11-12Deu 4:37-38Exo 15:1-21Isa 51:10-11
His chosen with shouts of joy.
He gave them the lands of the nations, Jos 24:13Psa 78:55Deu 6:10-11Jos 11:23Jos 24:8Psa 44:2-3Jos 23:4Neh 9:22-25
that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
that they might keep His statutes Deu 4:40Tit 2:14Eph 2:8-10Deu 4:1Psa 106:1Rev 19:3-4Deu 5:33Deu 6:21-25
and obey His laws.
Hallelujah! 4
