1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings.

1Give thanks to the LORD and call on his name; tell the nations what he has done.

2Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works.

2Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell everyone about all his wonderful miracles.

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

3Be proud of his holy name; let everyone who seeks the LORD be happy.

4Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.

4Look to the LORD and his strength; always seek to be in his presence.

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

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

6you descendants of his servant Abraham, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

7He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.

7He is the LORD our God; his justice is seen throughout the entire world.

8He always remembers his covenant, the promise he made for a thousand generations,

9The covenantwhich he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,

9the covenant he made with Abraham, and the oath he swore to Isaac.

10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

10He confirmed it to Jacob as a law, and to Israel as a promise that lasts forever,

11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;

11saying, 'I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion you will inherit.'

12When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.

12This was when they were small in number, only a few people, and strangers in the land.

13And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.

13They wandered from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another group of people.

14He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

14He did not let anyone mistreat them; he even warned kings on their behalf,

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

15saying, 'Do not touch my chosen ones, and do no harm to my prophets.'

16And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.

16He brought a famine on the land and destroyed their entire supply of food.

17He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:

17He sent a man ahead of them—Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid inchains ofiron,

18They hurt his feet with shackles and put his neck in an iron collar,

19Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.

19until what he had predicted finally happened; the word of the LORD proved him true.

20The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

20The king sent for him and set him free; the ruler of many peoples let him go.

21He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;

21He put him in charge of his palace and made him the ruler over all his possessions,

22To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.

22to instruct his princes however he pleased and to teach his elders wisdom.

23Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

31He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders.

31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and gnats throughout their whole country.

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

32He gave them hail instead of rain, and lightning flashed through their land.

33He struck their vines and their fig trees and shattered the trees of their countryside.

34He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,

34He spoke, and the locusts came—grasshoppers too many to count.

35They ate up every green plant in their land and devoured the crops in their fields.

44He gave them the lands of other nations, and they inherited what others had worked for,

45That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah.

45so that they might follow his rules and obey his laws. Praise the LORD!
