1 O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.

1 הֹוד֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה קִרְא֣וּ בִּשְׁמֹ֑ו הֹודִ֥יעוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִילֹותָֽיו׃

2 Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

2 שִֽׁירוּ־לֹ֖ו זַמְּרוּ־לֹ֑ו יחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאֹותָֽיו׃

3 Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.

3 הִֽ֭תְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֹׁ֑ו יִ֝שְׂמַ֗ח לֵ֤ב׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י יְהוָֽה׃

4 Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.

4 דִּרְשׁ֣וּ יְהוָ֣ה וְעֻזֹּ֑ו בַּקְּשׁ֖וּ פָנָ֣יו תָּמִֽיד׃

5 Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;

5 זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹותָ֥יו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֑ה מֹ֝פְתָ֗יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃

6 O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.

6 זֶ֭רַע אַבְרָהָ֣ם עַבְדֹּ֑ו בְּנֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃

7 He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.

7 ה֭וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ בְּכָל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃

8 He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

8 זָכַ֣ר לְעֹולָ֣ם בְּרִיתֹ֑ו דָּבָ֥ר צִ֝וָּ֗ה לְאֶ֣לֶף דֹּֽור׃

9 The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

9 אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּ֭רַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֑ם וּשְׁב֖וּעָתֹ֣ו לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃

10 And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

10 וַיַּֽעֲמִידֶ֣הָ לְיַעֲקֹ֣ב לְחֹ֑ק לְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל בְּרִ֣ית עֹולָֽם׃

11 Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:

11 לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֗ אֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָ֑עַן חֶ֝֗בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃

12 When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;

12 בִּֽ֭הְיֹותָם מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֑ר כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃

13 When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.

13 וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגֹּ֣וי אֶל־גֹּ֑וי מִ֝מַּמְלָכָ֗ה אֶל־עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃

14 He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,

14 לֹֽא־הִנִּ֣יחַ אָדָ֣ם לְעָשְׁקָ֑ם וַיֹּ֖וכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מְלָכִֽים׃

15 Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.

15 אַֽל־תִּגְּע֥וּ בִמְשִׁיחָ֑י וְ֝לִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃

16 And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.

16 וַיִּקְרָ֣א רָ֭עָב עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ כָּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶ֥חֶם שָׁבָֽר׃

17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:

17 שָׁלַ֣ח לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם אִ֑ישׁ לְ֝עֶ֗בֶד נִמְכַּ֥ר יֹוסֵֽף׃

18 His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;

18 עִנּ֣וּ בַכֶּ֣בֶל רַגְלָיו רַגְלֹ֑ו בַּ֝רְזֶ֗ל בָּ֣אָה נַפְשֹֽׁו׃

19 Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.

19 עַד־עֵ֥ת בֹּֽא־דְבָרֹ֑ו אִמְרַ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃

20 The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.

20 שָׁ֣לַח מֶ֭לֶךְ וַיַתִּירֵ֑הוּ מֹשֵׁ֥ל עַ֝מִּ֗ים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃

21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;

21 שָׂמֹ֣ו אָדֹ֣ון לְבֵיתֹ֑ו וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בְּכָל־קִנְיָנֹֽו׃

22 To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.

22 לֶאְסֹ֣ר שָׂרָ֣יו בְּנַפְשֹׁ֑ו וּזְקֵנָ֥יו יְחַכֵּֽם׃

23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.

23 וַיָּבֹ֣א יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מִצְרָ֑יִם וְ֝יַעֲקֹ֗ב גָּ֣ר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃

24 And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.

24 וַיֶּ֣פֶר אֶת־עַמֹּ֣ו מְאֹ֑ד וַ֝יַּֽעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃

25 Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.

25 הָפַ֣ךְ לִ֭בָּם לִשְׂנֹ֣א עַמֹּ֑ו לְ֝הִתְנַכֵּ֗ל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃

26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.

26 לַח מֹשֶׁ֣ה עַבְדֹּ֑ו אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽחַר־בֹּֽו׃

27 He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.

27 שָֽׂמוּ־בָ֭ם דִּבְרֵ֣י אֹתֹותָ֑יו וּ֝מֹפְתִ֗ים בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָֽם׃

28 He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.

28 שָׁ֣לַֽח חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁ֑ךְ וְלֹֽא־מָ֝ר֗וּ אֶת־ דְּבָרָוו¹ דְּבָרֹֽו׃

29 At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.

29 הָפַ֣ךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶ֣ם לְדָ֑ם וַ֝יָּ֗מֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃

30 Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.

30 שָׁרַ֣ץ אַרְצָ֣ם צְפַרְדְּעִ֑ים בְּ֝חַדְרֵ֗י מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃

31 He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.

31 אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א עָרֹ֑ב כִּ֝נִּ֗ים בְּכָל־גְּבוּלָֽם׃

32 He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

32 נָתַ֣ן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶ֣ם בָּרָ֑ד אֵ֖שׁ לֶהָבֹ֣ות בְּאַרְצָֽם׃

33 He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.

33 וַיַּ֣ךְ גַּ֭פְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָ֑ם וַ֝יְשַׁבֵּ֗ר עֵ֣ץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃

34 At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,

34 אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א אַרְבֶּ֑ה וְ֝יֶ֗לֶק וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃

35 And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.

35 וַיֹּ֣אכַל כָּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב בְּאַרְצָ֑ם וַ֝יֹּ֗אכַל פְּרִ֣י אַדְמָתָֽם׃

36 He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.

36 וַיַּ֣ךְ כָּל־בְּכֹ֣ור בְּאַרְצָ֑ם רֵ֝אשִׁ֗ית לְכָל־אֹונָֽם׃

37 He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.

37 וַֽ֭יֹּוצִיאֵם בְּכֶ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב וְאֵ֖ין בִּשְׁבָטָ֣יו כֹּושֵֽׁל׃

38 Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.

38 שָׂמַ֣ח מִצְרַ֣יִם בְּצֵאתָ֑ם כִּֽי־נָפַ֖ל פַּחְדָּ֣ם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃

39 A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.

39 פָּרַ֣שׂ עָנָ֣ן לְמָסָ֑ךְ וְ֝אֵ֗שׁ לְהָאִ֥יר לָֽיְלָה׃

40 At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.

40 שָׁאַ֣ל וַיָּבֵ֣א שְׂלָ֑ו וְלֶ֥חֶם מַ֗יִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם׃

41 His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.

41 פָּ֣תַח צ֭וּר וַיָּז֣וּבוּ מָ֑יִם הָ֝לְכ֗וּ בַּצִּיֹּ֥ות נָהָֽר׃

42 For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

42 כִּֽי־זָ֭כַר אֶת־דְּבַ֣ר קָדְשֹׁ֑ו אֶֽת־אַבְרָהָ֥ם עַבְדֹּֽו׃

43 And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:

43 וַיֹּוצִ֣א עַמֹּ֣ו בְשָׂשֹׂ֑ון בְּ֝רִנָּ֗ה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיו׃

44 And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;

44 וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם אַרְצֹ֣ות גֹּויִ֑ם וַעֲמַ֖ל לְאֻמִּ֣ים יִירָֽשׁוּ׃

45 So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.

45 בַּעֲב֤וּר׀ יִשְׁמְר֣וּ חֻ֭קָּיו וְתֹורֹתָ֥יו יִנְצֹ֗רוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
