1 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples.

1 הֹוד֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה קִרְא֣וּ בִּשְׁמֹ֑ו הֹודִ֥יעוּ בָ֝עַמִּ֗ים עֲלִילֹותָֽיו׃

2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works.

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

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

3 הִֽ֭תְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשֹׁ֑ו יִ֝שְׂמַ֗ח לֵ֤ב׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י יְהוָֽה׃

4 Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually;

4 דִּרְשׁ֣וּ יְהוָ֣ה וְעֻזֹּ֑ו בַּקְּשׁ֖וּ פָנָ֣יו תָּמִֽיד׃

5 Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth:

5 זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאֹותָ֥יו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֑ה מֹ֝פְתָ֗יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃

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

6 זֶ֭רַע אַבְרָהָ֣ם עַבְדֹּ֑ו בְּנֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃

7 He, Jehovah, is our God; his judgments are in all the earth.

7 ה֭וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ בְּכָל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃

8 He is ever mindful of his covenant, -- the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, --

8 זָכַ֣ר לְעֹולָ֣ם בְּרִיתֹ֑ו דָּבָ֥ר צִ֝וָּ֗ה לְאֶ֣לֶף דֹּֽור׃

9 Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;

9 אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּ֭רַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֑ם וּשְׁב֖וּעָתֹ֣ו לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃

10 And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant,

10 וַיַּֽעֲמִידֶ֣הָ לְיַעֲקֹ֣ב לְחֹ֑ק לְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל בְּרִ֣ית עֹולָֽם׃

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

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

12 When they were a few men in number, of small account, and strangers in it.

12 בִּֽ֭הְיֹותָם מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֑ר כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃

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

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

14 He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes,

14 לֹֽא־הִנִּ֣יחַ אָדָ֣ם לְעָשְׁקָ֑ם וַיֹּ֖וכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מְלָכִֽים׃

15 [Saying,] Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.

15 אַֽל־תִּגְּע֥וּ בִמְשִׁיחָ֑י וְ֝לִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃

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

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

17 He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman.

17 שָׁלַ֣ח לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם אִ֑ישׁ לְ֝עֶ֗בֶד נִמְכַּ֥ר יֹוסֵֽף׃

18 They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons;

18 עִנּ֣וּ בַכֶּ֣בֶל רַגְלָיו רַגְלֹ֑ו בַּ֝רְזֶ֗ל בָּ֣אָה נַפְשֹֽׁו׃

19 Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him.

19 עַד־עֵ֥ת בֹּֽא־דְבָרֹ֑ו אִמְרַ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃

20 The king sent and loosed him -- the ruler of peoples -- and let him go free.

20 שָׁ֣לַח מֶ֭לֶךְ וַיַתִּירֵ֑הוּ מֹשֵׁ֥ל עַ֝מִּ֗ים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃

21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions:

21 שָׂמֹ֣ו אָדֹ֣ון לְבֵיתֹ֑ו וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בְּכָל־קִנְיָנֹֽו׃

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

22 לֶאְסֹ֣ר שָׂרָ֣יו בְּנַפְשֹׁ֑ו וּזְקֵנָ֥יו יְחַכֵּֽם׃

23 And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

23 וַיָּבֹ֣א יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מִצְרָ֑יִם וְ֝יַעֲקֹ֗ב גָּ֣ר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃

24 And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.

24 וַיֶּ֣פֶר אֶת־עַמֹּ֣ו מְאֹ֑ד וַ֝יַּֽעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃

25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.

25 הָפַ֣ךְ לִ֭בָּם לִשְׂנֹ֣א עַמֹּ֑ו לְ֝הִתְנַכֵּ֗ל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃

26 He sent Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen:

26 לַח מֹשֶׁ֣ה עַבְדֹּ֑ו אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽחַר־בֹּֽו׃

27 They set his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham.

27 שָֽׂמוּ־בָ֭ם דִּבְרֵ֣י אֹתֹותָ֑יו וּ֝מֹפְתִ֗ים בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָֽם׃

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.

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

29 He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die.

29 הָפַ֣ךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶ֣ם לְדָ֑ם וַ֝יָּ֗מֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃

30 Their land swarmed with frogs, -- in the chambers of their kings.

30 שָׁרַ֣ץ אַרְצָ֣ם צְפַרְדְּעִ֑ים בְּ֝חַדְרֵ֗י מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃

31 He spoke, and there came dog-flies, [and] gnats in all their borders.

31 אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א עָרֹ֑ב כִּ֝נִּ֗ים בְּכָל־גְּבוּלָֽם׃

32 He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land;

32 נָתַ֣ן גִּשְׁמֵיהֶ֣ם בָּרָ֑ד אֵ֖שׁ לֶהָבֹ֣ות בְּאַרְצָֽם׃

33 And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders.

33 וַיַּ֣ךְ גַּ֭פְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָ֑ם וַ֝יְשַׁבֵּ֗ר עֵ֣ץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃

34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number;

34 אָ֭מַר וַיָּבֹ֣א אַרְבֶּ֑ה וְ֝יֶ֗לֶק וְאֵ֣ין מִסְפָּֽר׃

35 And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.

35 וַיֹּ֣אכַל כָּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב בְּאַרְצָ֑ם וַ֝יֹּ֗אכַל פְּרִ֣י אַדְמָתָֽם׃

36 And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour.

36 וַיַּ֣ךְ כָּל־בְּכֹ֣ור בְּאַרְצָ֑ם רֵ֝אשִׁ֗ית לְכָל־אֹונָֽם׃

37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes.

37 וַֽ֭יֹּוצִיאֵם בְּכֶ֣סֶף וְזָהָ֑ב וְאֵ֖ין בִּשְׁבָטָ֣יו כֹּושֵֽׁל׃

38 Egypt rejoiced at their departure; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.

38 שָׂמַ֣ח מִצְרַ֣יִם בְּצֵאתָ֑ם כִּֽי־נָפַ֖ל פַּחְדָּ֣ם עֲלֵיהֶֽם׃

39 He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night.

39 פָּרַ֣שׂ עָנָ֣ן לְמָסָ֑ךְ וְ֝אֵ֗שׁ לְהָאִ֥יר לָֽיְלָה׃

40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

40 שָׁאַ֣ל וַיָּבֵ֣א שְׂלָ֑ו וְלֶ֥חֶם מַ֗יִם יַשְׂבִּיעֵֽם׃

41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed forth; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.

41 פָּ֣תַח צ֭וּר וַיָּז֣וּבוּ מָ֑יִם הָ֝לְכ֗וּ בַּצִּיֹּ֥ות נָהָֽר׃

42 For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant;

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

43 And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing;

43 וַיֹּוצִ֣א עַמֹּ֣ו בְשָׂשֹׂ֑ון בְּ֝רִנָּ֗ה אֶת־בְּחִירָֽיו׃

44 And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples:

44 וַיִּתֵּ֣ן לָ֭הֶם אַרְצֹ֣ות גֹּויִ֑ם וַעֲמַ֖ל לְאֻמִּ֣ים יִירָֽשׁוּ׃

45 That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!

45 בַּעֲב֤וּר׀ יִשְׁמְר֣וּ חֻ֭קָּיו וְתֹורֹתָ֥יו יִנְצֹ֗רוּ הַֽלְלוּ־יָֽהּ׃
