The Eternal Faithfulness of the Lord
1 Oh,
agive thanks to the
Lord!
Call upon His name;
bMake known His deeds among the peoples!
2 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
aTalk of all His wondrous works!
3 Glory in His holy name;
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the
Lord!
4 Seek the
Lord and His strength;
aSeek His face evermore!
5 aRemember His marvelous works which He has done,
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
6 O seed of Abraham His servant,
You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
7 He
is the
Lord our God;
aHis judgments
are in all the earth.
8 He
aremembers His covenant forever,
The word
which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
9 aThe covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His oath to Isaac,
10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
To Israel
as an everlasting covenant,
11 Saying,
a“To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the allotment of your inheritance,”
12 aWhen they were few in number,
Indeed very few,
band strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another,
From
one kingdom to another people,
14 aHe permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes,
bHe rebuked kings for their sakes,
15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm.”
16 Moreover
aHe called for a famine in the land;
He destroyed all the
bprovision of bread.
17 aHe sent a man before them—
Joseph—
who bwas sold as a slave.
