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.

18 ^aThey hurt his feet with fetters,
¹He was laid in irons.

19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
^aThe word of the Lord tested him.

20 ^aThe king sent and released him,
The ruler of the people let him go free.

21 ^aHe made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his possessions,

22 To¹ bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom.

23 ^aIsrael also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt ^bin the land of Ham.

24 ^aHe increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their enemies.

25 ^aHe turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.

26 ^aHe sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron whom He had chosen.

27 They ^aperformed His signs among them,
And wonders in the land of Ham.

28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
And they did not rebel against His word.

29 ^aHe turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish.

30 ^aTheir land abounded with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.
