O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;Make known his doings among the peoples.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; {Or, Meditate}Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
Glory ye in his holy name;Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;Seek his face evermore.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
O ye seed of Israel his servant,Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is Jehovah our God;His judgments are in all the earth.
Remember his covenant for ever,The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant which he made with Abraham,And his oath unto Isaac,
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,The {Hebrew: cord, or, line.}lot of your inheritance;
When ye were but a few men in number,Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;
And they went about from nation to nation,And from one kingdom to another people.
He suffered no man to do them wrong;Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,And do my prophets no harm.
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;Make known among the peoples his doings.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; {Or, Meditate}Talk ye of all his marvellous works.

When they were but a few men in number,Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
And they went about from nation to nation,From one kingdom to another people.
He suffered no man to do them wrong;Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,And do my prophets no harm.

When they were but a few men in number,Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.
And they went about from nation to nation,From one kingdom to another people.
He suffered no man to do them wrong;Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,And do my prophets no harm.
And he called for a famine upon the land;He brake the whole staff of bread.
He sent a man before them;Joseph was sold for a servant:
His feet they hurt with fetters: {Hebrew: His soul entered into the iron.}He was laid in chains of iron,
Until the time that his word came to pass,The word of Jehovah tried him.
The king sent and loosed him;Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
He made him lord of his house,And ruler of all his substance;
To bind his princes at his pleasure,And teach his elders wisdom.
Israel also came into Egypt;And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
And he increased his people greatly,And made them stronger than their adversaries.
He turned their heart to hate his people,To deal subtly with his servants.
He sent Moses his servant,And Aaron whom he had chosen.
They set among them {Hebrew: the words of his signs.}his signs,And wonders in the land of Ham.
He sent darkness, and made it dark;And they rebelled not against his words.
He turned their waters into blood,And slew their fish.
Their land swarmed with frogsIn the chambers of their kings.
He spake, and there came swarms of flies,And lice in all their borders.
He gave them hail for rain,And flaming fire in their land.
He smote their vines also and their fig-trees,And brake the trees of their borders.
He spake, and the locust came,And the grasshopper, and that without number,
And did eat up every herb in their land,And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
He smote also all the first-born in their land,The {Hebrew: beginning. See Deuteronomy 21:17.}chief of all their strength.
And he brought them forth with silver and gold;And there was {Or, none that stumbled}not one feeble person among his tribes.
Egypt was glad when they departed;For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
He spread a cloud for a covering,And fire to give light in the night.
They asked, and he brought quails,And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;They ran in the dry places like a river.
For he remembered his holy word,And Abraham his servant.
And he brought forth his people with joy,And his chosen with singing.
And he gave them the lands of the nations;And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:
That they might keep his statutes,And observe his laws. {Hebrew: Hallelujah.}Praise ye Jehovah.
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;Make known among the peoples his doings.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; {Or, Meditate}Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
Glory ye in his holy name:Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;Seek his face evermore.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
O ye seed of Abraham his servant,Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is Jehovah our God:His judgments are in all the earth.
He hath remembered his covenant for ever,The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant which he made with Abraham,And his oath unto Isaac,
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,The {Hebrew: cord, or, line.}lot of your inheritance;

And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.
And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion {Or, of wine}of flesh, and a cake of raisins.
And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel:
Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, {In chapter 15:18, Jaaziel.}Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
Then on that day did David {Or, make it the chief work}first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;Make known his doings among the peoples.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; {Or, Meditate}Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
Glory ye in his holy name;Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;Seek his face evermore.
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
O ye seed of Israel his servant,Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
He is Jehovah our God;His judgments are in all the earth.
Remember his covenant for ever,The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
The covenant which he made with Abraham,And his oath unto Isaac,
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,The {Hebrew: cord, or, line.}lot of your inheritance;
When ye were but a few men in number,Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;
And they went about from nation to nation,And from one kingdom to another people.
He suffered no man to do them wrong;Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,And do my prophets no harm.
Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth;Show forth his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,His marvellous works among all the peoples.
For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised:He also is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are {Or, things of nought}idols:But Jehovah made the heavens.
Honor and majesty are before him:Strength and gladness are in his place.
Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples,Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength;
Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name:Bring an offering, and come before him;Worship Jehovah {Or, in the beauty of holiness}in holy array.
Tremble before him, all the earth:The world also is established that it cannot be moved.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth.
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;Let the field exult, and all that is therein;
Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Jehovah;For he cometh to judge the earth.
O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good;For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.
And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation,And gather us together and deliver us from the nations,To give thanks unto thy holy name,And to triumph in thy praise.
Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel,From everlasting even to everlasting.And all the people said, Amen, and praised Jehovah.
So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;
and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,
to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded unto Israel;
and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his lovingkindness endureth for ever;
and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee, throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee.
He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
And God said, Nay, but Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son; and thou shalt call his name {From the Hebrew word meaning to laugh.}Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
And Jehovah appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these lands, and I will establish the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
and I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these lands; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth {Or, bless themselves}be blessed;
because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
And he went up from thence to Beer-sheba.
And Jehovah appeared unto him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I am with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
And, behold, Jehovah stood {Or, beside him}above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee, whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.
And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.
And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
And God said unto him, I am {Hebrew: El Shaddai.}God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;
and the land which I gave unto Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
And God went up from him in the place where he spake with him.
For the gifts and the calling of God are not repented of.
And God said unto him in the dream, Yea, I know that in the integrity of thy heart thou has done this, and I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
Now therefore restore the man's wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
