1. Give thanks to the Lord! Call on his name!Make his doings known amongst the peoples.
2. Sing to him, sing praises to him!Tell of all his marvellous works.
3. Glory in his holy name.Let the heart of those who seek the Lord rejoice.
4. Seek the Lord and his strength.Seek his face forever more.
5. Remember his marvellous works that he has done;his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth,
6. you offspring of Abraham, his servant,you children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
7. He is the Lord, our God.His judgements are in all the earth.
8. He has remembered his covenant forever,the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
9. the covenant which he made with Abraham,his oath to Isaac,
10. and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute;to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11. saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan,the lot of your inheritance;”
12. when they were but a few men in number,yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
13. They went about from nation to nation,from one kingdom to another people.
14. He allowed no one to do them wrong.Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
15. “Don’t touch my anointed ones!Do my prophets no harm!”
16. He called for a famine on the land.He destroyed the food supplies.
