1Sig tak til Herren og giv ham ære! Forkynd hans undere for alle folkeslag!2Syng og spil til hans ære, tænk på alle de mirakler, han har udført.3Glæd jer over hans herlighed. Lad alle, der kender ham, fryde sig.4Søg hjælp hos Herren og hans styrke, hold jer altid nær til ham.5Tænk på de fantastiske ting, han har gjort, alle de undere, han har udført.6I er jo børn af Guds tjener, Abraham, I er de udvalgte efterkommere af Jakob.*7Han er Herren, vor Gud, han hersker over hele jorden.8Han holder altid sine løfter, er trofast gennem tusind generationer.9Han står bag sin pagt med Abraham, det løfte, han højtideligt afgav til Isak.10Han bekræftede det overfor Jakob som en vedvarende pagt med Israels folk:11„Jeg giver jer Kana’ans land, det skal være jeres særlige ejendom.”12Det sagde han, da de endnu var få, en lille flok fremmede i Kana’ans land.13De vandrede fra land til land, fra det ene rige til det andet.14Men han tillod ingen at skade dem, han advarede konger om at holde sig væk.15„Rør ikke mine udvalgte, gør ikke mine profeter fortræd!”16Han sendte hungersnød over Kana’ans land, gjorde ende på alle deres forsyninger.17Han sendte en mand i forvejen til Egypten. Det var Josef, der blev solgt som slave.18I fængslet blev hans fødder lagt i lænker, om halsen fik han en ring af jern,19indtil hans profeti blev opfyldt, og det viste sig, at Herren talte sandt.20Da fik Farao ham løsladt, Egyptens konge satte ham i frihed.21Han fik ansvar for Faraos finanser, hans paladser, hans gods og ejendom.22Han fik autoritet over alle kongens embedsmænd og gav instrukser til Faraos rådgivere.23Så kom Jakob og hans familie til landet, de boede som gæster i Egypten.24Herren gjorde dem frugtbare og talrige, de blev mere talstærke end landets indbyggere.25På den måde gjorde Gud egypterne misundelige, så de begyndte at mishandle hans tjenere.26Da sendte Gud sin tjener Moses sammen med Aron, som han havde udvalgt.27De udførte fantastiske ting, gjorde tegn og undere i Egyptens land.28Herren sendte et tykt mørke over landet, men egypterne adlød ikke hans befaling.29Han forvandlede deres floder til blod, så alle fiskene døde.30Han fyldte landet med frøer, selv i kongens private gemakker kom de ind.31Han sendte fluesværme i massevis, myggene svirrede over hele landet.32I stedet for regn kom der frygtelige haglbyger, og lynene slog ned over hele Egypten.33Vinstokke og figentræer blev ødelagt, træerne splintredes og væltede omkuld.34Så sendte han sværme af græshopper, de kom i utrolige mængder,35de åd alt, hvad der var grønt i landet, de spiste alle markens afgrøder.36Derpå dræbte han det kæreste, de ejede, den førstefødte søn i hvert eneste hjem.37Da førte Herren sit folk ud af Egypten, belæsset med sølv og guld, ingen var syg eller svagelig.38Egypterne var lettede, da de var borte, for de var blevet bange for dem.39Gud skærmede sit folk med en sky, han lyste for dem med en ildsky om natten.40De bad om kød, og han sendte vagtler, mættede dem med manna, brødet fra himlen.41Han åbnede en klippe, så vand strømmede ud, det blev til en flod i ørkenens sand.42Herren opfyldte sit hellige løfte, som han havde givet til sin tjener Abraham.43Hans folk drog ud med frydesang, hans udvalgte jublede af glæde.44Han gav dem fremmede folkeslags lande, de høstede afgrøder, som andre havde plantet.45Det gjorde han med det mål for øje, at hans folk skulle adlyde hans bud. Lovet være Herren!

Tell of All His Wondrous Works
1Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples!2Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works!3Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!4Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!5Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,6O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!7He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.8He remembers his covenant forever, the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,9the covenant that he made with Abraham, his sworn promise to Isaac,10which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, to Israel as an everlasting covenant,11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan as your portion for an inheritance.”12When they were few in number, of little account, and sojourners in it,13wandering from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people,14he allowed no one to oppress them; he rebuked kings on their account,15saying, “Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm!”16When he summoned a famine on the land and broke all supply* of bread,17he had sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.18His feet were hurt with fetters; his neck was put in a collar of iron;19until what he had said came to pass, the word of the Lord tested him.20The king sent and released him; the ruler of the peoples set him free;21he made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions,22to bind* his princes at his pleasure and to teach his elders wisdom.23Then Israel came to Egypt; Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.24And the Lord made his people very fruitful and made them stronger than their foes.25He turned their hearts to hate his people, to deal craftily with his servants.26He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.27They performed his signs among them and miracles in the land of Ham.28He sent darkness, and made the land dark; they did not rebel* against his words.29He turned their waters into blood and caused their fish to die.30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the chambers of their kings.31He spoke, and there came swarms of flies, and gnats throughout their country.32He gave them hail for rain, and fiery lightning bolts through their land.33He struck down their vines and fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.34He spoke, and the locusts came, young locusts without number,35which devoured all the vegetation in their land and ate up the fruit of their ground.36He struck down all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their strength.37Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold, and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.38Egypt was glad when they departed, for dread of them had fallen upon it.39He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light by night.40They asked, and he brought quail, and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.41He opened the rock, and water gushed out; it flowed through the desert like a river.42For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham, his servant.43So he brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with singing.44And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples’ toil,45that they might keep his statutes and observe his laws. Praise the Lord!
