The Eternal Faithfulness of the Lord
1 Oh, 1 Chr. 16:8–22, 34; Ps. 106:1; Is. 12:4give thanks to the Lord!
Call upon His name;
Ps. 145:12Make known His deeds among the peoples!
2 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
Ps. 119:27Talk 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;
Ps. 27:8Seek His face evermore!
5 Ps. 77:11Remember 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;
(Is. 26:9)His judgments are in all the earth.
8 He Luke 1:72remembers His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
9 Gen. 17:2; Luke 1:73; (Gal. 3:17); Heb. 6:17Thecovenant 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, Gen. 13:15; 15:18"To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the allotment of your inheritance,"
12 Gen. 34:30; (Deut. 7:7)When they were few in number,
Indeed very few, Gen. 23:4; Heb. 11:9and strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another,
From one kingdom to another people,
14 Gen. 35:5He permitted no one to do them wrong;
Yes, Gen. 12:17He rebuked kings for their sakes,
15 Saying, "Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do My prophets no harm."
16 Moreover Gen. 41:54He called for a famine in the land;
He destroyed all the Lev. 26:26; Is. 3:1; Ezek. 4:16provision of bread.
17 (Gen. 45:5)He sent a man before them—
Joseph—whoGen. 37:28, 36; Acts 7:9was sold as a slave.
18 Gen. 40:15They hurt his feet with fetters,
He was laid in irons.
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
Gen. 39:11–21; 41:25, 42, 43The word of the Lord tested him.
20 Gen. 41:14The king sent and released him,
The ruler of the people let him go free.
21 Gen. 41:40–44He made him lord of his house,
And ruler of all his possessions,
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure,
And teach his elders wisdom.
23 Gen. 46:6; Acts 7:15Israel also came into Egypt,
And Jacob dwelt Ps. 78:51in the land of Ham.
24 Ex. 1:7, 9He increased His people greatly,
And made them stronger than their enemies.
25 Ex. 1:8–10; 4:21He turned their heart to hate His people,
To deal craftily with His servants.
26 Ex. 3:10; 4:12–15He sent Moses His servant,
And Aaron whom He had chosen.
27 They Ex. 7—12; Ps. 78:43performed 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 Ex. 7:20, 21; Ps. 78:44He turned their waters into blood,
And killed their fish.
30 Ex. 8:6Their land abounded with frogs,
Even in the chambers of their kings.
31 Ex. 8:16, 17He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
And lice in all their territory.
32 Ex. 9:23–25He gave them hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
33 Ps. 78:47He struck their vines also, and their fig trees,
And splintered the trees of their territory.
34 Ex. 10:4He spoke, and locusts came,
Young locusts without number,
35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
And devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 Ex. 12:29; 13:15; Ps. 135:8; 136:10He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land,
Gen. 49:3The first of all their strength.
37 Ex. 12:35, 36He also brought them out with silver and gold,
And therewas none feeble among His tribes.
38 Ex. 12:33Egypt was glad when they departed,
For the fear of them had fallen upon them.
39 Ex. 13:21; Neh. 9:12; Ps. 78:14; Is. 4:5He spread a cloud for a covering,
And fire to give light in the night.
40 Ex. 16:12Thepeople asked, and He brought quail,
And Ps. 78:24satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 Ex. 17:6; Num. 20:11; Ps. 78:15; 114:8; Is. 48:21; (1 Cor. 10:4)He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
It ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For He remembered Gen. 15:13, 14; Ps. 105:8His holy promise,
And Abraham His servant.
43 He brought out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with gladness.
44 Josh. 11:16–23; 13:7; Ps. 78:55He gave them the lands of the Gentiles,
And they inherited the labor of the nations,
45 (Deut. 4:1, 40)That they might observe His statutes
And keep His laws.
Praise the Lord!
