1 Rendei graças a Jeová, invocai o seu nome; Fazei conhecidos os seus feitos entre os povos.
2 Cantai-lhe, cantai-lhe louvores; Meditai em todas as suas maravilhas.
3 Gloriai-vos no seu santo nome; Regozije-se o coração dos que buscam a Jeová.
4 Buscai a Jeová e a sua fortaleza. Buscai perpetuamente a sua face.
5 Lembrai-vos das maravilhas que ele tem feito, Dos seus prodígios e dos juízos da sua boca,
6 Vós, descendência de Abraão, seu servo, Vós, filhos de Jacó, escolhidos seus.
7 Ele, Jeová, é o nosso Deus; Os seus juízos estão em toda a terra.
8 Lembra-se para sempre da sua aliança, Da palavra que ele ordenou para mil gerações;
9 Da aliança que fez com Abraão, E do juramento que deu a Isaque;
10 E o confirmou a Jacó por decreto, A Israel por aliança perpétua,
11 Dizendo: A ti darei a terra de Canaã, Como quinhão da vossa herança,
12 Quando eles eram em pequeno número, Muito poucos e forasteiros nela;
13 E andavam de nação em nação, Dum reino para outro povo.
14 Não permitiu que alguém os ofendesse; Antes por amor deles repreendeu a reis,
15 Dizendo: Não toqueis os meus ungidos, Nem maltrateis os meus profetas.
16 Chamou a fome sobre a terra; Quebrou todo o báculo do pão.
17 Enviou diante deles um homem; José foi vendido para ser escravo.
18 Torturaram-lhe os pés com grilhões; Ele foi posto a ferros,
19 Até que chegasse o tempo para o cumprimento da sua palavra, A promessa de Jeová o provou.
20 O rei mandou soltá-lo; O dominador dos povos deu-lhe liberdade.
21 Constituiu-o senhor da sua casa, E governador de toda a sua fazenda,
22 Para sujeitar à sua vontade os seus príncipes. E ensinar aos seus anciãos a sabedoria.
23 Israel também entrou no Egito, E Jacó peregrinou na terra de Cão.
24 Ele multiplicou grandemente ao seu povo, E o tornou mais forte do que os seus adversários.
25 Mudou-lhes o coração, para que odiassem o seu povo, E usassem de enganos para com os seus servos.
26 Ele enviou Moisés, seu servo. E a Aarão, a quem escolhera.
27 Mostrou entre eles os seus sinais, E maravilhas na terra de Cão.
28 Ele enviou trevas, e ficou escuro; E não rebelaram contra as suas palavras.
29 Converteu-lhes as águas em sangue, E matou-lhes os peixes.
30 A terra deles produziu rãs em abundância, Até na câmara dos seus reis.
31 Ele falou, e vieram enxames de moscas, E piolhos em todos os seus termos.
32 Deu-lhes saraiva por chuva, E fogo chamejante na sua terra.
33 Feriu-lhes também as vinhas, e as figueiras, E quebrou-lhes as árvores dos seus termos.
34 Ele falou, e vieram gafanhotos, E pulgões inumeráveis,
35 Que comeram toda a erva da terra, E comeram o fruto dos campos.
36 Feriu também todos os primogênitos na terra deles, As primícias de toda a sua força.
37 Fê-los sair com prata e ouro, E entre as suas tribos não havia quem tropeçasse.
38 Regozijou-se o Egito, quando eles saíram; Porque foi presa do terror deles.
39 Ele estendeu uma nuvem para servir de cobertura, E fogo para alumiar de noite.
40 Eles pediram, e ele fez vir codornizes, E os saciou do pão do céu.
41 Fendeu a rocha, e brotaram águas, As quais correram, qual rio, pelos lugares áridos.
42 Porquanto ele se lembrou da sua santa palavra, E de Abraão, seu servo.
43 Fez sair com alegria o seu povo, E com canto de júbilo os seus escolhidos.
44 Deu-lhes as terras das nações, E eles se apossaram dos trabalhos dos povos,
45 Para que lhe guardassem os estatutos, E lhe observassem as leis. Louvai a Jeová.
1 O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
2 Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
3 Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
4 Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
5 Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
6 O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
7 He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
8 He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
9 The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
10 And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
11 Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
12 When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;
13 When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.
14 He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
15 Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
16 And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:
18 His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;
19 Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.
20 The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;
22 To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.
23 Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.
24 And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.
25 Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.
26 He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.
27 He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.
29 At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.
30 Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.
31 He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.
32 He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.
34 At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,
35 And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.
36 He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.
37 He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.
38 Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.
39 A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.
40 At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.
41 His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.
42 For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43 And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:
44 And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;
45 So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.
