⁸ He has ^(O)remembered His covenant forever,
The word which He commanded to a ^(P)thousand generations,
⁹ The ^(Q)covenant which He made with Abraham,
And His ^(R)oath to Isaac.
¹⁰ Then He ^(S)confirmed it to Jacob as a statute,
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
¹¹ Saying, “^(T)To you I will give the land of Canaan
As the ^[f](U)portion of your inheritance,”
¹² When they were only a ^(V)few people in number,
Very few, and ^(W)strangers in it.
¹³ And they wandered from nation to nation,
From one kingdom to another people,
¹⁴ He ^(X)allowed no one to oppress them,
And He ^[g](Y)rebuked kings for their sakes, saying,
¹⁵ “^(Z)Do not touch My anointed ones,
And do not harm My prophets.”

¹⁶ And He ^(AA)called for a famine upon the land;
He ^(AB)broke the whole staff of bread.
¹⁷ He ^(AC)sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was ^(AD)sold as a slave.
¹⁸ They forced his ^(AE)feet into shackles,
^[h]He was put in irons;
¹⁹ Until the time that his ^(AF)word came to pass,
The word of the Lord ^(AG)refined him.
²⁰ The ^(AH)king sent and released him,
The ruler of peoples, and set him free.
²¹ He ^(AI)made him lord of his house,
And ruler over all his possessions,
²² To ^[i]imprison his high officials ^[j](AJ)at will,
That he might teach his elders wisdom.
^23 (AK)Israel also came into Egypt;
So Jacob ^(AL)lived in the land of Ham.
²⁴ And He ^(AM)made His people very fruitful,
And made them stronger than their enemies.

²⁵ He ^(AN)turned their heart to hate His people,
To ^(AO)deal cunningly with His servants.
²⁶ He ^(AP)sent His servant Moses,
And ^(AQ)Aaron, whom He had chosen.
²⁷ They ^[k](AR)performed His wondrous acts among them,
And miracles in the land of Ham.
²⁸ He ^(AS)sent darkness and made it dark;
And they did not ^(AT)rebel against His words.
²⁹ He ^(AU)turned their waters into blood,
And caused their fish to die.
³⁰ Their land swarmed with ^(AV)frogs
Even in the ^(AW)chambers of their kings.
³¹ He spoke, and a ^(AX)swarm of flies
And ^(AY)gnats invaded all their territory.
³² He ^[l]gave them ^(AZ)hail for rain,
And flaming fire in their land.
³³ He also ^(BA)struck their vines and their fig trees,
And smashed the trees of their territory.
³⁴ He spoke, and ^(BB)locusts came,
And creeping locusts, beyond number,
³⁵ And they ate all the vegetation in their land,
And ate the fruit of their ground.
³⁶ He also ^(BC)fatally struck all the firstborn in their land,
The ^(BD)first fruits of all their vigor.

³⁷ Then He brought ^[m]the Israelites out with ^(BE)silver and gold,
And among His tribes there was not one who stumbled.
³⁸ Egypt was ^(BF)glad when they departed,
For the ^(BG)dread of them had fallen upon ^[n]the Egyptians.
³⁹ He spread out a ^(BH)cloud as a ^[o]covering,
And ^(BI)fire to illumine by night.
^40 [p]They ^(BJ)asked, and He brought ^(BK)quail,
And satisfied them with the ^[q](BL)bread of heaven.
⁴¹ He opened the ^[r]rock and ^(BM)water flowed out;
^[s]It ran in the dry places like a river.
⁴² For He ^(BN)remembered His holy word
With His servant Abraham;
⁴³ And He led out His people with joy,
His chosen ones with a joyful ^(BO)shout.
⁴⁴ He also ^(BP)gave them the lands of the ^[t]nations,
So that they ^(BQ)might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,
⁴⁵ And that they might ^(BR)keep His statutes
And comply with His laws;
^[u]Praise ^[v]the Lord!
