Tell of his wonders

(1 Chronicles 16:7-22)
1
Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
2
Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.
3
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
4
Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.
5
Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
6
O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
7
He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
8
He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9
Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
10
And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
11
Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.
12
When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:
13
And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
14
He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.
15
Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
16
And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.
17
He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave.
18
They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,
19
Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.
20
The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
21
He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.
22
That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.
23
And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.
24
And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies,
25
He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
26
He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.
27
He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.
28
He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.
29
He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish.
30
Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings.
31
He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.
32
He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.
33
And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
34
He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.
35
And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
36
And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.
37
And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.
38
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them.
39
He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night.
40
They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
41
He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land.
42
Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
43
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.
44
And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:
45
That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.

Tell of his wonders

(1 Chronicles 16:7-22)
1
Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.
2
Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous 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 marvelous works that he has done: his wonders, and the judgments 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 judgments 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 it 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.
17
He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
18
They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
19
until the time that his word happened, and the LORD’s word proved him true.
20
The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions,
22
to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.
23
Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham.
24
He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
25
He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
26
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27
They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28
He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words.
29
He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish.
30
Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings.
31
He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.
32
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
33
He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
34
He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number.
35
They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36
He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
37
He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.
38
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.
39
He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.
40
They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
42
For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43
He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.
44
He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45
that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!
