God

The covenantwhich he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,

Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;

He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.

And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.

Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.

And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.

He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.

He sent Moses his servant, AndAaron whom he had chosen.

They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.

They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

For he remembered his holy word, AndAbraham his servant.

And he brought forth his people with joy, Andhis chosen with singing.

That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah.

Praise ye Jehovah. Oh give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness endureth for ever.

Who can utter the mighty acts of Jehovah, Or show forth all his praise?

Remember me, O Jehovah, with the favor that thou bearest unto thy people; Oh visit me with thy salvation,

That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, That I may glory with thine inheritance.

Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.

He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.

They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,
