God

the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”

He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.

until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.

And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,

whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.

He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.

They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.

He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.

that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.

Who can describe the mighty acts of the LORD or fully proclaim His praise?

Remember me, O LORD, in Your favor to Your people; visit me with Your salvation,

that I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, and rejoice in the gladness of Your nation, and give glory with Your inheritance.

Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp Your wonders or remember Your abundant kindness; but they rebelled by the sea, there at the Red Sea.

Yet He saved them for the sake of His name, to make His power known.

He rebuked the Red Sea, and it dried up; He led them through the depths as through a desert.

He saved them from the hand that hated them; He redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

Then they believed His promises and sang His praise.

Yet they soon forgot His works and failed to wait for His counsel.
