Kā Dievs veda Israēlu.
1 Pateicieties tam Kungam, piesauciet Viņa vārdu, sludiniet tautu starpā Viņa darbus!
2 Dziediet Viņam, spēlējiet Viņam, stāstiet par visiem Viņa brīnuma darbiem!
3 Slavējiet Viņa svēto vārdu! Lai priecājas visu sirdis, kas meklē to Kungu!
4 Meklējiet to Kungu un Viņa spēku, vienumēr meklējiet Viņa vaigu!
5 Pieminiet Viņa brīnuma darbus, ko Viņš darījis, Viņa zīmes un Viņa mutes spriedumus,
6 Jūs Ābrahāma, Viņa kalpa, dzi-mums, jūs Jēkaba bērni, Dieva izredzē-tie!
7 Viņš, tas Kungs, ir mūsu Dievs; Viņa tiesas lēmumi iet pār visu zemi.
8 Viņš neaizmirst savu derību ne mūžam, to vārdu, ko Viņš tūkstošiem dzimumiem devis,
9 To derību, ko Viņš slēdzis ar Ābrahāmu, un savu zvērestu, ko Viņš devis īzākam,
10 Ko Viņš arī Jēkabam par likumu apstiprinājis un par mūžīgu derību Israēlam,
11 Kad Viņš teica: „Tev Es došu Kānaāna zemi kā jūsu mantojuma tiesu!“
12 Toreiz ļaužu bija tikai nedaudz, vēl mazs pulciņš, un viņi bija svešnieki tai zemē.
13 Viņi staigāja no vienas tautas pie otras, no vienas valsts pie otras valsts ļaudīm.
14 Bet Viņš neļāva nevienam viņus apspiest un sodīja pat ķēniņus viņu dēļ:
15 „Neaizkariet manus svaidītos un nedariet ļauna maniem praviešiem!“
16 Kad bads uznāca tajā zemē un izbeidzās viss maizes krājums,
17 Viņš sūtīja yiņiem pa priekšu vienu vīru, Jāzepu, ko pārdeva par vergu,
18 Viņa kājas lika siekstā un viņu pašu iekala dzelzīs,
19 Kamēr viņa paredzējums pie-pildījās un tā Kunga vārds to apliecināja.
20 Ķēniņš sūtīja un lika atraisīt viņu, tautu valdnieks viņu atsvabināja,
21 Viņš iecēla viņu par kungu savam namam un par valdnieku visai savai mantai,
22 Lai tas valda pār viņa lielkungiem pēc sava prāta un māca viņa vecajiem gudrību.
23 Tā Israēls nonāca Ēģiptes zemē, un Jēkabs dzīvoja kā svešnieks Chama zemē.
24 Tad Dievs lika saviem ļaudīm pieaugt skaitā un darīja viņus jo varenus ne kā viņu pretiniekus.
25 Viņš pārveidoja pēdējo sirdis, lai viņi sāktu ienīst Viņa tautu un uzbrukt ar viltu Viņa kalpiem.
26 Tad Viņš sūtīja Mozu, savu kalpu, un Aronu, ko Viņš bija izraudzījis.
27 Tie darīja brīnuma zīmes viņu starpā un brīnumus Chama zemē.
28 Viņš sūtīja tumsu, diena satumsa pavisam; tomēr viņi nepiegrieza vērību Viņa vārdam.
29 Viņš pārvērta visus viņu ūdeņus asinīs, visas zivis aizgāja bojā.
30 Viņu zeme mudžēja no vardēm līdz pat ķēniņa pils telpām.
31 Viņš runāja, tad nāca kukaiņi, utis visās viņu robežās.
32 Viņš deva viņiem krusu lietus vietā un sūtīja uguns liesmas viņu zemē.
33 Viņš sasita viņu vīna kokus un vīģu kokus un nopostīja visus kokus viņuzemē.
34 Viņš runāja, tad nāca siseņi un vaboles bez skaita
35 Un noēda visu zāli viņu zemē, apēda visus zemes augļus.
36 Tad Viņš nokāva visus pirmdzimtos viņu zemē, viņu pirmo spēku.
37 Un izveda savus ļaudis ar visu sudrabu un zeltu, un neviena gurdena nebija viņu ciltīs.
38 Ēģipte priecājās par viņu aiziešanu, jo bailes no viņiem to bija pārņēmušas.
39 Padebesi Viņš deva viņiem par segu un uguni naktī par gaismu.
40 Tad Mozus lūdza, un Dievs sūtīja viņiem paipalas un paēdināja viņus ar debesu maizi.
41 Viņš pāršķēla klinti, tad iztecēja ūdens un plūda pa tuksnesi straumēm,
42 Jo Viņš atcerējās savu svēto vārdu un savu kalpu Ābrahāmu.
43 Tā Viņš izveda savu tautu ar prieku un ar gavilēm savus izredzētos,
44 Un deva viņiem pagānu zemi, lai viņi to iegūst un pārņem sev par īpašumu,
45 Lai turētu godā Dieva likumus un pildītu Viņa baušļus. Alelujā!
1 O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children 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 covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people;
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
15 Saying , Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness:
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
