He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.

The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.

O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.

Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.

A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.

Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.

He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.

Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.

He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.

He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:

O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.

He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.

He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;

Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.

His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;

And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;

He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.

When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;

And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.

And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.

And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;

Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.

And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.

Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.

Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:

His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.

To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.

Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.

Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.

The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.

So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.

He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.

For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.

Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.

He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,

And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:

He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.

At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,

When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.
