Read the chapter

1Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples. ✦ 2Sing to him, sing praises to him! Tell of all his marvelous works. ✦ 3Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice. ✦ 4Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more. ✦ 5Remember his marvelous works that he has done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth, ✦ 6you offspring of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his chosen ones. ✦ 7He is Yahweh, our God. His judgments are in all the earth. ✦ 8He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, ✦ 9the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac, ✦ 10and confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant, ✦ 11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance”; ✦ 12when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it. ✦ 13They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. 14He 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!” ✦ 16He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies. ✦ 17He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave. ✦ 18They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons, ✦ 19until the time that his word happened, and Yahweh’s word proved him true. ✦ 20The king sent and freed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. ✦ 21He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions; ✦ 22to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom. ✦ 23Israel also came into Egypt. Jacob lived in the land of Ham. ✦ 24He increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries. ✦ 25He turned their heart to hate his people, to conspire against his servants. ✦ 26He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, whom he had chosen. ✦ 27They performed miracles among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. ✦ 28He sent darkness, and made it dark. They didn’t rebel against his words. ✦ 29He turned their waters into blood, and killed their fish. ✦ 30Their land swarmed with frogs, even in the rooms of their kings. ✦ 31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders. ✦ 32He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land. ✦ 33He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country. ✦ 34He spoke, and the locusts came, and the grasshoppers, without number, ✦ 35ate up every plant in their land; and ate up the fruit of their ground. 36He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood. ✦ 37He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes. ✦ 38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them. ✦ 39He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night. ✦ 40They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky. ✦ 41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places. ✦ 42For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant. ✦ 43He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing. ✦ 44He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession, ✦ 45that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise Yah! ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.
