hodu laADONAI kiru bishmo hodi'u va'ammim alilotav
O give thanks unto the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His doings among the peoples.
2שִֽׁירוּ־ל֭וֹ זַמְּרוּ־ל֑וֹ שִׂ֝֗יחוּ בְּכָל־נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃
shiru-lo zammeru-lo sichu bekhal-nifleotav
Sing unto Him, sing praises unto Him; Speak ye of all His marvellous works.
3הִֽ֭תְהַלְלוּ בְּשֵׁ֣ם קָדְשׁ֑וֹ יִ֝שְׂמַ֗ח לֵ֤ב ׀ מְבַקְשֵׁ֬י יְהוָֽה׃
hithallu beshem kadsho yismach lev mevakshe ADONAI
Glory ye in His holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
4דִּרְשׁ֣וּ יְהוָ֣ה וְעֻזּ֑וֹ בַּקְּשׁ֖וּ פָנָ֣יו תָּמִֽיד׃
dirshu ADONAI ve'uzzo bakkeshu fanav tamid
Seek ye the LORD and His strength; Seek His face continually.
5זִכְר֗וּ נִפְלְאוֹתָ֥יו אֲשֶׁר־עָשָׂ֑ה מֹ֝פְתָ֗יו וּמִשְׁפְּטֵי־פִֽיו׃
zikhru nifleotav asher-asa moftav umishpete-fiv
Remember His marvellous works that He hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth;
6זֶ֭רַע אַבְרָהָ֣ם עַבְדּ֑וֹ בְּנֵ֖י יַעֲקֹ֣ב בְּחִירָֽיו׃
zera' avraham avdo bene ya'akov bechirav
O ye seed of Abraham His servant, Ye children of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7ה֭וּא יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ בְּכָל־הָ֝אָ֗רֶץ מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו׃
hu ADONAI elohenu bekhal-ha'aretz mishpatav
He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
8זָכַ֣ר לְעוֹלָ֣ם בְּרִית֑וֹ דָּבָ֥ר צִ֝וָּ֗ה לְאֶ֣לֶף דּֽוֹר׃
zakhar le'olam berito davar tzivva le'elef dor
He hath remembered His covenant for ever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations;
9אֲשֶׁ֣ר כָּ֭רַת אֶת־אַבְרָהָ֑ם וּשְׁב֖וּעָת֣וֹ לְיִשְׂחָֽק׃
asher karat et-avraham ushevu'ato leyischak
[The covenant] which He made with Abraham, And His oath unto Isaac;
10וַיַּֽעֲמִידֶ֣הָ לְיַעֲקֹ֣ב לְחֹ֑ק לְ֝יִשְׂרָאֵ֗ל בְּרִ֣ית עוֹלָֽם׃
vayya'amideha leya'akov lechok leyisra'el berit olam
And He established it unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant;
11לֵאמֹ֗ר לְךָ֗ אֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־אֶֽרֶץ־כְּנָ֑עַן חֶ֝֗בֶל נַחֲלַתְכֶֽם׃
lemor lekha etten et-eretz-kena'an chevel nachalatkhem
Saying: 'Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance.'
12בִּֽ֭הְיוֹתָם מְתֵ֣י מִסְפָּ֑ר כִּ֝מְעַ֗ט וְגָרִ֥ים בָּֽהּ׃
bihyotam mete mispar kim'at vegarim bah
When they were but a few men in number. Yea, very few, and sojourners in it,
13וַֽ֭יִּתְהַלְּכוּ מִגּ֣וֹי אֶל־גּ֑וֹי מִ֝מַּמְלָכָ֗ה אֶל־עַ֥ם אַחֵֽר׃
vayyithallekhu miggoy el-goy mimmamlakha el-am acher
And when they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,
14לֹֽא־הִנִּ֣יחַ אָדָ֣ם לְעָשְׁקָ֑ם וַיּ֖וֹכַח עֲלֵיהֶ֣ם מְלָכִֽים׃
lo-hinniach adam le'ashkam vayyokhach alehem melakhim
He suffered no man to do them wrong, Yea, for their sake He reproved kings:
15אַֽל־תִּגְּע֥וּ בִמְשִׁיחָ֑י וְ֝לִנְבִיאַי אַל־תָּרֵֽעוּ׃
al-tigge'u vimshichay velinvi'ay al-tare'u
'Touch not Mine anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm.'
16וַיִּקְרָ֣א רָ֭עָב עַל־הָאָ֑רֶץ כָּֽל־מַטֵּה־לֶ֥חֶם שָׁבָֽר׃
vayyikra ra'av al-ha'aretz kal-matte-lechem shavar
And He called a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread.
17שָׁלַ֣ח לִפְנֵיהֶ֣ם אִ֑ישׁ לְ֝עֶ֗בֶד נִמְכַּ֥ר יוֹסֵֽף׃
shalach lifnehem ish le'eved nimkar yosef
He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant;
18עִנּ֣וּ בַכֶּ֣בֶל רגליו [רַגְל֑וֹ] בַּ֝רְזֶ֗ל בָּ֣אָה נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃
innu vakkevel raglo barzel ba'a nafsho
His feet they hurt with fetters, His person was laid in iron;
19עַד־עֵ֥ת בֹּֽא־דְבָר֑וֹ אִמְרַ֖ת יְהוָ֣ה צְרָפָֽתְהוּ׃
ad-et bo-devaro imrat ADONAI tzerafathu
Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the LORD tested him.
20שָׁ֣לַח מֶ֭לֶךְ וַיַּתִּירֵ֑הוּ מֹשֵׁ֥ל עַ֝מִּ֗ים וַֽיְפַתְּחֵֽהוּ׃
shalach melekh vayyattirehu moshel ammim vayfattechehu
The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of the peoples, and set him free.
21שָׂמ֣וֹ אָד֣וֹן לְבֵית֑וֹ וּ֝מֹשֵׁ֗ל בְּכָל־קִנְיָנֽוֹ׃
samo adon leveto umoshel bekhal-kinyano
He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his possessions;
22לֶאְסֹ֣ר שָׂרָ֣יו בְּנַפְשׁ֑וֹ וּזְקֵנָ֥יו יְחַכֵּֽם׃
le'sor sarav benafsho uzekenav yechakkem
To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.
23וַיָּבֹ֣א יִשְׂרָאֵ֣ל מִצְרָ֑יִם וְ֝יַעֲקֹ֗ב גָּ֣ר בְּאֶֽרֶץ־חָֽם׃

Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24וַיֶּ֣פֶר אֶת־עַמּ֣וֹ מְאֹ֑ד וַ֝יַּֽעֲצִמֵהוּ מִצָּרָֽיו׃
vayyefer et-ammo me'od vayya'atzimehu mitzarav
And He increased His people greatly, And made them too mighty for their adversaries.
25הָפַ֣ךְ לִ֭בָּם לִשְׂנֹ֣א עַמּ֑וֹ לְ֝הִתְנַכֵּ֗ל בַּעֲבָדָֽיו׃
hafakh libbam lisno ammo lehitnakkel ba'avadav
He turned their heart to hate His people, To deal craftily with His servants.
26שָׁ֭לַח מֹשֶׁ֣ה עַבְדּ֑וֹ אַ֝הֲרֹ֗ן אֲשֶׁ֣ר בָּֽחַר־בּֽוֹ׃
shalach moshe avdo aharon asher bachar-bo
He sent Moses His servant, And Aaron whom He had chosen.
27שָֽׂמוּ־בָ֭ם דִּבְרֵ֣י אֹתוֹתָ֑יו וּ֝מֹפְתִ֗ים בְּאֶ֣רֶץ חָֽם׃
samu-vam divre ototav umoftim be'eretz cham
They wrought among them His manifold signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
28שָׁ֣לַֽח חֹ֭שֶׁךְ וַיַּחְשִׁ֑ךְ וְלֹֽא־מָ֝ר֗וּ אֶת־דברוו [דְּבָרֽוֹ]׃
shalach choshekh vayyachshikh velo-maru et-devaro
He sent darkness, and it was dark; And they rebelled not against His word.
29הָפַ֣ךְ אֶת־מֵימֵיהֶ֣ם לְדָ֑ם וַ֝יָּ֗מֶת אֶת־דְּגָתָֽם׃
hafakh et-memehem ledam vayyamet et-degatam
He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.
30שָׁרַ֣ץ אַרְצָ֣ם צְפַרְדְּעִ֑ים בְּ֝חַדְרֵ֗י מַלְכֵיהֶֽם׃

Their land swarmed with frogs, In the chambers of their kings.

He gave them hail for rain, And flaming fire in their land.
33וַיַּ֣ךְ גַּ֭פְנָם וּתְאֵנָתָ֑ם וַ֝יְשַׁבֵּ֗ר עֵ֣ץ גְּבוּלָֽם׃

He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; And broke the trees of their borders.

amar vayyavo arbe veyelek ve'en mispar
He spoke, and the locust came, And the canker-worm without number,
35וַיֹּ֣אכַל כָּל־עֵ֣שֶׂב בְּאַרְצָ֑ם וַ֝יֹּ֗אכַל פְּרִ֣י אַדְמָתָֽם׃

And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.
