1 Chron 16.8-22. O give thanks to the Lord, call on his name,
make known his deeds among the peoples!
2Sing to him, sing praises to him,
tell of all his wonderful works!
3Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!
4Seek the Lord and his strength,
seek his presence continually!
5Remember the wonderful works that he has done,
his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
6O offspring of Abraham his servant,
sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
7He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.

Lk 1.72-73. He is mindful of his covenant for ever,
of the word that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
9the covenant which he made with Abraham,
his sworn promise to Isaac,
10which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
as your portion for an inheritance.”
12When they were few in number,
of little account, and sojourners in it,
13wandering from nation to nation,
from one kingdom to another people,
14he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their account,
15saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!”
16When he summoned a famine on the land,
and broke every staff of bread,
17he had sent a man ahead of them,
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18His feet were hurt with fetters,
his neck was put in a collar of iron;
19until what he had said came to pass
the word of the Lord tested him.
20The king sent and released him,
the ruler of the peoples set him free;
21he made him lord of his house,
and ruler of all his possessions,
22to instruct#105.22 Gk Syr Jerome: Heb to bind his princes at his pleasure,
and to teach his elders wisdom.
23Then Israel came to Egypt;
Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24And the Lord made his people very fruitful,
and made them stronger than their foes.
25He turned their hearts to hate his people,
to deal craftily with his servants.
26He sent Moses his servant,
and Aaron whom he had chosen.
27They wrought his signs among them,
and miracles in the land of Ham.
28He sent darkness, and made the land dark;
they rebelled#105.28 Cn Compare Gk Syr: Heb they did not rebel against his words.
29He turned their waters into blood,
and caused their fish to die.
30Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in the chambers of their kings.
31He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
and gnats throughout their country.
32He gave them hail for rain,
and lightning that flashed through their land.
33He smote their vines and fig trees,
and shattered the trees of their country.
34He spoke, and the locusts came,
and young locusts without number;
35which devoured all the vegetation in their land,
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36He smote all the first-born in their land,
the first issue of all their strength.
37Then he led forth Israel with silver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38Egypt was glad when they departed,
for dread of them had fallen upon it.
39He spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40They asked, and he brought quails,
and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
41He opened the rock, and water gushed forth;
it flowed through the desert like a river.
42For he remembered his holy promise,
and Abraham his servant.
43So he led forth his people with joy,
his chosen ones with singing.
44And he gave them the lands of the nations;
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,
45to the end that they should keep his statutes,
and observe his laws.
Praise the Lord!

PSALM 105
1Give ye thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; make known his acts among the peoples. 2Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him; meditate upon all his wondrous works. 3Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. 4Seek Jehovah and his strength, seek his face continually; 5Remember his wondrous works which he hath done, his miracles and the judgments of his mouth: 6Ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye sons of Jacob, his chosen ones. 7He, Jehovah, is our God#GodHebrew: Elohim his judgments are in all the earth.
8He is ever mindful of his covenant, — the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, — 9Which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; 10And he confirmed it unto Jacob for a statute, unto Israel for an everlasting covenant, 11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance; 12When they were a few men in number, of small account, and strangers in it. 13And they went from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people. 14He suffered no man to oppress them, and reproved kings for their sakes, 15Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm. 16And he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole staff of bread. 17He sent a man before them: Joseph was sold for a bondman. 18They afflicted his feet with fetters; his soul came into irons; 19Until the time when what he said came about: the word of Jehovah tried him. 20The king sent and loosed him — the ruler of peoples — and let him go free. 21He made him lord of his house, and ruler over all his possessions: 22To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom. 23And Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. 24And he made his people exceeding fruitful, and made them mightier than their oppressors.
25He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants. 26He sent Moses his servant, and Aaron whom he had chosen: 27They set his signs among them, and miracles in the land of Ham. 28He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word. 29He turned their waters into blood, and caused their fish to die. 30Their land swarmed with frogs, — in the chambers of their kings. 31He spoke, and there came dog-flies, and gnats in all their borders. 32He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land; 33And he smote their vines and their fig-trees, and broke the trees of their borders. 34He spoke, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, even without number; 35And they devoured every herb in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground. 36And he smote every firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigour. 37And he brought them forth with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble among their tribes. 38Egypt rejoiced at their departure; for the fear of them had fallen upon them. 39He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night. 40They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. 41He opened the rock, and waters gushed forth; they ran in the dry places like a river. 42For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham his servant; 43And he brought forth his people with gladness, his chosen with rejoicing; 44And he gave them the lands of the nations, and they took possession of the labour of the peoples: 45That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Hallelujah!
