Confitemini Domino.
1 O give thanks unto the Lord, and | call up•on his | Name; ||
tell the | people • what | things • he hath | done. ||
2 O let your songs be of | him, and | praise him; ||
and let your talking be of | all his | wondrous | works. ||
3 Rejoice in his holy Name; * let the heart of them re- | joice that • seek the | Lord. ||
4 Seek the Lord and his | strength; • seek his | face • ever- | more. ||
5 Remember the marvellous works that he hath done; * his wonders, and the | judgments • of his | mouth; ||
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, * ye | 3 children of | 3 Jacob his | chosen. ||
7 He is the Lord our God; * his judgments are in | all the | world. ||
8 He hath been alway mindful of his covenant and promise, that he | made • to a | thousand • gener- | ations; ||
9 Even the covenant that he | made with | Abra•ham; ||
and the | oath • that he | sware • unto | Isaac; ||
10 And appointed the same unto | Jacob • for a | law, ||
and to | Israel • for an | ever•lasting | testa•ment; ||
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the | land of | Canaan, ||
the | lot of | your in- | heri•tance: ||
12 When there were | yet • but a | few of • them, ||
and they | strangers | in the | land; ||
13 What time as they went from one | nation • to an- | other, ||
from one | kingdom • to an- | other | people; ||
14 He suffered no man to | do them | wrong, ||
but re- | proved • even | 3 kings for • their | sakes; ||
15 Touch not | mine a- | nointed, ||
and | do my | 3 prophets no | harm. ||
16 Moreover, he called for a | dearth up•on the | land, ||
and destroyed | all • the pro- | 3 vision of | bread. ||
17 But he had sent a | man be- | fore them, ||
even | Joseph, • who was | sold to • be a | bond•servant; ||
18 Whose feet they hurt in the stocks; * the iron entered | 3 into his | soul; ||
19 Until the time came that his cause was known: * the | word • of the | Lord | tried him. ||
20 The king | sent, • and de- | livered • him; ||
the prince of the | people | let him • go | free. ||
21 He made him lord | also • of his | house, ||
and | 3 ruler of | all his | substance; ||
22 That he might inform his princes | 3 after his | will, ||
and | teach his | sena•tors | wisdom. ||
23 Israel also 3 came | into | Egypt, ||
and Jacob was a | stranger • in the | land of | Ham. ||
24 And he increased his | 3 people ex- | ceeding•ly, ||
and | made them | stronger • than their | ene•mies; ||
25 Whose heart turned so, that they | 3 hated his | people, ||
and | dealt un- | truly • with his | servants. ||
26 Then sent he | 3 Moses his | servant, ||
and | Aaron | 3 whom he • had | chosen. ||
27 And these showed his | 3 tokens a- | mong them, ||
and | wonders • in the | land of | Ham. ||
28 He sent darkness, 3 and | it was | dark; ||
and they were not o- | be•dient | 3 unto his | word. ||
29 He turned their waters into blood, and | slew their | fish. ||
30 Their land brought forth frogs; yea, | even • in their | kings’ | chambers. ||
31 He spake the word, and there came all | 3 manner of | flies, ||
and | lice in | all their | quarters. ||
32 He gave them | 3 hailstones for | rain; ||
and | flames of | fire • in their | land. ||
33 He smote their vines | 3 also and | fig-trees; ||
and destroyed the | trees • that were | in their | coasts. ||
34 He spake the word, and the grasshoppers came, * and | cater•pillars in- | numer•able, ||
and did eat up all the grass in their land, * and de- | voured the | 3 fruit of • their | ground. ||
35 He smote all the | firstborn • in their | land; ||
even the | chief of | all their | strength. ||
36 He brought them forth also with silver and gold; * there was not one feeble person a- | mong their | tribes. ||
37 Egypt was glad at their de- | 3 parting; for | 3 they were • a- | fraid of • them. ||
38 He spread out a | cloud to • be a | cover•ing, ||
and | fire • to give | light • in the | night • season. ||
39 At their de- | sire he • brought | quails; ||
and he | filled them • with the | bread of | heaven. ||
40 He opened the rock of stone, and the waters flowed out, * so that rivers 3 ran | in the • dry | places. ||
41 For why? * he remembered his holy | promise; • and | Abra•ham his | servant. ||
*§ 42 And he | brought • forth his | 3 people ||
Or, 42 And he brought forth his | 3 people • with | joy, ||
3 and | — his | 3 chosen • with | gladness; ||
with | joy, • and his | 3 chosen with | gladness; ||
43 And gave them the | lands • of the | heathen; ||
and they took the | labours • of the | people • in pos- | session; ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
