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

1
Alleluia. Give thanks to the Lord; for he is good: for his mercy [endures] for ever.
2
Who shall tell the mighty acts of the Lord? [who] shall cause all his praises to be heard?
3
Blessed are they that keep judgment, and do righteousness at all times.
4
Remember us, O Lord, with the favour [thou hast] to thy people: visit us with thy salvation;
5
that we may behold the good of thine elect, that we may rejoice in the gladness of thy nation, that we may glory with thine inheritance.
6
We have sinned with our fathers, we have transgressed, we have done unrighteously.
7
Our fathers in Egypt understood not thy wonders, and remembered not the multitude of thy mercy; but provoked [him] as they went up by the Red Sea.
8
Yet he saved them for his name's sake, that he might cause his mighty power to be known.
9
And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: so he led them through the deep as through the wilderness.
10
And he saved them out of the hand of them that hated [them], and redeemed them out of the hand of the enemy.
11
The water covered those that oppressed them: there was not one of them left.
12
Then they believed his words, and celebrated his praise.
13
They made haste, they forgot his works; they waited not for his counsel.
14
And they lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the dry [land].
15
And he gave them their request, and sent fulness into their souls.
16
They provoked Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
17
The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and closed upon the congregation of Abiron.
18
And a fire was kindled in their congregation, and a flame burnt up the sinners.
19
And they made a calf in Choreb, and worshipped the graven image,
20
and they changed their glory into the similitude of a calf that feeds on grass.
21
They forgot God that saved them, who had wrought great deeds in Egypt;
22
wondrous [works] in the land of Cham, and terrible things at the Red Sea.
23
So he said that he would have destroyed them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, to turn [him] away from the fierceness of his anger, so that he should not destroy them.
24
Moreover they set at nought the desirable land, and believed not his word.
25
And they murmured in their tents: they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
26
So he lifted up his hand against them, to cast them down in the wilderness;
27
and to cast down their seed among the nations, and to scatter them in the countries.
28
They were joined also to Beelphegor, and ate the sacrifices of the dead. And they provoked him with their devices;
29
and destruction was multiplied among them.
30
Then Phinees stood up, and made atonement: and the plague ceased.
31
And it was counted to him for righteousness, to all generations for ever.
32
They provoked him also at the water of Strife, and Moses was hurt for their sakes;
33
for they provoked his spirit, and he spoke [unadvisedly] with his lips.
34
They destroyed not the nations which the Lord told them [to destroy];
35
but were mingled with the heathen, and learned their works.
36
And they served their graven images; and it became an offence to them.
37
And they sacrificed their sons and their daughters to devils,
38
and shed innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan; and the land was defiled with blood,
39
and was polluted with their works; and they went a whoring with their own devices.
40
So the Lord was very angry with his people, and he abhorred his inheritance.
41
And he delivered them into the hands of [their] enemies; and they that hated them ruled over them.
42
And their enemies oppressed them, and they were brought down under their hands.
43
Many a time he delivered them; but they provoked him by their counsel, and they were brought low by their iniquities.
44
Yet the Lord looked upon their affliction, when he heard their petition.
45
And he remembered his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his mercy.
46
And he caused them to be pitied in the sight of all who carried them captive.
47
Save us, O Lord our God, and gather us from among the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, that we may glory in thy praise.
48
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from everlasting and to everlasting; and all the people shall say, Amen, Amen.

1
Alleluia. Confitemini Domino quoniam bonus: quoniam in sæculum misericordia eius.
2
Quis loquetur potentias Domini, auditas faciet omnes laudes eius?
3
Beati, qui custodiunt iudicium, et faciunt iustitiam in omni tempore.
4
Memento nostri Domine in beneplacito populi tui: visita nos in salutari tuo:
5
Ad videndum in bonitate electorum tuorum, ad lætandum in lætitia gentis tuæ: ut lauderis cum hereditate tua.
6
Peccavimus cum patribus nostris: iniuste egimus, iniquitatem fecimus.
7
Patres nostri in Ægypto non intellexerunt mirabilia tua: non fuerunt memores multitudinis misericordiæ tuæ. Et irritaverunt ascendentes in mare, Mare rubrum.
8
Et salvavit eos propter nomen suum: ut notam faceret potentiam suam.
9
Et increpuit Mare rubrum, et exiccatum est: et deduxit eos in abyssis sicut in deserto.
10
Et salvavit eos de manu odientium: et redemit eos de manu inimici.
11
Et operuit aqua tribulantes eos: unus ex eis non remansit.
12
Et crediderunt verbis eius: et laudaverunt laudem eius.
13
Cito fecerunt, obliti sunt operum eius: et non sustinuerunt consilium eius.
14
Et concupierunt concupiscentiam in deserto: et tentaverunt Deum in inaquoso
15
Et dedit eis petitionem ipsorum: et misit saturitatem in animas eorum.
16
Et irritaverunt Moysen in castris: Aaron sanctum Domini.
17
Aperta est terra, et deglutivit Dathan: et operuit super congregationem Abiron.
18
Et exarsit ignis in synagoga eorum: flamma combussit peccatores.
19
Et fecerunt vitulum in Horeb: et adoraverunt sculptile.
20
Et mutaverunt gloriam suam in similitudinem vituli comedentis fœnum.
21
Obliti sunt Deum, qui salvavit eos, qui fecit magnalia in Ægypto,
22
mirabilia in Terra Cham: terribilia in mari rubro.
23
Et dixit ut disperderet eos: si non Moyses electus eius stetisset in confractione in conspectu eius: Ut averteret iram eius ne disperderet eos:
24
et pro nihilo habuerunt terram desiderabilem: Non crediderunt verbo eius,
25
et murmuraverunt in tabernaculis suis: non exaudierunt vocem Domini.
26
Et elevavit manum suam super eos: ut prosterneret eos in deserto:
27
Et ut deiiceret semen eorum in Nationibus: et dispergeret eos in regionibus.
28
Et initiati sunt Beelphegor: et comederunt sacrificia mortuorum.
29
Et irritaverunt eum in adinventionibus suis: et multiplicata est in eis ruina.
30
Et stetit Phinees, et placavit: et cessavit quassatio.
31
Et reputatum est ei in iustitiam, in generationem et generationem usque in sempiternum.
32
Et irritaverunt eum ad Aquas contradictionis: et vexatus est Moyses propter eos:
33
quia exacerbaverunt spiritum eius. Et distinxit in labiis suis:
34
non disperdiderunt gentes, quas dixit Dominus illis.
35
Et commisti sunt inter gentes, et didicerunt opera eorum:
36
et servierunt sculptilibus eorum: et factum est illis in scandalum.
37
Et immolaverunt filios suos, et filias suas dæmoniis.
38
Et effuderunt sanguinem innocentem: sanguinem filiorum suorum et filiarum suarum, quas sacrificaverunt sculptilibus Chanaan. Et infecta est terra in sanguinibus,
39
et contaminata est in operibus eorum: et fornicati sunt in adinventionibus suis.
40
Et iratus est furore Dominus in populum suum: et abominatus est hereditatem suam.
41
Et tradidit eos in manus gentium: et dominati sunt eorum qui oderunt eos.
42
Et tribulaverunt eos inimici eorum, et humiliati sunt sub manibus eorum:
43
sæpe liberavit eos. Ipsi autem exacerbaverunt eum in consilio suo: et humiliati sunt in iniquitatibus suis.
44
Et vidit cum tribularentur: et audivit orationem eorum.
45
Et memor fuit testamenti sui: et pœnituit eum secundum multitudinem misericordiæ suæ.
46
Et dedit eos in misericordias in conspectu omnium qui ceperant eos.
47
Salvos nos fac Domine Deus noster: et congrega nos de Nationibus: Ut confiteamur nomini sancto tuo: et gloriemur in laude tua.
48
Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel a sæculo et usque in sæculum: et dicet omnis populus: Fiat, fiat.

8
He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
11
saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance,”
12
when they were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners in it.
13
They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.

He 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!”
16
He called for a famine on the land. He destroyed the food supplies.
17
He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave.
18
They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons,
19
until the time that his word happened, and the LORD’s word proved him true.
20
The king sent and freed him, even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
21
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all of his possessions,
22
to discipline his princes at his pleasure, and to teach his elders wisdom.

He spoke, and swarms of flies came, and lice in all their borders.
32
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning in their land.
33
He struck their vines and also their fig trees, and shattered the trees of their country.
34
He spoke, and the locusts came with the grasshoppers, without number.
35
They ate up every plant in their land, and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36
He struck also all the firstborn in their land, the first fruits of all their manhood.
37
He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes.

Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen on them.

They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.
41
He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran as a river in the dry places.
42
For he remembered his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43
He brought his people out with joy, his chosen with singing.
44
He gave them the lands of the nations. They took the labor of the peoples in possession,
45
that they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise the LORD!

Explanations by Age Level
Explain Like I'm 5
A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
