1 O give thanks to the Lord and call upon his name; ♦︎
make known his deeds among the peoples.
2 Sing to him, sing praises, ♦︎
and tell of all his marvellous works.
3 Rejoice in the praise of his holy name; ♦︎
let the hearts of them rejoice who seek the Lord.
4 Seek the Lord and his strength; ♦︎
seek his face continually.
5 Remember the marvels he has done, ♦︎
his wonders and the judgements of his mouth,
6 O seed of Abraham his servant, ♦︎
O children of Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the Lord our God; ♦︎
his judgements are in all the earth.
8 He has always been mindful of his covenant, ♦︎
the promise that he made for a thousand generations:
9 The covenant he made with Abraham, ♦︎
the oath that he swore to Isaac,
10 Which he established as a statute for Jacob, ♦︎
an everlasting covenant for Israel,
11 Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan ♦︎
to be the portion of your inheritance.
12 When they were but few in number, ♦︎
of little account, and sojourners in the land,
13 Wandering from nation to nation, ♦︎
from one kingdom to another people,
14 He suffered no one to do them wrong ♦︎
and rebuked even kings for their sake,
15 Saying, Touch not my anointed ♦︎
and do my prophets no harm.
16 Then he called down famine over the land ♦︎
and broke every staff of bread.
17 But he had sent a man before them, ♦︎
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18 They shackled his feet with fetters; ♦︎
his neck was ringed with iron.
19 Until all he foretold came to pass, ♦︎
the word of the Lord tested him.
20 The king sent and released him; ♦︎
the ruler of peoples set him free.
21 He appointed him lord of his household ♦︎
and ruler of all he possessed,
22 To instruct his princes as he willed ♦︎
and to teach his counsellors wisdom.

8Now the main point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2a minister in the sanctuary and the true tent* that the Lord, and not any mortal, has set up. 3For every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices; hence it is necessary for this priest also to have something to offer. 4Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law. 5They offer worship in a sanctuary that is a sketch and shadow of the heavenly one; for Moses, when he was about to erect the tent,* was warned, See that you make everything according to the pattern that was shown you on the mountain. 6But Jesus* has now obtained a more excellent ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted through better promises. 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need to look for a second one.
