| Chapter 105 |
1 |
O give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. |
2 |
Sing to him, sing psalms to him: talk ye of all his wondrous works. |
3 |
Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD. |
4 |
Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore. |
5 |
Remember his wonderful works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; |
6 |
O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. |
7 |
He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth. |
8 |
He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. |
9 |
Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac; |
10 |
And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant: |
11 |
Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance: |
12 |
When they were a few men in number; yes, very few, and strangers in it. |
13 |
When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people; |
14 |
He suffered no man to do them wrong: yes, he reproved kings for their sakes; |
15 |
Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm. |
16 |
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he broke the whole staff of bread. |
17 |
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: |
18 |
Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron: |
19 |
Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him. |
20 |
The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. |
21 |
He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance: |
22 |
To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom. |
23 |
Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham. |
24 |
And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies. |
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 showed his signs among them, and wonders 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 slew their fish. |
30 |
Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings. |
31 |
He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their borders. |
32 |
He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land. |
33 |
He smote their vines also and their fig-trees; and broke the trees of their borders. |
34 |
He spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number, |
35 |
And ate up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. |
36 |
He smote also all the first-born in their land, the chief of all their strength. |
37 |
He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. |
38 |
Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them. |
39 |
He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night. |
40 |
The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. |
41 |
He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river. |
42 |
For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant. |
43 |
And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness: |
44 |
And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labor of the people; |
45 |
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD. |
