Chapter 105 |
| 1 | O give thanks
unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
|
| 2 | Sing unto him, sing psalms unto 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 marvellous 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 unto Isaac; |
| 10 | And
confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to 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 but a few men in number; yea,
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: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; |
| 15 |
Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm. |
| 16 |
Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake 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 shewed
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 spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their
coasts. |
| 32
| He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their
land. |
| 33 |
He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the
trees of their coasts. |
| 34 | He spake, and the locusts came, and
caterpillers, and that without number, |
| 35 | And did eat up all the herbs
in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground. |
| 36 | He smote
also all the firstborn 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 labour of the
people; |
| 45
| That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.
Praise ye the LORD. |
