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. |
