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 1oath unto Isaac;
  | 
10 |  
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:  | 
11 | 
Saying, 1Unto 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 1strangers 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 
1reproved kings for their sakes;
  | 
 
15 | Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.  | 
16 | Moreover he called for a 
1famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
  | 
17 | He sent a man before them, even 
1Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
  | 
 
18 | Whose feet they hurt with 1fetters: he was laid in iron:
  | 
19 | Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.  | 
20 | The king 1sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the 
people, and let him go free.
  | 
21 | He 1made 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 1Ham.
  | 
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 adivers 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 1remembered 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.  |
