| 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.
