| 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. --
