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. |
