Psalms
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.
