Alleluia. 105:1 Give thanks to the Lord,
and call upon his name; declare his works among the heathen.
105:2 Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: tell forth all his wonderful
works.
105:3 Glory in his holy name: let the heart of them that seek the Lord
rejoice.
105:4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened; seek his face continually.
105:5 Remember his wonderful works that he has done; his wonders, and the
judgments of his mouth;
105:6 [ye] seed of Abraam, his servants, [ye] children of Jacob, his chosen
ones.
105:7 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth.
105:8 He has remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded
for a thousand generation:
105:9 which he established as a covenant to Abraam, and [he remembered] his
oath to Isaac.
105:10 And he established it to Jacob for an ordinance, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant;
105:11 saying To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the line of your
inheritance:
105:12 when they were few in number, very few, and sojourners in it.
105:13 And they went from nation to nation, and from [one] kingdom to
another people.
105:14 He suffered no man to wrong them; and he rebuked kings for their
sakes:
105:15 [saying], Touch not my anointed ones; and do my prophets no harm.
105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land; he broke the whole
support of bread.
105:17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a slave.
105:18 They hurt his feet with fetters; his soul passed into iron,
105:19 until the time that his cause came on; the word of the Lord tried him
as fire.
105:20 The king sent and loosed him; [even] the prince of the people, and
let him go free.
105:21 He made him Lord over his house, and ruler of all his substance;
105:22 to chastise his rulers at his pleasure, and to teach his elders
wisdom.
105:23 Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob sojourned in the land of Cham.
105:24 And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than
their enemies.
105:25 And he turned their heart to hate his people, to deal craftily with
his servants.
105:26 He sent fort Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
105:27 He established among them his signs, and [his] wonders in the land of
Cham.
105:28 He sent forth darkness, and made it dark; yet they rebelled against
his words.
105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
105:30 Their land produce frogs abundantly, in the chambers of their kings.
105:31 He spoke, and the dog-fly came, and lice in all their coasts.
105:32 He turned their rain into hail, [and sent] flaming fire in their
land.
105:33 And he smote their vines and their fig trees; and broke every tree of
their coast.
105:34 He spoke, and the locust came, and caterpillars innumerable,
105:35 and devoured all the grass in their land, and devoured the fruit of
the ground.
105:36 He smote also every first-born of their land, the first-fruits of all
their labour.
105:37 And he brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not a
feeble one among their tribes.
105:38 Egypt rejoiced at their departing; for the fear of them fell upon
them.
105:39 He spread out a cloud for a covering to them, and fire to give them
light by night.
105:40 They asked, and the quail came, and he satisfied them with the bread
of heaven.
105:41 He clave the rock, and the waters flowed, rivers ran in dry places.
105:42 For he remembered his holy word, which [he promised] to Abraam his
servant.
105:43 And he brought out his people with exultation, and his chosen with
joy;
105:44 and gave them the lands of the heathen; and they inherited the
labours of the people;
105:45 that they might keep his ordinances, and diligently seek his law. |
105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD;
call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.
105:2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous
works.
105:3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the
LORD.
105:4 Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.
105:5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the
judgments of his mouth;
105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
105:7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
105:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded
to a thousand generations.
105:9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
105:10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an
everlasting covenant:
105:11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your
inheritance:
105:12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers
in it.
105:13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to
another people;
105:14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their
sakes;
105:15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
105:16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole
staff of bread.
105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:
105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:
105:19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
105:20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of the people, and let
him go free.
105:21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
105:23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
105:24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than
their enemies.
105:25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his
servants.
105:26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.
105:27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
105:28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his
word.
105:29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their
kings.
105:31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, and lice in all their
coasts.
105:32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
105:33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of
their coasts.
105:34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without
number,
105:35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of
their ground.
105:36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their
strength.
105:37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not
one feeble person among their tribes.
105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon
them.
105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the
night.
105:40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the
bread of heaven.
105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry
places like a river.
105:42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.
105:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with
gladness:
105:44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour
of the people;
105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye
the LORD. |
