Psalms - 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.
