The Psalms

Psalm 105

 ^105:1Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name;

 Make known among the peoples his doings.

 ^105:2Sing unto him, sing praises unto him;

 Talk ye of all his marvelous works.

 ^105:3Glory ye in his holy name:

 Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.

 ^105:4Seek ye Jehovah and his strength;

 Seek his face evermore.

 ^105:5Remember his marvellous works that he hath done,

 His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,

 ^105:6O ye seed of Abraham his servant,

 Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.

 ^105:7He is Jehovah our God:

 His judgments are in all the earth.

 ^105:8He hath remembered his covenant for ever,

 The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

 ^105:9The covenant which he made with Abraham,

 And his oath unto Isaac,

 ^105:10And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute,

 To Israel for an everlasting covenant,

 ^105:11Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,

 The lot of your inheritance;

 ^105:12When they were but a few men in number,

 Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.

 ^105:13And they went about from nation to nation,

 From one kingdom to another people.

 ^105:14He suffered no man to do them wrong;

 Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,

 ^105:15Saying, Touch not mine anointed ones,

 And do my prophets no harm.

 ^105:16And he called for a famine upon the land;

 He brake the whole staff of bread.

 ^105:17He sent a man before them;

 Joseph was sold for a servant:

 ^105:18His feet they hurt with fetters:

 He was laid in chains of iron,

 ^105:19Until the time that his word came to pass,

 The word of Jehovah tried him.

 ^105:20The king sent and loosed him;

 Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

 ^105:21He made him lord of his house,

 And ruler of all his substance;

 ^105:22To bind his princes at his pleasure,

 And teach his elders wisdom.

 ^105:23Israel also came into Egypt;

 And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

 ^105:24And he increased his people greatly,

 And made them stronger than their adversaries.

 ^105:25He turned their heart to hate his people,

 To deal subtly with his servants.

 ^105:26He sent Moses his servant,

 And Aaron whom he had chosen.

 ^105:27They set among them his signs,

 And wonders in the land of Ham.

 ^105:28He sent darkness, and made it dark;

 And they rebelled not against his words.

 ^105:29He turned their waters into blood,

 And slew their fish.

 ^105:30Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.

 ^105:31He spake, and there came swarms of flies,

 And lice in all their borders.

 ^105:32He gave them hail for rain,

 And flaming fire in their land.

 ^105:33He smote their vines also and their fig-trees,

 And brake the trees of their borders.

 ^105:34He spake, and the locust came,

 And the grasshopper, and that without number,

 ^105:35And did eat up every herb in their land,

 And did eat up the fruit of their ground.

 ^105:36He smote also all the first-born in their land,

 The chief of all their strength.

 ^105:37And he brought them forth with silver and gold;

 And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.

 ^105:38Egypt was glad when they departed;

 For the fear of them had fallen upon them.

 ^105:39He spread a cloud for a covering,

 And fire to give light in the night.

 ^105:40They asked, and he brought quails,

 And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

 ^105:41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out;

 They ran in the dry places like a river.

 ^105:42For he remembered his holy word,

 And Abraham his servant.

 ^105:43And he brought forth his people with joy,

 And his chosen with singing.

 ^105:44And he gave them the lands of the nations;

 And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:

 ^105:45That they might keep his statutes,

 And observe his laws.

 Praise ye Jehovah.
