Chapter 105

  Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings.  

-

  Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvelous works.  

-

  Glory ye in his holy name: Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.  

-

  Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.  

-

  Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,  

-

  O ye seed of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.  

-

  He is Jehovah our God: His judgments are in all the earth.  

-

  He hath remembered his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,  

-

  [The covenant] which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,  

-

  And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,  

-

  Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;  

-

  When they were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it.  

-

  And they went about from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people.  

-

  He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,  

-

  [Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.  

-

  And he called for a famine upon the land; He brake the whole staff of bread.  

-

  He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:  

-

  His feet they hurt with fetters: He was laid in [chains of] iron,  

-

  Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried him.  

-

  The king sent and loosed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.  

-

  He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his substance;  

-

  To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his elders wisdom.  

-

  Israel also came into Egypt; And Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.  

-

  And he increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their adversaries.  

-

  He turned their heart to hate his people, To deal subtly with his servants.  

-

  He sent Moses his servant, [And] Aaron whom he had chosen.  

-

  They set among them his signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.  

-

  He sent darkness, and made it dark; And they rebelled not against his words.  

-

  He turned their waters into blood, And slew their fish.  

-

  Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings.  

-

  He spake, and there came swarms of flies, And lice in all their borders.  

-

  He gave them hail for rain, [And] flaming fire in their land.  

-

  He smote their vines also and their fig-trees, And brake the trees of their borders.  

-

  He spake, and the locust came, And the grasshopper, and that without number,  

-

  And did eat up every herb in their land, And did eat up the fruit of their ground.  

-

  He smote also all the first-born in their land, The chief of all their strength.  

-

  And he brought them forth with silver and gold; And there was not one feeble person among his tribes.  

-

  Egypt was glad when they departed; For the fear of them had fallen upon them.  

-

  He spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to give light in the night.  

-

  They asked, and he brought quails, And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.  

-

  He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; They ran in the dry places [like] a river.  

-

  For he remembered his holy word, [And] Abraham his servant.  

-

  And he brought forth his people with joy, [And] his chosen with singing.  

-

  And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession:  

-

  That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 106
