Chapter 105

  O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people.  

-

  Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of all his wondrous works.  

-

  Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.  

-

  Seek the LORD, 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.  

-

  He [is] the LORD 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.  

-

  Which [covenant] he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;  

-

  And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, [and] 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 strangers in it.  

-

  When they went from one nation to another, 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, and do my prophets no harm.  

-

  Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.  

-

  He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:  

-

  Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:  

-

  Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.  

-

  The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, 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 senators 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 enemies.  

-

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

-

  He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.  

-

  They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.  

-

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

-

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

-

  Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings.  

-

  He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their coasts.  

-

  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 coasts.  

-

  He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,  

-

  And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground.  

-

  He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.  

-

  He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble [person] among their tribes.  

-

  Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.  

-

  He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.  

-

  [The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.  

-

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

-

  For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant.  

-

  And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness:  

-

  And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;  

-

  That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
