Chapter 105

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

--

  Sing to him, sing psalms to 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 wonderful 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 to Isaac;  

--

  And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:  

--

  Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:  

--

  When they were a few men in number; yes, 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: yes, he reproved kings for their sakes;  

--

  Saying, Touch not my anointed, and do my prophets no harm.  

--

  Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he broke 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 showed 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 spoke, and there came divers sorts 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 broke the trees of their borders.  

--

  He spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and that without number,  

--

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

--

  He smote also all the first-born 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 labor of the people;  

--

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