105:1 O give thanks unto the LORD! Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the people. |
105:2 Sing to Him, sing praises unto Him; talk of all His wonderful works. |
105:3 Glory in His holy name; let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice. |
105:4 Seek the LORD and His strength; seek His face evermore. |
105:5 Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth, |
105:6 O you seed of Abraham His servant, you children of Jacob His chosen. |
105:7 He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth. |
105:8 He has remembered His covenant forever, the word which He commanded to a thousand generations; |
105:9 The covenant which He made with Abraham, and His oath to Isaac; |
105:10 And He confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant, |
105:11 Saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance," |
105:12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and strangers in it. |
105:13 When they went from one nation to another, from one kingdom to another people, |
105:14 He allowed no man to do them wrong; yea, He reproved kings for their sakes, |
105:15 Saying, "Touch not My anointed, and do My prophets no harm." |
105:16 Moreover He called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread. |
105:17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant, |
105:18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in iron, |
105:19 Until the time that his word came to pass, when the Word of the LORD tested him. |
105:20 The king sent and loosed him, even the ruler of the people, and let him go free. |
105:21 He made him lord of his house and ruler of all his possessions, |
105:22 To bind his princes at his pleasure and teach his elders wisdom. |
105:23 Israel also came into Egypt, and Jacob resided in the land of Ham. |
105:24 And He increased His people greatly and made them stronger than their enemies. |
105:25 He turned their heart to hate His people, to deal craftily with His servants. |
105:26 He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron whom He had chosen. |
105:27 They showed His signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham. |
105:28 He sent darkness and made it dark, and they rebelled not against His word. |
105:29 He turned their waters into blood and killed their fish. |
105:30 Their land swarmed with frogs in abundance, even in the chambers of their kings. |
105:31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies and gnats in all their borders. |
105:32 He gave them hail for rain and flaming fire in their land. |
105:33 He struck their vines also and their fig trees, and broke the trees of their borders. |
105:34 He spoke, and locusts came, and caterpillars without number; |
105:35 And they ate up all the plants in their land, and ate the fruit of their ground. |
105:36 He also struck all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength. |
105:37 He also brought them out with silver and gold; and there was not one feeble person among their tribes. |
105:38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the fear of them had fallen upon them. |
105:39 He spread a cloud for a covering, and fire to give light in the night. |
105:40 The people asked, and He brought quail, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven. |
105:41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river, |
105:42 For He remembered His holy word unto Abraham His servant. |
105:43 And He brought forth His people with joy, and His chosen with singing, |
105:44 And gave them the lands of the nations; and they inherited the labor of the people, |
105:45 So that they might take heed to His statutes and keep His laws. Praise the LORD! |
