Book of Psalms

Chapter 105

105:1

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

105:2

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

105:3

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

105:4

Seek the LORD, and his strength: seek his face evermore.

105:5

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

105:6

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

105:7

He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.

105:8

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

105:9

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

105:10

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

105:11

Saying, Unto thee will I 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 suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;

105:15

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

105:16

Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake 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: the word of the LORD tried 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 substance:

105:22

To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

105:23

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned 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 subtilly with his servants.

105:26

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

105:27

They shewed 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 slew their fish.

105:30

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

105:31

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

105:32

He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in their land.

105:33

He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

105:34

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

105:35

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

105:36

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

105:37

He brought them forth also 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 fell 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 quails, 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 promise, and Abraham his servant.

105:43

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

105:44

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

105:45

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