Psalm 105
1 O give
thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name: make known
his deeds among the people.
2 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him: talk ye of
all his wondrous works.
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them
rejoice that seek the Lord.
4 Seek the Lord, and his strength: seek his face
evermore.
5 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done;
his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of
Jacob his chosen.
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all
the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word
which he commanded to a thousand generations.
9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath
unto Isaac;
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and
to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan,
the lot of your inheritance:
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very
few, and strangers in it.
13 When they went from one nation to another, from
one kingdom to another people;
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he
reproved kings for their sakes;
15 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my
prophets no harm.
16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he
brake the whole staff of bread.
17 He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was
sold for a servant:
18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in
iron:
19 Until the time that his word came: the word of
the Lord tried him.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of
the people, and let him go free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all
his substance:
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach
his senators wisdom.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned
in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people greatly; and made
them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal
subtilly with his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had
chosen.
27 They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in
the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they
rebelled not against his word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their
fish.
30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in
the chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies,
and lice in all their coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, and flaming fire in
their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees;
and brake the trees of their coasts.
34 He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers,
and that without number,
35 And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and
devoured the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land,
the chief of all their strength.
37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold:
and there was not one feeble person among their
tribes.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear
of them fell upon them.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to
give light in the night.
40 The people asked, and he brought quails, and
satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out;
they ran in the dry places like a river.
42 For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham
his servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his
chosen with gladness:
44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they
inherited the labour of the people;
45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep
his laws. Praise ye the Lord.
