Psalms 105

1 Give thanks unto theLord, call upon his name; make known his doings among the peoples.

2 Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; talk ye of all his marvelous works.

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

4 Seek ye theLordand his strength; seek his face evermore.

5 Remember his marvelous 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 ones.

7 He is theLordour 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 The covenantwhich he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;

10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, 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 sojourners in it;

13 And they went about from nation to nation, 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 ones, and do my prophets no harm.

16 And he called for a famine upon the land; he brake the whole staff of bread.

17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:

18 His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid inchains ofiron:

19 Until the time that his word came to pass; the word of theLordtried him.

20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of peoples, 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 adversaries.

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

26 He sent Moses his servant,andAaron whom he had chosen.

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

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

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

30 Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.

31 He spake, and there came swarms of flies, and lice in all their borders.

32 He gave them hail for rain,andflaming fire in their land.

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

34 He spake, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, and that without number,

35 And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.

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

37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among his tribes.

38 Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.

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

40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran in the dry placeslikea river.

42 For he remembered his holy word,andAbraham his servant.

43 And he brought forth his people with joy,andhis chosen with singing.

44 And he gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the labour of the peoples in possession:

45 That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise ye theLord.
