105:1 O give thanks to the LORD; call upon his name: make known
his deeds among the people.
105:2 Sing to him, sing psalms to 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 wonderful 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 to
Isaac;
105:10 And confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, [and] to
Israel [for] an everlasting covenant:
105:11 Saying, To thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot
of your inheritance:
105:12 When they were a few men in number; yes, 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: yes, 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: 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 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 slew their fish.
105:30 Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the
chambers of their kings.
105:31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and]
lice in all their borders.
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 broke
the trees of their borders.
105:34 He spoke, and the locusts came, and caterpillars, and
that without number,
105:35 And ate up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the
fruit of their ground.
105:36 He smote also all the first-born 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 labor of the people;
105:45 That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws.
Praise ye the LORD.
