Psalms 105: 1 - 45
1Give thanks to the LORD! Call on his name! |
Make his doings known amongst the peoples. |
2Sing to him, sing praises to him! |
Tell of all his marvellous works. |
3Glory in his holy name. |
Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice. |
4Seek the LORD and his strength. |
Seek his face forever more. |
5Remember his marvellous works that he has done: |
his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth, |
6you offspring of Abraham, his servant, |
you children of Jacob, his chosen ones. |
7He is the LORD, our God. |
His judgements are in all the earth. |
8He has remembered his covenant forever, |
the word which he commanded to a thousand generations, |
9the covenant which he made with Abraham, |
his oath to Isaac, |
10and confirmed it to Jacob for a statute; |
to Israel for an everlasting covenant, |
11saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan, |
the lot of your inheritance,” |
12when they were but a few men in number, |
yes, very few, and foreigners in it. |
13They went about from nation to nation, |
from one kingdom to another people. |
14He allowed no one to do them wrong. |
Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes, |
15“Don’t touch my anointed ones! |
Do my prophets no harm!” |
16He called for a famine on the land. |
He destroyed the food supplies. |
17He sent a man before them. |
Joseph was sold for a slave. |
18They bruised his feet with shackles. |
His neck was locked in irons, |
19until the time that his word happened, |
and the LORD’s word proved him true. |
20The king sent and freed him, |
even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free. |
21He made him lord of his house, |
and ruler of all of his possessions, |
22to discipline his princes at his pleasure, |
and to teach his elders wisdom. |
23Israel also came into Egypt. |
Jacob lived in the land of Ham. |
24He increased his people greatly, |
and made them stronger than their adversaries. |
25He turned their heart to hate his people, |
to conspire against his servants. |
26He sent Moses, his servant, |
and Aaron, whom he had chosen. |
27They performed miracles amongst them, |
and wonders in the land of Ham. |
28He sent darkness, and made it dark. |
They didn’t rebel against his words. |
29He turned their waters into blood, |
and killed their fish. |
30Their land swarmed with frogs, |
even in the rooms of their kings. |
31He spoke, and swarms of flies came, |
and lice in all their borders. |
32He gave them hail for rain, |
with lightning in their land. |
33He struck their vines and also their fig trees, |
and shattered the trees of their country. |
34He spoke, and the locusts came |
with the grasshoppers, without number, |
35ate up every plant in their land, |
and ate up the fruit of their ground. |
36He struck also all the firstborn in their land, |
the first fruits of all their manhood. |
37He brought them out with silver and gold. |
There was not one feeble person amongst his tribes. |
38Egypt was glad when they departed, |
for the fear of them had fallen on them. |
39He spread a cloud for a covering, |
fire to give light in the night. |
40They asked, and he brought quails, |
and satisfied them with the bread of the sky. |
41He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. |
They ran as a river in the dry places. |
42For he remembered his holy word, |
and Abraham, his servant. |
43He brought his people out with joy, |
his chosen with singing. |
44He gave them the lands of the nations. |
They took the labour of the peoples in possession, |
45that they might keep his statutes, |
and observe his laws. |
Praise the LORD! |
