# Chapter 105
|
|
1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord!
|
|
Call upon His name;
|
|
Make known His deeds among the peoples!
|
|
2 Sing to Him, sing psalms to Him;
|
|
Talk of all His wondrous works!
|
|
3 Glory in His holy name;
|
|
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord!
|
|
4 Seek the Lord and His strength;
|
|
Seek His face evermore!
|
|
5 Remember His marvelous works which He has done,
|
|
His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,
|
|
6 O seed of Abraham His servant,
|
|
You children of Jacob, His chosen ones!
|
|
7 He is the Lord our God;
|
|
His judgments are in all the earth.
|
|
8 He remembers His covenant forever,
|
|
The word which He commanded, for a thousand generations,
|
|
9 The covenant which He made with Abraham,
|
|
And His oath to Isaac,
|
|
10 And confirmed it to Jacob for a statute,
|
|
To Israel as an everlasting covenant,
|
|
11 Saying, “To you I will give the land of Canaan
|
|
As the allotment of your inheritance,”
|
|
12 When they were few in number,
|
|
Indeed very few, and strangers in it.
|
|
13 When they went from one nation to another,
|
|
From one kingdom to another people,
|
|
14 He permitted no one to do them wrong;
|
|
Yes, He rebuked kings for their sakes,
|
|
15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones,
|
|
And do My prophets no harm.”
|
|
16 Moreover He called for a famine in the land;
|
|
He destroyed all the provision of bread.
|
|
17 He sent a man before them—
|
|
Joseph—who was sold as a slave.
|
|
18 They hurt his feet with fetters,
|
|
He was laid in irons.
|
|
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
|
|
The word of the Lord tested him.
|
|
20 The king sent and released him,
|
|
The ruler of the people let him go free.
|
|
21 He made him lord of his house,
|
|
And ruler of all his possessions,
|
|
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure,
|
|
And teach his elders wisdom.
|
|
23 Israel also came into Egypt,
|
|
And Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
|
|
24 He increased His people greatly,
|
|
And made them stronger than their enemies.
|
|
25 He turned their heart to hate His people,
|
|
To deal craftily with His servants.
|
|
26 He sent Moses His servant,
|
|
And Aaron whom He had chosen.
|
|
27 They performed His signs among them,
|
|
And wonders in the land of Ham.
|
|
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark;
|
|
And they did not rebel against His word.
|
|
29 He turned their waters into blood,
|
|
And killed their fish.
|
|
30 Their land abounded with frogs,
|
|
Even in the chambers of their kings.
|
|
31 He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
|
|
And lice in all their territory.
|
|
32 He gave them hail for rain,
|
|
And flaming fire in their land.
|
|
33 He struck their vines also, and their fig trees,
|
|
And splintered the trees of their territory.
|
|
34 He spoke, and locusts came,
|
|
Young locusts without number,
|
|
35 And ate up all the vegetation in their land,
|
|
And devoured the fruit of their ground.
|
|
36 He also destroyed all the firstborn in their land,
|
|
The first of all their strength.
|
|
37 He also brought them out with silver and gold,
|
|
And there was none feeble 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 The people asked, and He brought quail,
|
|
And satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
|
|
41 He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
|
|
It ran in the dry places like a river.
|
|
42 For He remembered His holy promise,
|
|
And Abraham His servant.
|
|
43 He brought out His people with joy,
|
|
His chosen ones with gladness.
|
|
44 He gave them the lands of the Gentiles,
|
|
And they inherited the labor of the nations,
|
|
45 That they might observe His statutes
|
|
And keep His laws.
|
|
Praise the Lord! |
