Tell of All His Wondrous Works
|
|
|
|
# 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 praises to him;
|
|
tell of all his wondrous works!
|
|
|
|
3. Glory in his holy name;
|
|
let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice!
|
|
|
|
4. Seek the LORD and his strength;
|
|
seek his presence continually!
|
|
|
|
5. Remember the wondrous works that he has done,
|
|
his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
|
|
|
|
6. O offspring of Abraham, his servant,
|
|
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 that he commanded, for a thousand generations,
|
|
|
|
9. the covenant that he made with Abraham,
|
|
his sworn promise to Isaac,
|
|
|
|
10. which he confirmed to Jacob as a statute,
|
|
to Israel as an everlasting covenant,
|
|
|
|
11. saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan
|
|
as your portion for an inheritance."
|
|
|
|
12. When they were few in number,
|
|
of little account, and sojourners in it,
|
|
|
|
13. wandering from nation to nation,
|
|
from one kingdom to another people,
|
|
|
|
14. he allowed no one to oppress them;
|
|
he rebuked kings on their account,
|
|
|
|
15. saying, "Touch not my anointed ones,
|
|
do my prophets no harm!"
|
|
|
|
16. When he summoned a famine on the land
|
|
and broke all supply of bread,
|
|
|
|
17. he had sent a man ahead of them,
|
|
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
|
|
|
|
18. His feet were hurt with fetters;
|
|
his neck was put in a collar of iron;
|
|
|
|
19. until what he had said came to pass,
|
|
the word of the LORD tested him.
|
|
|
|
20. The king sent and released him;
|
|
the ruler of the peoples set him free;
|
|
|
|
21. he made him lord of his house
|
|
and ruler of all his possessions,
|
|
|
|
22. to bind his princes at his pleasure
|
|
and to teach his elders wisdom.
|
|
|
|
23. Then Israel came to Egypt;
|
|
Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
|
|
|
|
24. And the LORD made his people very fruitful
|
|
and made them stronger than their foes.
|
|
|
|
25. He turned their hearts 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 miracles in the land of Ham.
|
|
|
|
28. He sent darkness, and made the land dark;
|
|
they did not rebel against his words.
|
|
|
|
29. He turned their waters into blood
|
|
and caused their fish to die.
|
|
|
|
30. Their land swarmed with frogs,
|
|
even in the chambers of their kings.
|
|
|
|
31. He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
|
|
and gnats throughout their country.
|
|
|
|
32. He gave them hail for rain,
|
|
and fiery lightning bolts through their land.
|
|
|
|
33. He struck down their vines and fig trees,
|
|
and shattered the trees of their country.
|
|
|
|
34. He spoke, and the locusts came,
|
|
young locusts without number,
|
|
|
|
35. which devoured all the vegetation in their land
|
|
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
|
|
|
|
36. He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
|
|
the firstfruits of all their strength.
|
|
|
|
37. Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold,
|
|
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
|
|
|
|
38. Egypt was glad when they departed,
|
|
for dread of them had fallen upon it.
|
|
|
|
39. He spread a cloud for a covering,
|
|
and fire to give light by night.
|
|
|
|
40. They asked, and he brought quail,
|
|
and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
|
|
|
|
41. He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
|
|
it flowed through the desert like a river.
|
|
|
|
42. For he remembered his holy promise,
|
|
and Abraham, his servant.
|
|
|
|
43. So he brought his people out with joy,
|
|
his chosen ones with singing.
|
|
|
|
44. And he gave them the lands of the nations,
|
|
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,
|
|
|
|
45. that they might keep his statutes
|
|
and observe his laws.
|
|
Praise the LORD!
