| Chapter 105 |
1 |
Oh give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known among the peoples his doings. |
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 Jehovah. |
4 |
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore. |
5 |
Remember his marvellous 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 Jehovah our 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 covenant which 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 in chains of iron, |
19 |
Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of Jehovah tried 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 elders 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 subtly with his servants. |
26 |
He sent Moses his servant, And Aaron 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, And flaming 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 grasshopper, 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 first-born 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 places like a river. |
42 |
For he remembered his holy word, And Abraham his servant. |
43 |
And he brought forth his people with joy, And his chosen with singing. |
44 |
And he gave them the lands of the nations; And they took the labor of the peoples in possession: |
45 |
That they might keep his statutes, And observe his laws. Praise ye Jehovah. Psalm 106 |
