Psalms 105
1 Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
O give thanks unto the LORD; Call upon his name; Make known his deeds among the people!
2 Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works.
Sing unto him; sing psalms unto him; Tell ye of all his wondrous works!
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
Glory ye in his holy name; Let the hearts of them that seek the LORD rejoice!
4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore.
Seek the LORD, and his majesty; Seek his face continually!
5 Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
Remember the wonders he hath wrought, His miracles and the judgments of his mouth,
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant; ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
Ye offspring of Abraham his servant, Ye children of Jacob his chosen!
7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
Jehovah, he is our God, His judgments are over all the earth.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
He remembereth his covenant for ever, And the promise to a thousand generations;
9 Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac:
The covenant which he made with Abraham, And the oath which he gave to Isaac;
10 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
Which he confirmed to Jacob for a decree, And to Israel for an everlasting covenant.
11 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance.
“To thee,” said he, “will I give the land of Canaan For the lot of your inheritance.”
12 When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein:
When they were yet few in number, Very few, and strangers in the land;
13 And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people.
When they went from nation to nation, From one kingdom to another people,
14 He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes.
He suffered no man to oppress them; Yea, he rebuked kings for their sakes.
15 Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
“Touch not,” said he, “mine anointed, And do my prophets no harm!”
16 And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.
Again, when he commanded a famine in the land, And broke the whole staff of bread,

He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold as a slave.
18 They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul,
His feet they hurt with fetters; He was bound in chains of iron;
19 Until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him.
Until his prediction came to pass, And the word of the LORD proved him.
20 The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
Then the king sent, and loosed him; The ruler of nations, and set him free;
21 He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession.
He made him governor of his house, And lord of all his possessions;
22 That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom.
To bind his princes at his pleasure, And teach his counsellors wisdom.
23 And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.

24 And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies,
Where God increased his people greatly, And made them stronger than their enemies.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
He turned their hearts to hate his people, And form devices against his servants.
26 He sent Moses his servant: Aaron the man whom he had chosen.
Then sent he Moses his servant, And Aaron, whom he had chosen.
27 He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham.
They showed his signs among them, And his wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words.
He sent darkness upon them, and made it dark; And they did not disobey his word.

Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, Even in the chambers of their kings.
31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and sciniphs in all their coasts.
He spake, and there came flies, And lice in all their coasts.
32 He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land.
Instead of rain he gave them hail, And flaming fire in their land.
33 And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
He smote also their vines and fig-trees, And broke the trees of their coasts.
34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number.
He spake, and the locusts came. Destructive locusts without number,
35 And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
Which ate up all the herbage in their land, And devoured the fruits of their fields.
36 And he slew all the firstborn in their land: the firstfruits of all their labour.
Then he smote all the first-born in their land, The first-fruits of all their strength.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed forth, And ran in the dry places like a river.
42 Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
For he remembered his holy promise, Which he had made to Abraham his servant;
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness.
And he led forth his people with joy, And his chosen with gladness.
44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people:
He gave to them the lands of the nations, And they inherited the labor of the peoples;
45 That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law.
That they might observe his statutes, And obey his laws. Praise ye the LORD!
