Psalms 105
1 Praise the Lord, and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.
Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.
2 Sing vnto him, sing prayse vnto him, and talke of all his wonderous workes.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.
3 Reioyce in his holy Name: let the heart of them that seeke the Lord, reioyce.
Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
4 Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.
Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.
5 Remember his marueilous woorkes, that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgements of his mouth,
Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,
6 Ye seede of Abraham his seruant, ye children of Iaakob, which are his elect.
O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are through all the earth.
He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.
8 He hath alway remembred his couenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,
He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—
9 Euen that which he made with Abraham, and his othe vnto Izhak:
the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.
10 And since hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,
He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:
11 Saying, Vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”
12 Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,
When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,
13 And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
14 Yet suffered he no man to doe them wrong, but reprooued Kings for their sakes, saying,
He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:
15 Touche not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme.
“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”
16 Moreouer, he called a famine vpon ye land, and vtterly brake the staffe of bread.
He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.
17 But he sent a man before them: Ioseph was solde for a slaue.
He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.
18 They helde his feete in the stockes, and he was laide in yrons,
They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,
19 Vntill his appointed time came, and the counsell of the Lord had tryed him.
until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.
20 The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.
The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,
He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,
22 That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome.
to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.
23 Then Israel came to Egypt, and Iaakob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger then their oppressours.
And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deale craftily with his seruants.
whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.
26 Then sent he Moses his seruant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.
27 They shewed among them the message of his signes, and wonders in the land of Ham.
They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkenesse, and made it darke: and they were not disobedient vnto his commission.
He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slewe their fish.
He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.
30 Their land brought foorth frogs, euen in their Kings chambers.
Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.
31 He spake, and there came swarmes of flies and lice in all their quarters.
He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.
32 He gaue them haile for raine, and flames of fire in their land.
He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their figge trees, and brake downe the trees in their coastes.
He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.
34 He spake, and the grashoppers came, and caterpillers innumerable,
He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.
35 And did eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the fruite of their ground.
They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
36 He smote also all the first borne in their land, euen the beginning of all their strength.
Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
37 He brought them forth also with siluer and golde, and there was none feeble among their tribes.
He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
38 Egypt was glad at their departing: for the feare of them had fallen vpon them.
Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
39 He spred a cloude to be a couering, and fire to giue light in the night.
He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
40 They asked, and he brought quailes, and he filled them with the bread of heauen.
They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
41 He opened the rocke, and the waters flowed out, and ranne in the drye places like a riuer.
He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.
42 For he remembred his holy promise to Abraham his seruant,
For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.
43 And he brought forth his people with ioy, and his chosen with gladnesse,
He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.
44 And gaue them the lands of the heathen, and they tooke the labours of the people in possession,
He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,
45 That they might keepe his statutes, and obserue his Lawes. Prayse ye the Lord.
that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
