< Psalms 105 >

1 Praise the Lord, and call vpon his Name: declare his workes among the people.
Give ye thanks to Jehovah — call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.
2 Sing vnto him, sing prayse vnto him, and talke of all his wonderous workes.
Sing ye to Him — sing praise to Him, Meditate ye on all His wonders.
3 Reioyce in his holy Name: let the heart of them that seeke the Lord, reioyce.
Boast yourselves in His Holy Name, The heart of those seeking Jehovah rejoiceth.
4 Seeke the Lord and his strength: seeke his face continually.
Seek ye Jehovah and His strength, Seek ye His face continually.
5 Remember his marueilous woorkes, that he hath done, his wonders and the iudgements of his mouth,
Remember His wonders that He did, His signs and the judgments of His mouth.
6 Ye seede of Abraham his seruant, ye children of Iaakob, which are his elect.
O seed of Abraham, His servant, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.
7 He is the Lord our God: his iudgements are through all the earth.
He [is] Jehovah our God, In all the earth [are] His judgments.
8 He hath alway remembred his couenant and promise, that he made to a thousand generations,
He hath remembered to the age His covenant, The word He commanded to a thousand generations,
9 Euen that which he made with Abraham, and his othe vnto Izhak:
That He hath made with Abraham, And His oath to Isaac,
10 And since hath confirmed it to Iaakob for a lawe, and to Israel for an euerlasting couenant,
And doth establish it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel — a covenant age-during,
11 Saying, Vnto thee will I giue the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance.
Saying, 'To thee I give the land of Canaan, The portion of your inheritance,'
12 Albeit they were fewe in nomber, yea, very fewe, and strangers in the land,
In their being few in number, But a few, and sojourners in it.
13 And walked about from nation to nation, from one kingdome to another people,
And they go up and down, from nation unto nation, From a kingdom unto another people.
14 Yet suffered he no man to doe them wrong, but reprooued Kings for their sakes, saying,
He hath not suffered any to oppress them And He reproveth for their sakes kings.
15 Touche not mine anointed, and doe my Prophets no harme.
'Strike not against Mine anointed, And to My prophets do not evil.'
16 Moreouer, he called a famine vpon ye land, and vtterly brake the staffe of bread.
And He calleth a famine on the land, The whole staff of bread He hath broken.
17 But he sent a man before them: Ioseph was solde for a slaue.
He hath sent before them a man, For a servant hath Joseph been sold.
18 They helde his feete in the stockes, and he was laide in yrons,
They have afflicted with fetters his feet, Iron hath entered his soul,
19 Vntill his appointed time came, and the counsell of the Lord had tryed him.
Till the time of the coming of His word The saying of Jehovah hath tried him.
20 The King sent and loosed him: euen the Ruler of the people deliuered him.
The king hath sent, and looseth him, The ruler of the peoples, and draweth him out.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance,
He hath made him lord of his house, And ruler over all his possessions.
22 That he shoulde binde his princes vnto his will, and teach his Ancients wisedome.
To bind his chiefs at his pleasure, And his elders he maketh wise.
23 Then Israel came to Egypt, and Iaakob was a stranger in the land of Ham.
And Israel cometh in to Egypt, And Jacob hath sojourned in the land of Ham.
24 And he increased his people exceedingly, and made them stronger then their oppressours.
And He maketh His people very fruitful, And maketh it mightier than its adversaries.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, and to deale craftily with his seruants.
He turned their heart to hate His people, To conspire against His servants.
26 Then sent he Moses his seruant, and Aaron whom he had chosen.
He hath sent Moses His servant, Aaron whom He had fixed on.
27 They shewed among them the message of his signes, and wonders in the land of Ham.
They have set among them the matters of His signs, And wonders in the land of Ham.
28 He sent darkenesse, and made it darke: and they were not disobedient vnto his commission.
He hath sent darkness, and it is dark, And they have not provoked His word.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slewe their fish.
He hath turned their waters to blood, And putteth to death their fish.
30 Their land brought foorth frogs, euen in their Kings chambers.
Teemed hath their land [with] frogs, In the inner chambers of their kings.
31 He spake, and there came swarmes of flies and lice in all their quarters.
He hath said, and the beetle cometh, Lice into all their border.
32 He gaue them haile for raine, and flames of fire in their land.
He hath made their showers hail, A flaming fire [is] in their land.
33 He smote their vines also and their figge trees, and brake downe the trees in their coastes.
And He smiteth their vine and their fig, And shivereth the trees of their border.
34 He spake, and the grashoppers came, and caterpillers innumerable,
He hath said, and the locust cometh, And the cankerworm — innumerable,
35 And did eate vp all the grasse in their land, and deuoured the fruite of their ground.
And it consumeth every herb in their land, And it consumeth the fruit of their ground.
36 He smote also all the first borne in their land, euen the beginning of all their strength.
And He smiteth every first-born in their land, The first-fruit of all their strength,
37 He brought them forth also with siluer and golde, and there was none feeble among their tribes.
And bringeth them out with silver and gold, And there is not in its tribes a feeble one.
38 Egypt was glad at their departing: for the feare of them had fallen vpon them.
Rejoiced hath Egypt in their going forth, For their fear had fallen upon them.
39 He spred a cloude to be a couering, and fire to giue light in the night.
He hath spread a cloud for a covering, And fire to enlighten the night.
40 They asked, and he brought quailes, and he filled them with the bread of heauen.
They have asked, and He bringeth quails, And [with] bread of heaven satisfieth them.
41 He opened the rocke, and the waters flowed out, and ranne in the drye places like a riuer.
He hath opened a rock, and waters issue, They have gone on in dry places — a river.
42 For he remembred his holy promise to Abraham his seruant,
For He hath remembered His holy word, With Abraham His servant,
43 And he brought forth his people with ioy, and his chosen with gladnesse,
And He bringeth forth His people with joy, With singing His chosen ones.
44 And gaue them the lands of the heathen, and they tooke the labours of the people in possession,
And He giveth to them the lands of nations, And the labour of peoples they possess,
45 That they might keepe his statutes, and obserue his Lawes. Prayse ye the Lord.
That they may observe His statutes, And His laws may keep. Praise ye Jehovah!
